Hubs.travel is a Fraud
I paid a deposit to Hubs.travel for a long-stay “workation” at Broumov Monastery, advertised at €340/month including breakfast. The same guesthouse charges around €1,900/month (Booking.com). After paying, I was told there were no rooms for me and offered credits for other, much more expensive locations or next year — no refunds. Most people probably just give up.
Other red flags:
No independent reviews or Trustpilot presence.
Website launched late 2023, low traffic, hidden WHOIS.
Marketing via Instagram & WhatsApp, not transparent booking systems.
Community chats dead, no peer verification.
Communication is inconsistent: initial replies, then ghosting. Complain publicly? You get blocked.
Claimed “municipality discounts” are implausible — the monastery is run by a foundation, not the city.
Bottom line: At best, a bait-and-switch lead magnet with tiny staged groups. At worst, a confidence game. Verify directly and use secure payment methods only.
