I don't give five star reviews very often. I am quite picky, especially when it comes to cleaning. These folks deserve all five stars. First and foremost, the cleaning is superb. I have used other cleaners and it was "meh, I could have done that." The first time Brilliant Star came, the house was absolutely immaculate. They spent a lot of time here. Subsequent cleanings have been excellent as well. Communication is also top-notch. They are responsive and quickly adapt to suggestions. They make sure you review everything and fix things that need it. They also remember and review suggestions from previous visits. They are more expensive than others but worth every penny, definitely "concierge" cleaners. I am glad I used them. read more

First time they came- amazing and efficient. Second round not so good, barely touched the kitchen and had finish it up. I think they might not have planned their time well- and I had to pay extra to just wrap it up. read more

Unbelievable service! Liz and her staff do a fabulous job! Bolen leads the 2 person team cleaning our large home thoroughly within the time specified. They are mindful of my 86 year old mother - making sure they don't disturb her during nap time and do a great job cleaning window sills, corners, wooden shutters and even areas I would miss doing it all myself! Thank you YELP community for your high remarks. And big thanks to Brilliant Star Cleaning Service ! read more

I contacted Brilliant Star Cleaning because I needed a quote for a move out cleaning. 2 stars for the prompt response from the manager. I usually just do research on Yelp for what I need. This is the first time I am writing a review so feel free to message me if it gets filtered. Just 2 stars because this company states they have a business license. I looked online because I work for the state and there is no record of this company having a business license in San Diego. See the photos/screenshots attached. This isn't the fault of the manager, just the owner. Hopefully, they will fix this. Unfortunately, I can't do business with this company that misrepresents things. read more

What can I say except for WOW!!! I have had my home professionally cleaned for decades, multiple days a week and like things spotless. But, when you have four boys (counting the husband) and working FT, things really can get away from you. We often stay at a friends beach condo in Mission Beach for a month at a time and I have made it my business to find them the very best cleaning company as possible and after a few misses, I came across Brilliant Star Cleaning Service! I started speaking with Liz and worked out the rate, which is quite fair, and what needed to be done, requesting a "deep clean" on their first visit and then what they should expect moving forward with our friends and how to leave the condo when new arrivals come and go. Liz sent me a crew of very hard working and skilled cleaners that really know how to clean and made the place look perfect. Everything put away and tidied up, they organized the cabinets, refrigerator and followed instructions to a "T" throughout. They arrived 15 minutes early with a form that detailed the service we would receive, allowed me to add specifics, which they prioritized and walked the space to go over everything. They brought their own professional cleaning supplies and worked non-stop. The condo has 3 floors and they just knocked it out of the park! I couldn't be happier or more impressed by the work and effort put into the job. There was ongoing communication with Liz as her team worked and needed to spend extra time as again, it was a deep clean that included patios, walls, windows, shutters, ceiling fans, appliances, white tiled bathrooms with sand in the grout, turning beds with new sheets and keeping the laundry going and more. I HIGHLY recommend Brilliant Star, Liz and her amazing team and will absolutely be using them for all of my cleaning needs in the future when we stay in the area and pass them along to our friends and anyone I know that is looking for the best at a very fair rate. read more

I have used Briliant Star on several occasions and they always do an excellent job. Everything is clean and dust free before they leave. The team arrives promptly at the agreed upon time and they are smiling and cheerful. The office is easy to get hold of and responds to inquiries quickly, generally within minutes. They take note of special requirements (I live in a condo so no vacuuming before 8 a.m. for example), so I don't have to repeat it every time. I highly recommend Brilliant Star. . read more

Sometimes a little time goes by and you realize you have not commented on wonderful service. I've been a monthly service customer of Brilliant Star cleaning (Balen) for many years - and have always experienced a very thorough and expert cleaning. I've recommended her to others - with the same result! They are great to work with too when scheduling and are good communicators. read more

Hired for a deep cleaning service and my expectations were exceeded! Everything was safe and clean. I felt like I was walking into a new home. Highly recommend! read more

Jumping up and down HAPPY! have used other companies before but none as easy as this one. Communication, 5 star..reminders, arrival times etc...Cleaning, 5 stars!!!! I chose to run errands while Gaby and Vanessa were there...came back and my stove under top[ was being cleaned while the other was wiping inside of the refrigerator...Hadn't asked for either but was so happy that they went that far and deep with their cleaning...Everything that I had specified was done and more, from blinds to base boards.. Thank you for the great service read more

