You forced me to pick even ine star is to much considering there's no simple way to find my area on your site

I found my housemate on this platform last December, and we're still going strong almost a year later! Using the website was a great middle man to help me vet prospective roommates in a controlled and safe situation so I never had to share too much. It was quite the relief to be able to vet folks based on the basic info on their profiles and bypass a lot of folks that wouldn't have worked out. Thanks!!

Wast of money and time none of the posted wanted roommates are fake / made-up not real I paid for one month membership access , send a dozen of messages for people listed on the site ,did not even got one respond ....this is a scam site/ Service and should be sued as and taken off the Air.

Useful, awesome

I really wish I could say something positive about this website as the UX is there, but the lack of moderation and attempt to keep users accountable is just appalling. I have only found one genuine renter out of the 100s of results. The rest are either obvious scams with the same "Please interact with me off the site as I am often not on this platform" or people who were allowed on the platform with very little verification or no activity in months.

Roommates.com is about as safe as craigslist. And if you run into a scam artist on roommates.com, they will protect the scam artist. They will be incredibly obstructive in anything you or the police try to do. Strongly recommend avoiding this website. It is not safe. And the people who run the website will do nothing to make it safer or assist in criminal investigations.

They charge you to send messages to other people. I paid for a one month subscription and got zero inquiries. I used Roomies.com instead and were able to find three of my current tenants on there. Please don't waste your money on a subscription at Roommates.com! I think some of the accounts are also fake.

DO NOT pay for a 60 day membership, it's not worth it. I had signed up early January (2021) and paid $3 to verify my identity (optional), then paid $30 for a 60-day upgrade to read full profiles and messages. I wish I checked the reviews here first. There weren't enough "perfect matches" available although I live in a large urban city and the room was low rent. I messaged two women and one didn't respond, the other didn't even sign into her account to read it. The women who messaged me tried to get me to email or text them off-site right away and it felt scammy or like they were fake profiles. I also had men message me when my profile said I wanted one female roommate. I ended up finding a roommate from Craigslist on January 19th, so I messaged roommates.com to ask for a refund for February. But they gave a short response and of course my money. It is just bad business to charge for a service that will not be used.
