Extremely Versatile & Useful
SpareRoom makes a complicated process much less overbearing & has a great amount of options for finding exactly what you are comfortable with. Plus, they offer some unique options such as saving searches in great detail with notifications. That helps a lot to not only feel secure, but also keep track of a vast, curated search area.

Misleading
I’ve been using this app to rent out a room, and at first it seemed promising because I received a lot of replies. But after paying attention, I realized almost every message is nearly identical, like copy-and-paste responses. It feels like the app is generating fake engagement just to keep users active.
Whenever I respond to these “interested” people, nobody ever replies back. Not a single conversation continues past the first message. It’s extremely suspicious and feels like a scam tactic to make you think your listing is getting real attention when it’s not.
This app needs to be more transparent about where these messages are coming from. Right now, the interactions feel fake and misleading. I wouldn’t recommend this platform

Hi George,
We're sorry to hear you've not had as much response to your listing as you'd have liked.
At SpareRoom, we never create fake accounts to enquire to your ad. All messages you have received will be from real people enquiring about your room to rent. Our main priority is keeping people using the website safe, as well as ensuring non-genuine accounts are taken off the website, investing heavily in automated security filters and having a real team of moderators reviewing all content on the site. If you do wish to report anything to us however, you can do so by getting in touch with us via email.
We do also offer useful help and advice with your advertising! If you can contact us at team@spareroom.com, we'd be happy to help further.
Kind regards,
The SpareRoom Team
BEST TO RECOMMEND THIS APP.
Very helpful and I don’t have to pay to advertise my apartment this is best I can recommend to all landlords and property managers.
