My experience at Canterbury Student Village has been extremely disappointing and concerning from the very start. When I first moved in, my flat and room were in an unliveable condition — there was dirt swept behind the bed, the kitchen contained mouldy, decayed food frozen to the fridge, and it was clear no cleaning staff had entered since the previous occupants left. The state of the flat felt borderline a biohazard. When I raised this issue, the staff member on duty initially tried to justify the situation by saying this was “the cheapest accommodation in Canterbury,” which is not true and completely irrelevant — no level of pricing excuses giving students a filthy, unsafe room. After a long discussion, I was only offered a room change when the manager arrived. The manager’s response was unprofessional, even suggesting I cancel my booking because she thought I would “give her a headache” later for reporting issues. The second room I received was only slightly better. It still had spiders, stains on the carpet, and an old mattress, but at least it was somewhat habitable. However, the problems continued. A few weeks later, the blinds fell down — they had been attached with a single screw, a clear safety hazard. Other ongoing issues include: Weak, unreliable Wi-Fi that has gone down multiple times, making studying extremely difficult. Poor parcel handling — parcels arriving over the weekend aren’t collected, and even when they are, you often have to wait more than a day for a QR code before being allowed to pick them up. Visible neglect in the building, such as a hole in the wall near the entrance that was “repaired” by crudely hammering a piece of wood over it, and a persistent unpleasant smell on entry. Most recently, no hot water for two days, and when I asked staff what to do, I was told to “use a kettle” to heat water — a completely unsafe and unacceptable suggestion. When I asked for temporary access to another room to shower, they refused to help, saying I could only do so during reception hours. It’s clear that serious health, safety, and management issues exist here, and many problems are either ignored or handled very slowly. I’m genuinely considering taking this matter to small claims court due to the poor living conditions, lack of duty of care, and negligence I’ve experienced. I would strongly advise future students to avoid Canterbury Student Village until major improvements are made in cleanliness, safety, and management professionalism.

A lot to say about this place. The fact this accommodation had a 2.6 rating a few weeks ago and it’s suddenly jumped to 3.8 is telling, despite there being only one 5 star review in this timeframe. The only good things about this place are its prices and ok room size. The cons, there’s a lot of cons. Trying to communicate with Cloud student homes is like trying to talk to a ghost. They respond to emails incredibly slow and they won’t even pick up the phone. Upon arriving in my room, the floor was dirty, the toilet had human waste in it and on the toilet seat. The drawers still had food inside and dust was everywhere. When I questioned the manager she told me I should have booked an appointment of arrival so it could be cleaned properly. Even though I did book an appointment scheduled 2 hours before I actually got into my room. For the next 2 weeks my cluster didn’t have a microwave for 2 whole weeks. For 5 days, the building didn’t have running hot water. For nearly 2 days there wasn’t any working WiFi. As I write now the WiFi isn’t working and even if it does, sometimes it’s slow to the point my phone will connect to mobile data instead. I also had to wait 2 weeks for my cluster’s stove to be replaced and the cleaners barely do any work in the kitchen. I’d like to be generous but there’s far too many issues to be ignored and my experience going by the other reviews isn’t unique either. I would advise living at this accommodation unless you need to save money. God bless.

Not a good experience at all with cloud student homes. I applied for accommodation here and first impressions were not good. Cobwebs and insects in the corner of the bedroom and a mattress so springy and uncomfortable. The keycard to my room didn’t even work on my first night there. On my 2nd day there I was just chilling on my bed when some worker just opened my door. I mean what if I was just getting out the shower or changing. It is so unacceptable! When he opened the door (literally wide open!) he said, “oh sorry” and I said, “are you here to fix my keycard for my room” he said “yes” and shut the door and just left and didn’t do anything. Regardless of whether him opening the door was a mistake or not, it is not ok for an unauthorised entry into my room to occur. Especially when I’m paying 7k for it. And in my section, all the rooms that were clearly unoccupied had their doors fully open and the beds up (as they are storage beds that can be lifted). And my room is right at the end and one room opposite me and one room next to me the doors were fully shut clearly indicating they were occupied so it was quite silly for someone to walk past many unoccupied rooms and used a keycard to open it with no knock or anything. I told my mum about this, and she was not happy at all as well and she wanted me to leave straight away after this incident had happened. After re-reading the contract again it was a clear breach when the guy opened my door without prior, written notice therefore, we should have the tenancy cancelled and not be liable for rent. As firstly why am I going to pay rent for a place that does things like that and clearly doesn’t clean the room before a new tenant moves in. We spoke to the property manager who was helpful, and she said to me and mum that the tenancy would be cancelled. That was all ok initially, but they have been trying to take the rent from me which I should not have to pay, so I went back telling them that I have received notifications about rent and then the property manager said to me that you still must pay rent until a replacement tenant is found. This is understandable if I was just no longer wanting to stay there. However, due to what happened it should not make me have to find a replacement and still pay rent. The tenancy should just be cancelled and that’s that. Overall, I wouldn’t sign a contract here, Just Don’t Do It! The reviews on their page are already bad I’m only adding fuel to the fire.