Liz, Belen, and the entire Brilliant Star Cleaning have been amazing to work with. They're punctual, detail oriented, and above all just good, kind people. I work from home and so interact with the team nearly every time they come. They're always friendly, polite and accommodating to any/all of our requests. Whenever we're out of town or have scheduling conflicts, the team is happy to adjust and work with our schedule. On the very rare occasion that something isn't done to our standards, they go above and beyond to make sure it's taken care of - sending someone out to make it right - and making sure things are improved moving forward. We've used Brilliant Star for years and love them. We recommend them to everyone we know! read more

Can I leave 10 stars? Belen and her crew are WONDERFUL!!! I can't say enough! If you are browsing Yelp for a reliable, friendly, respectful cleaning crew, these amazing ladies will get the job done! I came home today from a busy days work and could sit down and just relax, I didn't have to do a thing, they made my home so perfect, it looked like something out of a magazine. I am so grateful to have found the best hidden gem in San Diego! Pure perfection! read more

This is my second review of Brilliant Star Cleaning. ANOTHER 5 Stars. Nine months later and they are still the best. Most cleaning services start to drop off after a while, but not this one. Belen and Liz (the owners) hit this out of the park. Faby and Brenda are not only exceptionally conscientious, but they are people you WANT in your home or workplace because they bring an extra touch of caring about how YOU are going to use it. I call them my "House Fairies" because it's like magic when they are done. I had Faby and Brenda help me clean out my garage - years of accumulated junk (you know how it is) and I thought it was going to be hard and complicated. Nope! They are extremely organized, have an excellent sense of orderliness, and are just a delight to work with. If there was a sixth star they'd get it. read more

Fast, clean, professional, just perfect for what I needed in my house since I am unable to clean right now. Everything is spotless! I will be using them again for sure! Hopefully once a month! read more

I was hesitant to spend money on a cleaning service, my inner critic telling me I should just do it myself. Okay, screw that!! I started using Brillant Star a month ago and I could not be more happy with their incredible service!! They are super efficient. Fast, yet detail oriented. I can't express how beneficial it is for my mental health to get my apartment cleaned once a month. Totally professional and personable. Thank you so much!! read more

Don't bother contacting them. They won't be helpful. I asked for a quote and she texted saying she was booked until December. I told her great, I don't need the cleaning until December 8th. She replied back saying she was booked Fridays. She never offered an alternative date and left it at that. I told her I felt it was unprofessional to not at least call me to discuss or offer me an alternative date that could work. So yes, she did eventually offer me a quote but not exactly looking to give my money to someone who doesn't want it. read more

I was blown away with how efficient and amazing job Belen, Zurhy and Graciela did! I have dogs and a two year old and my house hasn't looked this spotless in a while. I love how they make sure to clean all the hard areas to reach like blinds, corners, windows, toaster and stovetop. Would recommend to anyone who is looking for a team who does an incredible job! Thank you so much Brilliant Star Cleaning! read more

I have been using Brilliant Star Cleaning for years and could not say enough good things about them. They do a great job cleaning but more importantly the customer service is off the charts! I would never use anyone else. read more

Still going strong. This company has new management and in no way has the quality of work declined. My house is impeccably clean without asking for extra detail. The ladies they send go above and beyond when doing housework. They continue to be top notch when it comes to timeliness and staying for allotted time. Love my cleaning crew! Patti is running things like a well-oiled machine. A++! read more

2 hours, 2 ladies, pure magic. Checked everything off my list, was mindful of my newborn, and I felt my belongings were respected. I highly suggest this service to any new parent looking to take a load off. read more

I looked under the bed after they had been coming for a few months because I couldn't find something. I was shocked to find my gym bottoms and that the ladies had never cleaned there. I complained - hoping they would improve - and then they quit. BAD customer service and high prices. read more

Although Ofre has been with me for five years, and has done a great job most of the time, recently as she has added more people to her team, the service has not been as professional or consistent. Unfortunately I have to look for another cleaning team to service my home. read more

Belen has been cleaning my home for years. She's very friendly, trustworthy, and good at what she does. She uses baby-safe and pet-safe cleaning chemicals and is always professional. Plus, very affordable! read more

I have used Brilliant Star three times in the past two months and I can not say enough about how incredible they are. Belen and her assistants are very professional and very PUNCTUAL. I used their services to clean my girlfriends' house after she moved, then I used them to clean my house after I moved, and then I called on them to clean the house that my girlfriend and I moved into. We could not believe the level of cleanliness and detailed cleaning that they conducted. This company goes above and beyond and they have great communication as well! Extremely recommend Brilliant Star for ALL your cleaning needs! read more

Absolutely amazing job absolutely amazing that's all I can say my house now looks like a home again and I am able to walk through the house without stepping on kids toys Marvel's excetera excetera thank you so much highly recommended read more

Brilliant Star Cleaning is the best house cleaning service I've ever used! We have used their services for over 5 years. Belen is like family to us, she is super friendly, trustworthy, does superior cleaning of our home, very detailed and we couldn't live without her. Thank you again for all you do for us! read more

