I had two good roommates from roomates.com. People complain about fee did not read the terms and conditions. I had the worst roommates from sites that are free. Great website.
I wanted to save money and simplify my life. I needed a Roommate. Roommates.com made it possible for me. It was easy, effective and worth it. Thanks to Roomates.com
I was a little confused on the first posting, so here goes. My first experience with Roommates.com was excellent. My first roommate was very decent and there weren't any problems. He simply got married, so I listed my profile, yet again. This man sent me emails and we first corresponded and then he wanted my phone number, which I felt was safe. He began to call me two and three times a day, asking me numerous questions about my political beliefs, etc. He was very pushy and wanted my address, but I felt a neutral place of meeting was safer. We met for dinner and just seemed odd. All along he had told me, he could afford the rental room. I decided to show him the room and once inside the house he tried to kiss me and he made it very clear that he wanted sex. I threatened to call the police and he left. Also, I received a phone call and I caught him trying to turn on my computer. I immediately sent an email to Roommates.com and I reported him to Roommates.com. After all of this, he was still listed. I couldn't believe it. Now, I will only deal with the newspapers. I feel it is safer.
WOW! Your Web Site is truly AMAZING! Found a Roommate in JUST 3 day's. My wife and I are grateful to you. Not did we just find a roommate, we also found a new friend. Thank you!
Hi guys, I know there has been a bad rep for the site, but I tried the 3 day and adamantly will be checking on it to make sure I only get charged the one time fee. (email *******@roommates.com) But unless you pay it wont benefit you, I have only been on for 2 days and everything I have checked into was legit and real in Jax, FL. The people were real, we texted, sent pics, I think I have found the best place. Will find out more tomorrow, but I prefer this even over craigslist. But in order for it work the person you email also has to be paying to use the service, otherwise I dont think they see your description either posted at the end of the bio. And of course cant email messages. I got phone numbers with local numbers. I did get a few from craigs list asking me to go to roommatenext.com (not roommates.com) to get on with the inquiry of the room, but from other reviews I ignored them and went on with my day(they were not local phone numbers that texted me). The key to all of this is people have to pay to see the facts, but you get what you pay for. Customer service treated me really good. If you really need to verify email/contact me I am impressed, I didnt have any hopes at all but was so blessed. The key is everyone does have to pay for the service and I am on the 3 day trail. Hope this helps and again so pleasantly surprised!

You can't read any messages you get without paying them a fee. Forget that folks, save your money. I'm going back to good ol' Craigslist.
Hello,
We have designed our site so you are able to utilize the website without purchasing a membership and many of our users have successfully found roommates this way. The most common ways for people do to so is to send contact information within emails to other users and/or post contact information within profile descriptions for other users to see. So while it is true that without having a paid membership you do not have the benefit of being able to read emails that you receive through our site, you do still have the opportunity to achieve your goals while utilizing the free portions of the site.
As with most websites, there are added benefits to purchasing an upgrade. Those benefits include having full access to your roommates.com emails as well as being able to view larger photos, maps, and the comment sections of other member's profiles. Purchasing an upgraded membership can be done at any time. Many individuals who utilize Roommates.com wait to purchase an upgrade until they have several emails waiting for them. This way, they fully maximize their upgrade.
If you have any questions on how to utilize the website and/or make the most out of your membership, please let me know. We will be happy to provide you with additional tips on using Roommates.com at support@roommates.com.

Even after adding my preferences, I'm getting matches in different cities. And they expect me to pay to read some of the messages.
Hello,
Your matches will be within the radius that you chose around your main city, so depending on how big of a radius you chose there may be additional cities within your radius. Paying for a membership does allow you to read incoming messages from other members, but you can send messages to other members for free and include your contact information if you would like, so at least one of you would need to pay for a membership in order to communicate outside of the website.
Hopefully you are having some luck finding a roommate. If you have additional questions please contact us at support@roommates.com.

I found a high quality of people that responded. The customer service is also very good. I would recommend this site.
Definitely was happy with my experience on roommates.com. Very helpful resource when you're in an area that's unfamiliar. Definitely recommend it!
The process was pretty painless and the daily matches gave me plenty of people to contact. Found a roommate yesterday!
A total scam. I paid $10. And did not receive a real person. Where do you find good roommates nowadays?!?!?!
