This site allows you to search for people who have a room or are looking for a room. I found a great international student who is now staying with me. I'm looking for another roommate and have some good prospects. Thank you for the free website that is such a good resource for me. 5 stars!

Awesome
October 27, 2022

Was given 8 days to find a place to stay with my large sized dog and i stumbled upon roomies just in time! I'm a 19 year old female and I called every single homeless and violence shelter in the state and not one would take me. The system is awful. I was at a loss and was convinced i'd have to throw away all my belongings and just walk down the street with my dog hoping for a blessing. I have roomies to thank for me not being on the street with my dog. This is an amazing place to go if you need help with rent or need a place to stay. 10/10 recommend

My daughter rented a room from this woman. She broke into her room several times while she was doing her internship. Doors were left open, camera was installed to stop her. Stole mail from her boyfriend and behave strangely odd. Do not rent with this woman, she is moving to another apartment; RENTERS BEWARE!

Nothing but scammers!
February 12, 2019

I have tried to find a roommate on this site. I have 6 emails in my inbox saying every person I have talked to is a scammer. I have tried to contact support several times with absolutely no response from them at all.

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 is an awesome alternative to Craigslist and NextDoor.
While I did not find a renter through Roomies.com, it was a good find and I enjoyed the people and conversations that I had with potential renters.
Seemed like I had to reach out more often to invite looks at my ad than I had enquiries which was surprising. But I enjoyed the experience and chatting with interviewers. Thank you. I will keep Roomies in mind for the future.

An excellent program for finding a roomie. Once I caught on it was easy to check in with potential roomies who were interested in my bedrrom for rent. I contacted several through this safe site and finally chose one.

Finding Roomate
January 10, 2023

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

My daughter used roomies.com to find a room and had an absolutely traumatizing experience! Her landlord ended up being a nightmare and their ad was completely misleading. When she reported the landlord's behavior, the customer service ignored her and behaved as though my daughter was inconveniencing them! They have continued allowing the landlord to keep their ad up. Terrifying when you realize any scammers or abusive landlords are not only allowed, but supported and encouraged by roomies.com to continue to prey on trusting renters.

Warning
March 4, 2022

I am not saying that roomies is a bad company. I am saying that one of the people running a room on there is a real weirdo! If you happen to go on this website and come across a listing by John Wagner do not do it! Unless of course you want somebody coming in your room whenever they want to harassing you and making your life miserable! He has it listed under Leo and Remi's room so be very careful!

Roomies.com is a legitimate source for finding housemates. There are others with similar names that cost money and you're never able to connect with others until you actually pay. Roomies.com is free and is my best source over the years to connect my place with quality housemates.

Fabricated profiles?
April 18, 2020

Lots of profiles but they don't seem to be real people. I talked to one person who spoke Filipino and then disappeared. Dubious website if you're looking for room or roomate.
