Sunil and Varsha Bhargav did a wonderful job of spring cleaning our bedroom. (In autumn!) After they dusted everything including the picture rails, vacuumed in hard-to-get-to places and polished all the furniture it looked great! I was thrilled to bits! Show details · 2

Dodgy – Dodgy company that sue franchise owners chase them for money that they know the poor people can’t pay. Aggressive business practices Show details
Service that never fails – Our V.I.P. gardener, Allison, is a treasure. She is reliable, knowledgeable and expert using her sola charged tools. I think of her as Queen of the Edges. And she goes beyond what is asked of her. For instance, Allison will check to see if any trees need pruning away from wires. She always clears up the leaf litter. She is thorough and very thoughtful.

Oh dear. Can’t clean – First clean with VIP. Was also my last. Quoted verbally so I accepted a clean. That evening he sent official quote for much more than verbal quote but gave a “discount” on first clean. Might have discounted in dollars but also discounted in quality of clean. I found footprints in shower, scum around floor tiles, grime on supposedly wiped surfaces and toilet not thoroughly cleaned. Show details

Excellent clean of bed and lounge – I enquired with VIP about having my lounge cleaned and my mattress. Matt from VIP came and did the clean. It was fantastic. Got rid of the stains and stuff. Very happy. 5 stars! Show details · 1
The VIP Treatment! – I had a wonderful experience when I engaged VIP to clean my sofa. Matt came out and did an amazing job by removing a few older stains and giving my couch a much needed freshen up. He explained the benefit of adding some sanitiser to the sofa to help give it some extra protection. I highly recommend this company! Show details
Mammoth job with great attention to detail – VIP Garden Services, Maintenance & Lawn Mowing based in Point Cook completed a garden clean-up in Maidstone, which was a big job. This was the first time I'd utilised such a service and was extremely satisfied with their work, hiring them on recommendation from a colleague. A very positive experience. The team of 2 delivered exceptional service… Read more
- they went above and beyond as it was certainly a bigger job than expected! Everything went according to plan. They were good communicators - responsive and very flexible with times (as other collections needed to be coordinated with no crossover due to access) and it was necessary to achieve this work over two sessions. They were always professional and courteous, even under trying circumstances! In fact, the whole team were excellent in each of their capacities and timeliness in delivering this service, whether onsite or not. Did a fabulous job taking the garden back to it's original intended state, with good attention to detail on finishing off. Couldn't recommend them more highly. Very happy with their work. Would have no hesitation in using them again, and thoroughly recommend them to anyone else. Was good value all round - with an excellent job provided at a great price.

Disgusting VIP shailer Park Queensland franchisee – Warming don't use V.I.P. Lawns & Gardens - Shailer Park to do some garden/ lawn mowing maintenance.He's a disgusting person takes advantage of a person on the Ndis.He cut the electricity to the automatic gate with the hedge trimmer he was using try to say he didn't do it until they said it was captured on camera.Then he said he would pay to get… Read more
it fixed but that was 2months ago what a shithead. The electrician fixed the gate .But the "gardener "only cared about himself getting paid first .He was told you paid for the damage you did .It's a hard enough life for the ndis participant who would like nothing more than to do everything for himself.But this person damaged a very expensive automatic gate now the ndis participant will have to pay the electrician out of pocket.
Have email ndis with all information. Will send to insurance company information well post on… Read more (+2 replies)

Dangerous driving – I would like to inform you of one of your employees/franchise owners that is reckless and dangerous on the road. His number plate is GLENN2 and had V.I.P decals all over the car. He was tailgating extremely close and aggressively, doing rude and obscene gestures and worst of all, attempted an overtake maneuver that was extremely dangerous putting… Read more
lives at risk, including young children. This is an extremely bad look for your company that someone with that sort of attitude is representing you on the road in that way.

Shockingly bad and expensive – Shocking. We tried them for 3 visits before we fired them. two men turned up, one couldn't communicate as they couldn't speak English. the other kept talking about how successful their children are. they wanted to talk more than work, they missed rooms that we didn't pick up until after they left. toilets were left dirty, no attention to detail. rushed to get out and asked for cash only. no receipts. Never again!!! $220 for 3 hours. Show details

Do not get a franchise – TERRIBLE TERRIBLE customer service. I am a franchisee, my invoices to customers have not been set out for 2 months. I'm about to lose my business. Do they give a damn no. Show details

Never again – My initial contact (my real estate agent recommended me to use them for end of lease clean) I was very clear in my conversation, he kept postponing then eventually turned up. He was disinterested and not wanting to look properly, then he embarrassed me in front of other people and said the place was too messy and he wanted to charge me extra even… Read more
though their website states it is part of their package, he then said he would have to do it over three days (not what he told me on the phone). I would have expected the place to be messy as I’m in the middle of moving, and he made me feel very uncomfortable in my own home, he did not apologise for his x 3 postponed appointments.

