Loaded my pics. Wrote some descriptive language and my place was rented in 36 hours. Quality, in an era of mediocrity, shine through all the time.

Stick with Craigslist
October 11, 2024

The site is old & outdated.
People hardly respond, nor do many remove their listing once they no longer need a service.
Stick with a paid service or CL.

Don't waste your time
September 19, 2024

Roomies got a lot of fake and scammers on their platform. They don't tell the truth at all. It's better to get what you want from either friend and family or realtor. Don't waste your time here

You never know how accurate or honest someone may be. Most recently met with a potential roommate in person, and was told the room was not available. They could have told me this in an email, instead of using up half my day with travel time. Also recently, I found what looked like a good roommate match, but they never replied, so why did they even list the room for? Thanks for letting me review.

While this site does make finding a roommate or room to rent super easy, it's also a super easy way to be scammed. I decided to rent from an individual on this app and I thought everything was fine. Come to find out a few months later that the person on this site was subletting and the owner of the home had no idea. So then I was kicked out, never got my deposit back and they never reimbursed for the remaining money from my unused month. That person is still up on this website too. On top of all that the roommates were absolutely dirty and never cleaned up after themselves. Half the time there were moldy dishes in the sink, the bathroom was disgusting and the house was nasty. I was the only one who ever cleaned up. It's too much of a gamble finding people on this website.

This site is a joke not one person on the site who offering an available room ever responds to messages they either just ignore your messages or Block the post from being seen again.Im seriously in need a place soon and if you in the same position as me don't bother with this site you'll just be missing out on an opportunity somewhere else.

It was good we found connection with each other. Thanks for providing this awesome platform. It would be nice if Roomies have features to help confirming or proofing a tenant is a quality tenant and may vice versa too.

Easy to sign up and get an account setup. I liked that I didn't really need to do too much, but of course it is great that it verifies you. Able to search and either team up or find a room.

Within a 120-minute window of submitting my first room request, I obtained both a response and phone call from my host. Our connection was instantaneous. I paid a visit to her, she gave me a tour, and I left a deposit. In two weeks, I will move in. Our compatibility was unmatched.

Continual breakins and trespassing onto property by houseless and criminals. Landlord ignores safety issues and deletes relevant clips of trespassing on his security cams to avoid liability. Cops called. Dangerous conditions in house made me end up in ER. Got termination notice after I was injured on the property due to unsafe living conditions. Avoid this place, you will get hurt or killed.
