Great way to find a roommate
The site is user friendly, always new people so it’s helpful in finding new roommates. When I had a question or needed help with the site, they were very quick to respond and very helpful. Found a great roommate here.

I have a standing annual membership w/SpareRoom and they are a legit site compared to some others, like Roomster and much more useful than Roommates.com. Customer service is always prompt and reliable.

Good and not so good
It was nice to meet my new tenant on Spare Room but that was after 3 weeks of leads that appeared fake with AI generated images and potential tenants that I never heard back from again. One of the people who contacted me actually seemed to be looking for women to date and he added the ages of the females he wanted to live with. There were some very disappointing messages.

Not a happy customer
Out of all the rental apps I’ve used I get the least responses from spareroom.com
I’ve not been happy with the service or responses from tenants. I would not recommend spare room as a landlord looking for tenants

I first used Spare room last Spring and found a great tenant for six months after a Divorce. Now he's found a single place of his own for all his stuff. My pilot error with re activation was corrected in seconds with a return call from Amelia. Many thanks, Mark Flett
