This website is the reason why I met my current roommate. Its true of all roommate websites that people will ghost you or not reach out. That says more about how other people are than the actual website. I'm not sure how the verification works, but with the basic account I was able to find people who were willing to live with me. Unfortunately, scammers exist everywhere you look for this time of thing, but the website itself worked out well for me.
Don't go for Verification or document verification with Roomies because only they will loot your money & they will say roomies have chosen to cancel your request, without any reason. Moreover, they don't even have customer support so eventually, you will end up with nothing but losing money. I spend money twice but no results. Go to any local agency for a background check or even for finding a room.
And yes, they'll say write us an email but GOD knows in which decade they'll respond.
Bull$#*! site, no one on there is real, wasted money on their ID verification, and background checks with no positive outcome. I do not recommend.
I've found all of my roommates on roomies in the last 5 years. I love this site, it's alway a HIT and this time we believe we've found the missing piece of our puzzle.
Fabricated profiles of landlords and roommates here. No one is real her. One roommate ( Female) reach me to check my flat, I found her very suspicious and nontruthful, couldn't consider her as a tenant. It haunted me when i noticed same girl after few days stalking me with two more guys. After that I immediately deleted my account from this site. Huh
I signed up for roomies.com on Thursday & by Friday I was getting sketchy phone calls. I immediately deleted my account. Don't use this site, they may be selling information.
Difficulty in login, always error messages comes. Only scammer approach you on this site. No customer support, no way to contact roomies... nobody answer your emails...
It's all a hoax. All the so call people do is ghost you. Don't bother wasting your time on this fake site. You will be better off going on FB.
I honestly don't know where to begin. I've been looking for a roommate for the past month on here. Out of the replies that I get, once I try to access them by phone off the website they go MIA it's so weird! I ended up finding a roommate off Facebook! I had someone reach out to me and worked out her move in date around early June. Then once it was time to exchange phone numbers, she wouldn't reply. I began trying to directly reach them by phone or reverse google them on linked in and such. I think they are all fake profiles honestly don't waste your time!
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.
Lady renting a room was a scammer. She had two AGRESSIVE PIT BULLS AND WAS A HOARDER. She rented a room in dump of trailer. A real DUMP! Shame and her and "buyer beware" on roomies.com. SHAMEFUL. The women totally misrepresented herself and her property.
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!
Nothing but scammers. Thanks for wasting my time. My first ten were all scammers. No one legit has even contacted me.
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.
Answer: Legit. It does offer a place for roommates to find someone to share an apartment or a house
Answer: Hi Kathleen, Credit checks are generally completed within 24 hours. Background checks can vary depending on the county courthouse. Some users experience a faster turnaround, and others may experience longer delays. Most do receive their results within 3-5 days. Hope this helps, The Roomies Team
Answer: Hi Kathleen, Thank you for your inquiry. There are two ways users can initiate background checks. Option 1. A person can purchase the check and assign it to a potential roommate. The potential roommate can then submit their information and they will both receive the report once completed. Option 2. The person completing the background check can purchase and submit their info. (This can be either the person posting a room or a potential renter). Once the check is completed, they can share the report with others. At the moment, our credit checks can only be initiated by the person who wants to complete them. Keep in mind that some potential renters may also request that the person renting a room have a credit check or background check completed if they will be living in the home. I hope this answers your question. If you require further assistance, please do not hesitate to contact our support team via email at hello@roomies.com. All the best, The Roomies Team
Answer: I was on a lot of different rooms for rent apartments for rent a lot of different apps. It's super frustrating roomies was really easy to use it was user friendly. Just put in what you're looking for and it will bring up matches for you at the same time you do have to be careful cuz sometimes there's scam artists out there
Answer: Nothing, in fact I used it in conjunction with other sites to further broaden my search for a place to stay. And although I didn't find it through Roomies in the end, I still had a pleasant experience—and made some new friends along the way!