$500 down the drain – Quoted $519 for 3 rooms, 5 seater sofa and rug. I paid $500 for sofa (back not done), 1.5 rooms(as underneath queen bed was not done) with make up stains still there and i also vacuumed the rug straight after because i could see dirt. No attension to detail. So disapointed. Show details
Cannot be trusted without supervision – i would not recommend this company, they contract out to cleaners they do not supervisor or manage. we watched on camera the cleaners and they walked in and out of the office within 15 minutes and charged a full clean service. no clean was effectively done. when vacuuming the vacuum was not even scraping the carpet. it was held in his hand most of the time whilst walking around. there was no apology for this work ethic or effective actions taken.

Poor service – Cleaner came for a walk through before coming for the first time today. Came home and 1st thought was she hadn't been. Noticed the wet floors and thought oh ok she has been. The floors had clearly not be vacuumed properly or at all. Under the beds which are easily accessible and sofas which can also be vacuumed still had the dust bunnies there.… Read more
Some not all surfaces wiped down. Smeary marks left. Called the cleaner and she told me she only goes as far as the vacuum reaches? We have sockets that she can plug into to reach all areas. Shabby job without any care factor. Definitely not VIP service a as described. 1st and last time ! Also went off with my house key that had been left to use and replace. Not impressed ! Caused more stress and had to finish the job myself.

Time wasters – Uncommunitative. Time wasters. Waited around for a quote, accepted the quote, then the cleaner spent several weeks making excuses as to why he couldn't do the job. Unsure why VIP would bother quoting if they have no intention of taking on the work. Waste. Of. Time. Show details

Fantastic job! – Sam has brought our 20 year old modular sofas back to life. The stained arms & sides are like new (I hate to think of the colour of the water). He was so friendly & professional and a credit to the VIP brand, we will definitely recommend to others. The cost was very reasonable considering the result that Sam achieved. He also worked on our dog-peed shaggy rug & it also is like new. Perfect to now put on to our newly laid carpet. Show details
This is Stealing – I asked for a quote to get two couches moved, the quote never came, the man said he would come Saturday I cancelled because I couldn't trust him with my tip vouchers, and took the couch myself. It cost $5. He charged me $356 'cancellation fee' he told he thought it would take 7 hours to take it to the tip and he didn't know how much the tip fees… Read more
would cost, even though he knew I had tip vouchers. it took one hour. I am so sick of people taking advantage of people with disabilities.

Cleaned my carpets, 3 rooms and passage – It’s remarkable what a professional clean has as a result. I have a cat too and I do spill stuff. Even after the vacuum it looked much better and I think all the stains are gone. I elected to have scotchgard too as I have read it is very effective. Matt worked hard and smart. He took care and I feel put in extra. Show details · 1
Very Rude – We engaged VIP home cleaning services on the Northern Beaches of Sydney and have never been so dissapointed in a service before. The operator was so rude and kept telling us everything that was wrong wth our house. We kneo it was dirty as we are busy parents and business owners and the hosue has got away from us. So we engaged VIP to get it back… Read more
on track. When we sent pictures of what was missed we were left a very rude voicemail telling us how dirty and old our house is compared to the new house next door. Would recommend never using this guy ever again.
Excellent job! – Steve arrived on time for both the quote and the carpet clean. He gave excellent advice and did an exceptional job. Our office carpets look great and smell fantastic. We are so pleased. Thank you. Show details

No quote after 2 weeks – No response to online request for gardening services on Sunday 1/5/22. I called on 4/5 to see if they were going to quote. I had a call from a franchisee later that day who said she was going to visit the following day. I left my side gate open so they could see back garden but no quote or any follow-up contact has been provided. Two weeks after initial inquiry I have heard nothing from VIP about if or when they can attend to my garden. Show details
Everything smells and looks so clean – Matt has just left my home after giving my lounge, rug and carpets the most exceptional clean and the smell is incredible! Everything smells and looks so clean. I was very impressed with the service V.I.P. provided. Matt is very knowledgeable and friendly professional technician. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend V.I.P. to my friends/family. Show details
Professional, honest and effective – Steve was very professional, arrived on time, well prepared and knowledgeable about the cleaning service. He did a fantastic job of the carpets and the lounges and has excellent customer service. Will recommend to others and use VIP in the future. Show details
Very poor service – Bought a voucher $300 . Contacted to discuss cleaning, 2 weeks later , no reply. Rang again left message, waited 3 weeks, no reply. Rang their head office who indicated they would contact local operator, 2 weeks later no reply. Rang head office again who apologised and they said they had another local contact available. Waited 2 weeks no reply.… Read more
Contacted head office again and asked for a refund of my voucher, I was then told that the voucher had a 3 year term and that I'd have to wait till then to get a refund. Consumer affairs were no help. Pathetic company, pathetic service.
Poorly trained cleaning franchise – Thought I would use a franchise for my home cleaning service as they would be trained unfortunately this is not the case. I gave them 2 goes extremely poor don’t recommend Show details