AVOID AT ALL COST! 5 STAR REVIEWS GOT TO BE FAKE ! ive been living here for a good month now and have been trying to find every way to move out. The money paid for an ensuite here isnt worth a penny , stupid pricing for it to be this far out , have 0 to no facilities , ping pong and pool table shown in pictures were a lie ( they dont exist ) , outside benches and areas are broken and always disgusting . Let alone the rooms and apartments..... I moved in to the delightful information of "we havent cleaned since the last tenants " - the walls are dirty , scratched up , full of blue tack (and this isnt just my room) - the carpet was never thoroughly cleaned - THEY TRIED TO GET ME TO KEEP THE OLD TENANTS MATTRESS - Full of bedbugs and mites - Furniture in the kitchen and rooms are either broken or barely working The toilets are also grimy and hadn't been cleaned , only got cleaned after 4 times of asking and still wasnt a great job . - The shower is cold , water doesnt run hot at all . The Staff and Maintenece team are practically useless , they dont reply to tickets unless you plead for them to come by the reception , and thats if you dont get ignored. Then comes the WIFI . For a **STUDENT** Accom you would expect the wifi to be of standards at the VERY least .. its almost impossible to dowload files without it crashing on you and disconnecting , and FORGET about playing games since the ping is always 100ms +. Genuinley hope people see this post and avoid coming here these lot do not deserve a penny of anyones money .

I dropped off my daughter here nearly 2 weeks ago and she was one of the first to move in. This is my honest opinions as a Father. Cleanliness on Arrival: The whole unit was dirty with lots of dead insects, cobwebs and dust in the rooms and communal areas. State of Room: Terrible. The mattress was the worst mattress I have ever seen and I could fold it like a slice of bread. Sitting on it was like sitting on a piece of cardboard. It had no buoyancy at all and is long past its usable state. Many things do not work correctly like the mini fridge and shower and although this has all been documented in an online inventory form, apart from an acknowledgement email, no further communication has been received as to if, and when any of these will be fixed. Urban Student Life: The worst thing I have found about this place is the way the management of Urban Student Life is actually setup. When Students contract with USL, they think they are contracting with USL and will receive a similar service to everyone else living there. In fact, the rooms are split up and owned by seperate investors and depending on which investor owns your block, your experience can be very different. For example, my daughter's room is actually owned and managed by cloudstudenthomes.co.uk. She has this terrible mattress (and still does), but literally in the rooms next door (which are owned by different investors), they have newer comfortable mattresses (see pictures). Another example is the Cloud Homes rooms did not have a Student Welcome Box (with a few drinks and snacks) or welcome information leaflet which was actually branded as USL. The latter actually had very useful information like Fire Evacuation information and emergency numbers. Other investor owned rooms did have this. After phoning the office, we did secure a welcome box, but this should be provided by Cloud Homes as standard, especially as it contains Health and Safety information and as it is branded USL, which is who we thought we had contracted with. On-Site Staff: I literally do not know what the staff are there for except to loan out the Vacuum cleaners and provide keys. Any questions about the room or flats and you are met with the standard answer “You'll have to contact the investors”, in our case, Cloud Homes, who when you contact apologise for not being up to standard, but have failed to act so far. No replacement mattress has come despite repeated emails and calls or any response on problematic items from the inventory. I have actually had my daughter crying down the phone to me because she cannot sleep, due to the poor mattress. So in summary for all you prospective students, foreign students and parents, I would not recommend this place and if you do come here, I would perform due. diligence about who you are actually contracting with and what differences you can expect as you'll be paying the same rent, but won't have the same experience! Should the experience improve, I will gladly change my review to reflect any improvement.
