This company is a joke!

This company is a joke!
They offer no support at all.
I've been trying to get in touch with them about a very serious matter, it's been weeks by now, and it seems like they don't even exist: the "live chat" is NEVER live. They promise "just leave a message in the chat, we'll get back to you via e-mail"... and then they don't. I've tried emailing them, calling them on the phone: NOTHING.
To top it all off, their website doesn't allow you to change your own password, or to reset it. The link to the "forgotten your password?" page just doesn't work. This is unacceptable, especially for a website dealing with money and people's sensitive data!

Safe, Helpful and a Great Experience

As a young professional/student living in London for the first time I decided to use RoomForTea as it appeared safer than something like SpareRoom.com. Homeowners are verified, have a little description about themselves, and a conversation between them and the renter takes place before viewing the house to see if it's a good match.
I stayed in a North London RoomForTea home for 8 months and really enjoyed my experience. I was made to feel at welcome in the home and ended up having lots of interesting conversations.
Unfortunately I had to end my stay earlier than planned due to a separate personal situation, however RoomForTea and the lady I lived with were both very understanding and helpful. I was able to move out straight away with a 4 week notice period and no issues.
Thank you!

Great MidTerm Housing option in London

Great MidTerm Housing option in London

I have used RoomForTea several times in London. I love the midterm flexibility, quality of rooms available, and the affordability (since this is London we are talking about!).

Would highly recommend to anyone who is looking for a place to land in London for a few months.
