Yelp

"The lack of care Bellhops uses to move customer's belongings...The movers didn't wrap a large glass top dining table and dropped the whole thing—shattering the top and scratching the base."

Yelp

"I signed up to use bellhops because of the wonderful reviews, but I had a terrible experience...my move was cancelled two hours after supposed to start and said they had no way to get movers to me at all that day."

Sample neutral reviews

Yelp

"Bellhops customer service is prompt at addressing the issue...their customer service was great, however the move itself was undeniably subpar, perhaps you will have a different experience!"

Yelp

"It was an overall good experience. Movers came on time, performed the job very fast...however, we had to do all the packing and protective coverage. For the only 2 pieces not covered they were scratched."

Yelp

"Unloading team was beyond exceptional...Will advise the following: They didn't wrap anything before taking it out of the house. A lot of expensive furniture got wet. You get what you pay for in the end."
