Saw an ad for Roomster online and gave it a try. Signed up for a 3-day subscription and decided it was not for me but I was very impressed with how easy their site was to navigate and the number of rooms they had listed.

When a friend told me they found a great room share on Roomster I checked it out because I was having trouble finding something affordable through my real estate broker. Amazingly I found a great room that was well within my budget with some really cool people that was in very close proximity to my work, stoked to tell my friends about this site!

In a world inundated with scam listings and whatnot Roomster sets the bar above the competition. Their site is easy to navigate, their subscription rates are affordable, and there is no shortage of quality listings available.

After my son left for college my wife and I used Roomster to rent out his room while he was away. I am not too tech savvy but their site was intuitive and we found a nice young lady to rent the room from us fairly easily. Very pleasant experience.

A friend suggested I try Roomster after I had been looking for roommates for quite some time, I decided to give it a shot and was amazed how great it was. The site was super easy to use, their prices were reasonable and I found two roommates fairly easily without much hassle or headache. Great site!

Roomster made finding a roommate so easy! I just moved into a great place close to school but for the life of me couldn’t find a roommate and it was getting way too time consuming, Roomster was easy to set up and I was able to find someone who met the criteria very easily.

In a world full of scams Roomster was a godsend. I recently moved for work and was looking for a place on Craig's list but every lead turned out to be some type of scam. I hesitantly joined Roomster but that hesitation soon dissipated as I saw what a wonderful service it was. Helped me find exactly what I was looking for without any hassle!