These ladies have cleaned our home regularly for over a year. It can be challenging to find a cleaner who leaves you happy with every aspect of the service, since cleaning a home is so personal. On balance we have been very happy with Brilliant Star. They are honest, communicate well, show up on time, work hard while they are in the house, and the house meets our standards when we come home. Looking forward to many more years to come. read more

Belen and assistants always do an excellent job. They always show up when scheduled, and have never cancelled. Belen cleaned by herself one time when her assistant was sick. They are reasonably priced. Usually 2-3 people come and it takes about 3 hours to clean my 2500 sq. ft. house. They are thorough and my place looks great when they leave. Too bad it doesn't stay that way!! read more

Been using Belen for months now and I couldn't be happier! She usually comes with a helper and they get a ton done in a few hours. I trust her 100% and I am now rarely home when they are there. I finally have time to run errands! They are always very polite and on time. You won't be disappointed! read more

EXCELLENT, DILIGENT, METICULOUS, TRUSTWORTHY & AFFORDABLE. Belen, the owner and Liz the office manager both show deep regard for their customers and the quality in their work shows that. I was really happy to find a company that would come out and give me an estimate. Most other companies would only give me a high hourly rate and a guesstimate of how long they think it might take, which I didn't like. Prior to your cleaning appointment Liz will send you a text to ask if you have any specific concerns that need attention. That was a plus for me as well. I had a good feeling about Belen when she came out to give me an estimate and I was right. She will take her time to be sure things are cleaned properly rather than rush through it. She even cleaned things I didn't think was expected of her. You have to try this company, they will not let you down. THANK YOU BELEN & LIZ. Great experience for me!!! read more

Belen and her crew came on time as appointed and did a stellar job. I really appreciate how Liz and Belen showed integrity by caring about my yelp rating and initial concerns. Their follow up and the fact that they came out to clean on Christmas Eve showed they are true professionals. I would fully recommend their cleaning services. read more

Excellent, punctual, flexible, efficient. I would highly recommend them! They text a remainder the day before and respond quickly if you need to reschedule, etc. I have no problem leaving them in my home alone. read more

Definitely would recommend this company for home cleaning. They do you the pleasure of sending over someone before your cleaning appointment to give a price estimate. Even though the cleaning took longer than expected, they still honored the estimate given which was a very affordable rate. They sent two ladies, both of which were very nice and introduced themselves right from the very beginning. Also very friendly with my dog, My house is spotless and I am happy. I would use this company again for a home cleaning or deep cleaning. read more

I just had my home cleaned this morning by Fabi. I'm truly amazed by how clean my house is right now. She paid great attention to detail. She even cleaned the oven it sparkles! This is the best house cleaning service I have ever used read more

I really enjoyed having this service, the two girls did a great job and I will definitely have them back! Fingers crossed this will be my good to house cleaners for the time being!! read more

By far, the best cleaning company we have had. Belen and her team are hard-working, detailed, efficient and kind. They are very professional and always do excellent work. read more

We have been using Brilliant Star for several months now and could not be happier. Belen and usually Evelyn come once a month for two hours and always do a thorough and professional job. There's the usual stuff (vacuum, clean bathrooms, etc) and then they ask every time if there is anything in particular that we want them to pay attention to. We get a text reminder the day before each visit, and another when the ladies are on their way to the house. We recommend them highly! read more

We used Brilliant Star Cleaning to get our house cleaned before the holidays last year. Two wonderful ladies came and made our house look spotless! They did such a thorough job! We were very impressed with this company and they really paid great attention to detail. We got so many compliments during out Thanksgiving party about how sparkling our home looked. We will use them again in the future, and will recommend to others! Thanks so much for your fabulous services! read more

I have tried many cleaning services and Brilliant Star is by far and above the absolute best. Belen and Evelyn do an impeccable job every single time. They are incredibly hard working and detail oriented. I have a very hairy/messy dog and a husband who ruins the kitchen on a regular basis - the work these ladies do can only be classified as magic. read more

I hired Brilliant Star for a deep cleaning, and now I have my townhouse cleaned about very two weeks. I am really pleased so far with their service and attention to detail. They charge reasonable rates, unlike some of the other cleaning services out there. read more

We have been using Brilliant Star for a few months now, every other week. Brenda and Amalia do an amazing job and are really nice ladies. I work from home and am here when they come by and they work fast and efficiently and everything looks great! My boyfriend and I have used other companies, but everything with Brilliant Star has been top notch. We have great communication with the owner and receive emails with our appointment reminders. There are a lot of cleaning companies out there, but Brilliant Star is definitely committed to doing a great job every time with reasonable prices. read more
