The company, Roomster, exhibits a polarized reputation among its users. Positive feedback highlights the platform's user-friendly interface and a variety of affordable listings, with some customers successfully finding suitable rooms. However, significant concerns overshadow these strengths, including deceptive practices regarding message visibility, a lack of genuine leads, and inadequate customer support. Many users express frustration over payment models that feel exploitative, alongside reports of scams and unresponsive service. Overall, while some appreciate the platform's potential, the prevailing sentiment suggests a need for improved transparency and customer care to enhance user trust and satisfaction.

Constant barrage of people who are nowhere near the location, or the available date, or the rental cost.
Overall a great interface but making people pay in order to message one another is truly a low ball move.
Having to pay to see message when you're trying to find a home is ultimately $#*!ty
The reason why I gave a one star is because this company charges fees to even look at your mail, but don't regulate all the scammers. Ppl tried to scam me multiple times on here. Even when I thought a person was legit because they sent a copy of their license and information, wanted $1400 and claimed to be a Dr. I called the real Dr's office and spoke with him, it was a scam and the lady stole his ID and been using it to scam ppl. I don't recommend this company.
Muito boa, mas o fato de pagar para mandar msg achei meio estranho.
Very good so far. Let's see how it goes. I've been on other sites that are a pain
None of my messages are being sent. Even after sub.
Super-scammy setup. Only shows two people in my area but my email is flooded with "messages" which I have to pay to see, but turn out to be nothing more than people shouting in to the wind, not actually messages for me.
Failing to notify new users that no communication is possible without paying is deceptive.
I don't like the fact that you charge somebody to read your messages before they even try the service, and And I'll let the fact be known across the Internet
Avoid at all costs. You have to pay to join, you have to pay to have your identity "verified", and you have to pay if you want to communicate with anyone else on the site. You're going to have to communicate with others on the site if you want to rent a room. Is that not true? So, the "free" site isn't free at all. It's a scam, going after the low-hanging fruit. That's you, if you make the mistake of joining.
Trick you to pay for their 5 day trial when you just purchased the cheapest one for 7.95 (I think). Cant see or send messages if you dont pay. Its a stupid scam site. If you complain to them on their chat (there is no phone #), they refund you half of something you didnt sign up for.
Need filter for sexual orientation option. 420, vaping, usage should be included under smoking options, as cigarette, vaping and 420 are all different.
Wish I saw the options before paying or at least know the place options and just wouldn't be able to respond unless I paid but I paid anyway!
Ok. I really think I should try it before I rate it

Answer: These are untrue statements. We have asked our many satisfied customers to post their positive experiences about Roomster to counteract the negative, and mostly untrue statements posted about us. If you notice that Sitejabber has negative reviews of almost every company doing business in the united states. If it was all true, there would be no business left and everyone would be out of work. People never write good reviews, people love to be negative. Its sad.
Answer: Hi Aminah, Roomster did not post that ad on Craigslist, we did not create that link and there fore we can not offer support for it. This looks to be one of our affiliates, who should not be doing this. We will be removing this person from our affiliate program. Thank you for bringing this to our attention.
Answer: That makes little to no sense. Undeleted? What does that even mean? N you want to create an account after you deleted it? Go ahead.
