I just came to look a little for future reference at the moment. The search process seemed a little awkward at first but eventually I got used to it. I didn't spend a lot of time because I was just testing the waters at the moment.
Roomies will ban your account for no reason. I have subscribed 3 times and verified with a legit phone number and immediately get banned. I am doing nothing wrong but messaging prospective roommates and follow all the rules. Message tech, get zero support. I guess this is a way of them hoping youll pay in order to use their site
Absolutely do not pay. Its supposed to be free but whats the point if you get banned for no reason.
The website is straightforward to use and facilitates communication between potential roommates. The user interface is friendly and the information displayed is concise.
Easy to use. Found one of my great roommates here. The platform helps to connect potential roommates as well as renters.
Just the simple fact that this website is free to post a room and have the option to add other features for a minor cost is great!
This home is located in Conyers. The lady in charge has issues and a lot of rules. You can't have guest but once a week. They're cameras all over the place except in your room and bathroom. She watches and monitors your every move 24/7. Parking is terrible because you basically park on the side of a hill and there in no sufficient space if you have a big truck. You can't really use the washer and dryer if you have large loads and have limited space in the fridge. You can't use her oven or stove.
Was skeptical of Roomies, but it really weird. Found a great space in a safe neighborhood and Roomies made it easy and convenient. Whether really fast too!
I'm 74 years old and I cannot figure out how to use this site. I need to be out of here by March 31st.
I've used roomies 3 times each time with success. I find professional roommates within days of putting up an ad. Only site I use.
Twice now I have found the place of my dreams using Roomies. And get this. Each time it gets better and better.
This site is not well maintained. Most of the listings are no longer available. It is very frustrating to try to use these listings.
I was going to rent a room. The person request an $850 to hold the room after I decided it wasn't a good fit the person became extremely rude, and refuse to return my funds. I am now in the process of filing a lawsuit for my money and additional fees
You need to make a subscription to view messages - I think it's $12 one time and $30 monthly ongoing.
Regardless of that I was scammed on the very first offer.
Other offers were presented in misleading manner.
Stay careful or stay away!
I have used Roomies twice successfully. I get good responses on the site. However there are scammers on the site using fake identities.
Roomies was helpful but can improve in some ways:
- Allow users to select multiple filters in a category (ex. Be able to select both females preferred and anyone welcome)
- Option to delete listing / search for roommate without deleting profile, I think this can be a cause of people not responding which can be very frustrating
- Option to share videos/pictures in the chat to see room or share other info that is shared better visually
- Option to create groupchats on roomies
I was extremely impressed with the level of professionalism and overall quality of the site. The design was user-friendly, making it easy to search for potential roommates and connect with them through the platform.
The website also had a variety of helpful features, such as a roommate matching algorithm. This helped me find a compatible roommate in a short amount of time. I appreciate the effort that went into creating such a comprehensive and helpful resource.
Additionally, the customer service team is responsive and helpful. Overall, I highly recommend roomies to anyone looking for a professional and reliable way to find a new roommate. It made the process so much easier and stress-free, and I am grateful for the service this page provides.
Outstanding no questions asked. 2nd to none pleasant service. Food is wonderful, upscale place for dinner. R.D The manager, deserves to be the mgr. Heaven was very pleasant and true waitress. Definitely recommend this place for high class food.
I've used Roomies.com to find 3 roommates in the past 3 years…all my applicants have been extraordinary, quality people. Easiest site to use, with high visibility and great responses. Thank you Roomies.com!
Hello reader. Welcome to Roomies. The best site to find a room mate or rent your space. Amazing people on this site. Easy website to navigate, create a listing and search for the right candidate. Great feedback from the site also. Will always use this site as my 'go to' when I rent. Thank you Roomies.
Literally tried everything to find two roommates: Facebook, College Site, Craigslist, Couchsurfer, word of mouth, and nothing worked to find the roommate I was looking for (young woman about my same age). Two weeks on Roomies and I have two amazing roommates!
Answer: Legit. It does offer a place for roommates to find someone to share an apartment or a house
Answer: Hi Kathleen, Credit checks are generally completed within 24 hours. Background checks can vary depending on the county courthouse. Some users experience a faster turnaround, and others may experience longer delays. Most do receive their results within 3-5 days. Hope this helps, The Roomies Team
Answer: Hi Kathleen, Thank you for your inquiry. There are two ways users can initiate background checks. Option 1. A person can purchase the check and assign it to a potential roommate. The potential roommate can then submit their information and they will both receive the report once completed. Option 2. The person completing the background check can purchase and submit their info. (This can be either the person posting a room or a potential renter). Once the check is completed, they can share the report with others. At the moment, our credit checks can only be initiated by the person who wants to complete them. Keep in mind that some potential renters may also request that the person renting a room have a credit check or background check completed if they will be living in the home. I hope this answers your question. If you require further assistance, please do not hesitate to contact our support team via email at hello@roomies.com. All the best, The Roomies Team
Answer: I was on a lot of different rooms for rent apartments for rent a lot of different apps. It's super frustrating roomies was really easy to use it was user friendly. Just put in what you're looking for and it will bring up matches for you at the same time you do have to be careful cuz sometimes there's scam artists out there
Answer: Nothing, in fact I used it in conjunction with other sites to further broaden my search for a place to stay. And although I didn't find it through Roomies in the end, I still had a pleasant experience—and made some new friends along the way!
Hi Jakob
You must have confused the Roomies.com with another website. Roomies is free to use and does not have a paywall or any subscription or ongoing payments. We have options to feature your listing but those are not $12 are completely optional so I think it is a case of mistaken identity.
Sorry you had a bad online experience on another website.
