Yelp
"Our movers were very kind, thoughtful, hardworking, and super efficient! Our move could not have been more smooth! Jayme, Dorian, Stefan, and DaQuan were amazing! Thank you!"
Sample negative reviews
Yelp
"Beware of hidden costs! The movers did a great job, but my final bill came to $1450 instead of the quoted $1186. Bellhop added service fees I wasn't expecting, and didn't reach out when I tried to contact them."
Yelp
"I deeply regret that I am unable to provide a negative rating rather than one star. Despite booking a month ahead, the truck driver failed to show up, resulting in a major hardship for me. Bellhop only offered to reschedule for the following week."
Yelp
"Edit: AND they damaged multiple pieces of our furniture—pictures to follow. This business flat out lied about expectations and left us with furniture at our old house. They left 5 hours earlier than booked and didn't move furniture to needed rooms."
Sample neutral reviews
Yelp
"I'm pretty disappointed because they quoted me for my apartment and storage unit. The truck could only fit what was in my apartment. My dining room table and chairs got scuffed up, but everything else was ok. They were on time."
Yelp
"At least everything got to my place in one piece. First they scheduled me for the wrong day. The move was over 2 hours late, and they couldn't give me updates. They did give a discount for the inconvenience."
Yelp
"One of the movers scheduled was a no show, so my friend and I helped to get the job done within four hours. The mattresses got very dirty in the truck. We shouldn't have been expected to help, but the movers did most of the work."

For decades movers In Pennsylvania were regulated by the Public Utility Commission (PUC). Each company was issued a PUC Number and was required to abide by a universal publicly published tariff that established the rates movers could charge for various services. Now, some sources claim that the PUC no longer regulates in-state movers, and it appears as though the PUC’s website is no longer functioning. So if you’re moving within Pennsylvania, you’ll want to address these issues with your moving company representative and if possible, contact the state directly. You can verify Bellhop Moving's active status on the Pennsylvania licensed movers database.

Our summary of Bellhop Moving
Bellhop Moving earns strong marks for efficiency, professional and approachable crews, and quick, careful service. Customer feedback highlights that moves often proceed swiftly, with friendly staff showing respect for property and maintaining positive attitudes. Many users note their belongings remained intact thanks to careful handling, and movers frequently finished ahead of schedule. In contrast, several customers faced delays, unexpected scheduling issues, and items damaged during moves.

Compared to others in the industry, Bellhop stands out for affordable, rapid moves when everything goes as planned, but lacks consistent reliability during peak times or for complex moves.
