Good people on site, unsure of verification checks

The two cleaners that we've booked have been very pleasant, quiet and on time. Missed a couple of spots but nothing that couldn't be picked up on if returning. Very good both times.

My issue is that the reviews on the site seem to be misleading. The second person we hired had 20 reviews, averaging 4.9. However when she arrived at the house, she didn't have a word of English and has only been in Ireland for two weeks. She was nervous as this was one of her first jobs. This makes me a little uncomfortable as she definitely doesn't have 20+ jobs under her belt, and she didn't leave the reviews herself. It's not my business but I hope she has people that can support her here, and isn't being taken advantage of. I doubt she's actually allowed work here legally.
I'd love to employ her again directly but also want to be sure I'm not encouraging any set ups that may be taking advantage of women that have to leave their family to find work in an unknown country.

Helpling is great overall but the checks & reviews do not seem to be thorough or fully verified.

To Helpling's response for more information. I really appreciate your quick request to review. Since the lady that came to me does need the work and money and is very nice (and did a good job!) I'm afraid I don't want to identify her by giving more details. I understand this does not benefit you to resolve but I do feel like I'm in a difficult position where you should know, however I can't knowingly impact someone negatively in getting much needed work (why I commented here instead of on your platform). I appreciate you reviewing this review and you're welcome to remove it if you wish as I can't help further.

Dear CR,
All the providers are freelancers and the reviews you see on the platform come from Helpling customers or are references of previous customers of the provider.
We requested to get your full details to directly talk with you and have a better understanding of this specific situation that - we agree - doesn't look as it should.
Please reply to the request or directly write to us at info@helpling.ie
Thank you, Helpling Team

EDIT after the updated reply:
Our interest is definitely not to create issues with that person at all but, on the contrary, to make everything right with all parties involved. We can assure you of this.
We can't remove a review on a 3rd party platform, of course, and it's not our aim. So we hope you will reconsider your position.
Thank you, Helpling Team

Lovely cleaner

Lovely cleaner, friendly and helpful (Eliene). Worked really hard, despite our hoover causing problems. Couple of little bits missed when I checked afterwards but, honestly, a great job done. Would be good if there was some way of seeing your cleaner’s schedule for the next few weeks so that you could book a suitable time and date without having to email back and forth.

Dear CB,
We're glad to read that you found a person you could trust on the platform. We definitely believe things can always improve as soon as the cleaner knows the house better!

Don't trust this company

I am extremely disappointed with the service I received from Helping. After paying for my initial clean, circumstances changed, and I no longer required a cleaner. Despite informing them and requesting that they stop any further transactions, they have continuously attempted to dip into my account for additional unauthorized payments.

For the past five weeks, they have tried to access my bank account twice a week, which is both unacceptable and unethical. This behavior is a blatant disregard for customer trust and financial security. I expected a professional and respectful handling of my request, but instead, I have been met with repeated unauthorized charges. I strongly advise against using Helping, as their practices are highly questionable and deeply concerning.

Best place for hiring a cleaner

Our cleaner Jessica was prompt, professional, and left the office tidy, dirt and dust free. The website is easy to use, and the customer support is fast and efficient.

Dear Paulina,
We're really sorry for your negative experience.
We don't have any hidden charge, the only time there could be a different charge is when a customer cancels a recurring order after one event and the system updates the charge to a one-off.
If this is not the case, please reach out to our customer care!

Payment not received

Because I did a job, but I don’t received yet. After 15 days I don’t received. I am sending a lot of emails, but they said they already paid. I have even contacted my bank, but there is no payment.

Dear Gabriel,
We are truly sorry that you are experiencing an issue with your payment.
As the team already wrote to you, the payout has been made (otherwise we wouldn't have had the code to share with you and your bank). We are anyway checking if any error has been highlighted and we will keep you posted!
In any case, you will receive your money soon.
Thank you, Helpling Team

Excellent service

I booked a cleaning service with helpling, and couldn't have been happier with the results. I had the pleasure of being assigned Danilo Souza who I could not speak highly enough about. I have very high standards and this was the first time that I have ever been happy with a cleaning service. Danilo left the house sparking. He even fixed my shower door and sink! I couldn't believe it when I walked into my bathroom! I just walk around the house now admiring how clean it is, which makes such a difference to how I feel in it. Danilo was so friendly, paid such incredible attention to detail. I am so pleased! Thank you Danilo!
