Review Time
Just don't do it. Bad condition of apartment, things falling apart (toilet, showerroom), internet not working for large amount of time, extremely slow to send a technician, anicent facilities, they just wanna take your money and don't care much about the customers experience. Also they will try to deduct your deposit in any way possible. Read the contract very thoroughly as they will charge you for the electricty the other occupants use even if you don't use heating yourself. Also waited as long as possible to partly refund deposit, while they will instantly harass you if you don't pay on due date. I assume they will try to protect themselves in the reply, but please don't believe them.

Do not rent this house. The conditions in which we found the property were deplorable and my experience has been horrible. The treatment is awful. Please do not consider this option, they only want to take your money. The price you pay is absurd for the state of the house, which is old and dirty. Don’t even think about it.
Hidden notice period: the company did not clearly inform tenants about the notice period and its conditions, deliberately putting you at a disadvantage in order to charge an extra month’s rent.Excessive prices: the rents and fees are abnormally high, specifically targeting students and foreigners who are less familiar with the market and have fewer alternatives.Abusive cleaning fees: tenants are forced to pay not only for the cleaning of their own room, but also for the common areas and even for a room prepared for a future flatmate. This means outgoing tenants are paying for services that benefit new arrivals.Response to colivys: I sent an email over a month ago informing you of my departure, but you chose to hide the requirement of sending a physical letter just so you could keep the money. You also attempted to withdraw money from my account even though I never accepted automatic debit.As for the cleaning fees, there is no mention that we are required to pay them. You also failed to inform us properly—someone just showed up unexpectedly, and we were charged even for the private room of another person, which is unacceptable.
I stayed with Colivys, and while the accommodation was fine, the handling of my security deposit was extremely poor and unprofessional.I moved out on June 3rd, and despite leaving the room and the common areas in clean condition, I had to chase them repeatedly for nearly two months. The deposit was only returned right before the legal deadline, and only after I followed up several times and stated I was ready to take legal action.One of their agents, falsely accused me of not cleaning the apartment. When I requested evidence, none was given. Only after I demanded proof and mentioned legal escalation did she quietly backtrack, without offering any apology for the false claim or her disrespectful tone.What’s more frustrating is that my first follow-up about the deposit was six weeks after move-out — hardly “early,” as their response later claimed. Being told it was still “under validation” just days before the deadline shows a clear lack of organization and accountability.Colivys, on another review, replied saying they acted within the legal timeframe, but that misses the point entirely. The issue wasn’t the number of days—it was the complete lack of professionalism, transparency, and respect shown throughout the process.Trying to blame delays on tenants following up is unacceptable, especially when my first inquiry came six weeks after moving out. Their process was clearly disorganized, and had I not pushed, I doubt I would have been refunded on time at all. (As it seems they have a long track record of not refunding deposits in time from multiple other reviews)I would not rent with Colivys again, and strongly advise others to be cautious, especially when it comes to recovering your deposit.AGAIN: Their reply is full of lies I’m not surprised I am extremely disappointed by the false and unprofessional response issued by Colivys. To clarify:I moved out on June 3rd, and my first follow-up about the deposit was six weeks later — hardly "early" or excessive.The room was left in clean condition, and I wasn’t present at the scheduled time for the check-out but I had given weeks of notice and spoke to multiple agents, due to their own lack of organisation they failed to communicate with each other (can’t be the client and also work admin for your guys). The claim that I wasn’t there completely shifts the blame rather than taking accountability, I communicated multiple times relaying the message to each other, that in fact is your job. At no point during my stay was I rude to staff, nor did I receive any formal complaints about my behavior. The agent’s claims are not only unfounded but were never mentioned until after I left, which is telling.The accusation that I said “it’s your job” to remove bedding is an outright fabrication.I never smoked inside the property. If any roommates made such accusations, I was never made aware, nor given the opportunity to respond to them during my tenancy.As for the supposed “proof of cleanliness,” I repeatedly requested it — and it was only when I insisted on legal action that the accusations were suddenly withdrawn.This kind of revisionist response appears aimed at justifying their delayed communication and poor service. Rather than take accountability, Colivys has chosen to respond with baseless personal attacks, which further demonstrates the lack of professionalism I experienced throughout my tenancy.Calling my experience “overly exaggerated” dismisses valid concerns about your staff’s behavior and poor organization. Your response is childish and only proves my point about the unprofessionalism I encountered.I stand by my review and hope you take this feedback seriously to improve your service.
I stayed in a Colivys apartment in Lille for almost a year, and my experience was very positive. The apartment had all the essential facilities, and any issues or maintenance requests were resolved quickly by the support team.The location was also a big plus it was very close to my university (SKEMA Business School), which made commuting easy and saved a lot of time. The living environment was peaceful, and the apartment was well-equipped and clean.Overall, it was a smooth and hassle-free experience. I would definitely recommend Colivys to students and interns looking for reliable and convenient housing in Lille.
As an international student in Paris, I had previously been required to deal with different agents/organisations (e.g., CROUS), which presented me with several issues such as long administrative processing times, poor communication and a lack of interest in the wellbeing of me as a tenant.As part of my course, I ended up with a last-minute internship which required me to move to Nantes and find accommodation in a short timeframe. When it became clear that CROUS would not be able to process my request in a timely manner, I reached out to Colivys after seeing that they had a range of apartments in convenient locations at competitive rates.The company got back to me very rapidly, with several polite members of staff (who were able to accommodate me with ease in both French and English) helping to get everything in order for a swift move.I stayed at the property for 6 months, during which the company was very attentive and receptive to my needs, reaching out to see how I was faring at several points, helping me to sort out some issues that arose with an APL application and ensuring that appropriate services were dispatched if any problems occurred in the apartment itself.I left the accommodation with only positive things to say and would happily use Colivys' services in the future.
