A customer’s own words about their experience with Simply Maid.
Book a clean“The team was absolutely amazing, within an hour they had cleaned every inch of my apartment. Sokki is a miracle worker and got my oven so clean it literally looks brand new. They were all so lovely, came in with big smiles and got straight to work. Will definitely be requesting them again.”

These figures count bookings and feedback recorded for addresses in Balaclava. Repeat visits count separately, so cleans are not homes. Frequency shares use all recorded completed visits with a recognised frequency, including older history; they do not measure current demand. Customer records use distinct customer identifiers within one suburb, not verified home addresses, and are never summed across suburbs. Checked 14 October 2026.
Google reviews are a separate source, shown as the Melbourne listing reports them, and are never averaged together with our customer feedback. Across all locations: 4.6 / 5 from 9,888 customer feedback ratings; 4.7 / 5 from 781 reviews on our 6 Google listings.
