About How Was Your Stay?
Our Mission
How Was Your Stay? was created with a simple mission: to bring transparency to the rental market and empower renters with real, verified information about potential homes.
We believe that every renter deserves to know what they're getting into before signing a lease. By providing a platform for anonymous, verified reviews, we help renters make informed decisions and avoid unpleasant surprises.
How Was Your Stay? is also for the great landlords out there who genuinely care. If you've had one who created a safe, happy home… show them some love with a 5-star review. They deserve a shout-out that could help them shine (and help someone else find a great place to live).
How It Works
1. Search for Properties
Use our Google Maps-powered search to find any rental property. Whether you're considering a new place or curious about your current one, we've got you covered.
2. Leave Anonymous Reviews
Share your rental experience anonymously. We verify your tenancy through a series of questions, but your identity remains completely private. This protects you from potential landlord retaliation while helping future renters.
3. Access Verified Reviews
For a small fee, unlock access to all reviews for a property. Learn about rent history, landlord behavior, maintenance issues, and more from people who've actually lived there.
Our Verification Process
We take review verification seriously to ensure the information on our platform is trustworthy and accurate:
- Detailed tenancy questions that only actual residents would know
- Cross-referencing of rental dates and property details
- Landlord/property manager information verification
- Manual review of suspicious submissions
While our system isn't perfect, we continuously improve our verification methods to maintain the highest possible quality of reviews.
Privacy & Anonymity
Your privacy is our top priority. All reviews on RentReview are completely anonymous:
- We never display your name, email, or any identifying information
- We don't share your personal data with landlords or property managers
- We use industry-standard security measures to protect your information
- We only collect the minimum information needed to verify your review
