Alas! The hunt is good and done, and now I can enjoy my new apartment. Roomster has been a great deal of help at finding Sam, my new fabulous roommate! I think my favorite feature has been the zodiac! Being spiritually inclined, astrology is a big part of my day-to-day life, and being a Scorpio, I was hoping to find a roommate with an earth sign, and so I did! Samantha (Taurus) has been so kind and she answered my messages right away, and having all my info already given on my profile, we were totally able to move the process into action quickly, and now it has been almost two weeks since I messaged her and I am all moved in an settled. Check out your potentials zodiacs because the people you live around will affect your day-to-day more than you think!

Roomster is the way to go! Just used it in order to find a new roommate for my loft and couldn't have had a better experience on any other website! The whole process from listing to viewing applications and interviews has been a breeze. My new roommate is so sweet and she also had a good experience with Roomster on her end. ALSO I accidentally forgot to cancel my subscription after finding Jenna, and was charged twice and had to request my money back, which was handled within the hour with no issues! All in all, A+.

When it comes to the roommate game, I am an MVP by now. As anyone moving into NYC should know, roommates come and they go, and so do you. Have been around this block many times before, and it is never fun. Once I got onto Roomster, I never looked elsewhere again. It has everything you need to make finding a roommate/apartment a smoother experience than the headache I used to endure. Have used it twice by now, and will be looking on Roomster Paris once I move there next spring.

When I moved to New York a few years back I was looking vigorously for an apartment so that I could provide some stability for my chinchilla, Chleo, when a friendly stranger on the subway directed me to Roomster.com. I found a sweet roommate within a week, which I shared the space with for a couple of years, and then CAME BACK to look for a new roommate once she moved back to Utah. Have now had 3 different roommates via Roomster.com and will be coming back next year too if my current roommate ends up moving away too.

If you are in the market for a home share this is the site for you, they sort the listings based on your criteria and needs and make it very easy to find something that suits you.

Was looking for a room to rent when I moved for my new job and I looked on Roomster. They had so many rooms to choose from and the site was very simple and convenient, will definitely recommend to friends.

One of the steps for setting up you account is a credit check with an affiliated website that Roomster partners with. I figured 'why not? They're partnered with a major website, they can't be TOO skeevy'. Yeah no, despite this being a 'free' credit check they require you put in your credit card information, as in they were going to pull some 'free after shipping and handling' baloney.

At that point I exited the 'free' credit check without finishing it, I wasn't interested. I immediately got a phone call from a credit agency and over a hundred spam emails from creepy loan websites and credit agencies, all in a 24 hr period.

If Roomster really pushes you to use their credit score system. Don't do it! Ever!

I was impressed with the responsiveness of their customer service and the efficiency of their site. No gimmicks here. Straight up roommate matching. If that’s what you’re looking for this is the place. I created a listing stating I needed a bedroom in a clean, affordable house in a good neighborhood. I ended up finding exactly what I was looking for after some due diligence.

I paid for the subscription because it said I couldn't review all the inquiries for my room for rent. Well after paying, I went thru every message with a response and no hits. I suspect that most of these accounts are fakes and spam bots. I've used craigslist before and have used them again, with 10,000% better response as I have not had one real response using Roomster. Don't waste your money! Craigslist is free and you'll have a better chance renting your room or finding one to rent. The price roomster charges for a month subscription does not justify the quality of service, or the likelihood that you'll find any real leads. Buyer Beware

You don't even need to verify your account on this website to make a review. You simply need the same prepackaged fake review, make a handful of other reviews of the random sites Sitejabber presents you, and click submit! There are plenty of photos of hotel rooms you can use as images off sites such as TripAdvisor. You can also go take random photos off the internet. It's a shame you can use any reverse image search tool to find out they're all fake. Maybe the fake reviewers need to get more creative; the "story" type setup of how horrible their former roommate was gets quite old. Also the "and then I found Roomster" is too. Is Roomster behind this?

Love the continuous scroll feature on the site, easy to read listings and affordable subscription plans, very cool website.

I cannot believe I did not know about this site before! Anybody looking to rent a room or find a roommate needs to know about this site! Super awesome

Emailed renter about an ad on Craigslist, got a request for my phone number. Received a text 3.2 seconds later with a link to roomster. The link made it sound like I had to create a roomster account in order to prove to the renter that I was not a robot. Created an account, and the renter never responded back. Once I had the account I browsed around and messaged some renters about listings. I never received a response. I did, however, receive a few "messages" from "people" requesting to be my roommate in random areas all over my county. The only way to access the messages is to pay a (ridiculously high) fee to roomster. They use bail-and-switch tactics to lure you into an auto-recurring fee for a site that doesn't seem to do a good job at what it sets out to do. Side Note: Look at the responses from the representative from roomster. They are defensive and don't really respond to the allegations of users giving negative reviews. All bad.
