CouchsurfingReviews of couchsurfing.com

This is a pure scam. They claim to connect hosts with travellers but their main aim is money. They charge to activate your account and give you a few hours to verify your account by adding another 60 USD. If you fail to verify they deactivate your account and claim you have violated their terms of which they are not specific. They will also write that the activation fee has been refunded but you will never see it in your account. In there terms there is no refunds. So this is pure scam. Be aware!!!

SCAMMERS - THEY REFUSED TO REFUND 56,00 EUROS ILLEGALLY CHARGED FOR "PAYMENT METHOD VERIFICATION"! And despite several emails, they keep cutting and pasting the usual standard response, not even bothering to call me with my correct name (clearly stated in my signature) but using my email address as my name! I will file a report with the FTC at ReportFraud.ftc.gov, and I strongly advise anyone in the same situation who reads this review to do the same. These fraudsters have to be stopped.

I’m extremely disappointed with Couchsurfing's recent U-turn on lifetime membership. I paid a one-time fee for what was clearly advertised as a lifetime membership, with no mention of future fees. Now, they're charging additional fees, completely breaking the promise they made to loyal members like myself. Many others are in the same situation, and this move feels like a betrayal of the trust we placed in Couchsurfing. They should honor the original agreement and restore the lifetime access we were promised.

Expérience regrettable d'escroquerie. J'ai également été prélevée de 56€, pour faire partie des "profils vérifiés". Sauf que ce n'est pas spécifié que c'est une opération payante.... Ils refusent le remboursement et je n'ai aucun moyen d'opposition. A fuir !!!

Es una absoluta estafa, te cobran y te eliminan la cuenta, una y otra vez. les preguntas y no te contestan o te contesta diciendo que pagues la verificación que son más de 60€. es estafa de libro, tened cuidado.

Fraude, prélèvement de 56€ en plus de l'inscription annuel

It’s not safe for women. When I was younger, man got into my bed in the middle of the night. When I talked with him about this situation, he guilt tripped me saying I’m making big deal out of nothing, crazy mf! Better pay more money and be safe.

Same as others, which I wish I read to pay closer attention to. They charged me $102AUD for verification. Verifying you are a real person pursay, isn't something you need to pay for, and like others, I thought you didn't get charged for it. When I requested a refund immediately they said they don't and you're contributing to the app. That's not a verification??? on the website, when I looked more into it, it says that you could ask for a refund before 2020. Why not after 2020? what's changed? in addition to this. A lot of people have been inactive for over a year, have a 0% response rate and those who are responsive are sleazy men.
