Proper customer service
My phone interactions with Spareroom are always 5*.
Firstly, they have long office hrs; who else would be available at 6pm on a Sundday?
I was given the better option of 28 days upgrade, which can be extended free to 8 weeks
I received the usual 10% discount for a returning customers; The code was added to my account saving me hassle of typing in a code
Overall marvellous 5* service; Thanks Rick

I had a very positive experience using SpareRoom to find a lodger. The website was easy to use, and I was able to advertise my room quickly and communicate with potential lodgers through the platform.
I received a good number of enquiries and was able to find a suitable tenant in a relatively short time. The search filters and messaging system made the whole process straightforward and efficient.
Overall, I found SpareRoom to be a reliable and helpful service, and I would happily recommend it to anyone looking for a lodger or a room in the UK. Thank you for providing such a useful platform!

Reply from SpareRoom
Hi Sandra,
Thank you for your feedback. Based on your review and the description in your current wanted ad, it sounds like you may be looking for an event space for a party rather than a residential let.
At SpareRoom, we provide advertising space solely for people looking for or offering residential lets.
Please get in touch with our Customer Service Team on 0161 768 1162 or by emailing customerservices@spareroom.co.uk . We’d like to make sure you’re looking for a residential let and not an event space so we can best support you.
Best wishes,
The SpareRoom Team
Francesca
Francesca, as with her colleagues to whom I’ve talked previously, was exceptionally professional, helpful and friendly.
