I was looking to rent a room in my place so I registered with roomates.com
Come to find out that I cant read messages if I don't have a membership. So I buy the two months membership only to wait weeks with no response. I have reached to 200 people and I got only two responses that they weren't interested. I believe most of the people don't reply because they don't have a membership. So I emailed them and asked to connect me to VIP members to the one that can communicate/answer my messages. They said they couldn't do that... so here I am wasting hours reaching out to people that don't have a paid membership. It's a waste of time.

Hello,

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.

We know it can be frustrating if you aren't getting responses, but Roommates.com is a bulletin board service and some areas have more prospects than others.

We hope you have better luck finding a roommate soon.

If you would like additional tips on how to utilize your profile to the fullest you can contact us at support@roommates.com.

“Do not use this site. Other sites are FREE. It's just a way to catch more people to pay and it's expensive. $16/mo or $30/60 days! Then the other party needs to pay the same to connect -> no way to have real connections.”
