Better luck with paying sites You need a place to leave reviews besides facebook. Not only to warn people of potential crappy landlords and/or tenants but to also rate the good ones. Not everyone has Facebook. Found my new place on a completely different site and hoping to never use Roomies again.

Overall it was a great free site Overall it was a great free site. One big downside is no map view, but I also know there's additional expense to calling a map API and complications around that, but some kind of neighborhood filter would make it much easier to find people and rooms.

Love this company Love this company. It's free!! Everything Is laid out very easily and I had no problems with my communications with people searching for a place to rent

I posted on Roomies for a month plus While I felt safe on roomies, I noticed many ads with no photos at all. I was on Roomies for almost a month where there are few options for older people. What I means is I looked every day and 95% of the ads specified younger ages. I know this isn't the fault of the roomies.com site however I think better marketing techniques would draw older people. I didn't know about Roomies until I found it through a Google search. Yesterday (April 22) I sent an inquiry to a renter and never got a response, my timeline is very time sensitive, renters should be required to.respond to all legitimate inquiries. Fortunately I had ads on other sites and found my rental elsewhere.

Roomies was a fantastic service to use… Roomies was a fantastic service to use when I was looking for a room in a sharehouse. It was free to use, I entered my preferences (rent price, location, etc.) and a few details about myself. Within a couple days I had a message from an individual looking to fill a room in her place, turned out we were in the same uni program, and have a lot in common (because she was also choosing me based on a detailed profile). Roomies was the best platform to be able to have these initial interactions! I love it.
