I recently used Sabbatical Homes for a short-term rental, and unfortunately, I would not recommend this service. While there may be some great hosts on the platform, my experience was disappointing. It's the equivalent of using Craigslist to find a rental, at least in the U.S. No support, no vetting of hosts or tenants at all and no support. And they charge you $50, so maybe Craigslist is the smarter choice. The host I rented from specifically mentioned choosing this site because it doesn’t have the same rules and safeguards that Airbnb or Vrbo do—and that showed.Even more concerning, after I submitted my review of the rental, it was edited by the site. This made me very uncomfortable and raised questions about transparency. Are other reviews being altered as well? They also reached out to me to ask if I would retract the review.If I had to do it again, I would choose a platform with stronger support and clearer policies for renters and hosts.
