This is kind of an scam, and tiranny! people create profile in a freemium site which offers free servicers, when he get enough users and people get used to using it. it closes site and makes people pay under fake "donation" which is not donation if it is mandatory. also as some say it charges 50 Eu without asking and is like robbery. I strongly suggest people do sue this site and also some people bring an application with similar features so people can move to that app.

They will charge you 56EUR for account verification, without notifying you. This is a dark pattern and ilegal in Europe. Avoid them like the plague.

I have subscribe for 1 month only, but they asked me to verify my credit card, I accepted and all of a sudden I was charged £51 for a lifetime coachsurfing membership- which I did not want. My permission wasn't ask, they have simply taken my money without explaining what meant to "verify your card" Ihave writted straight away to support and there is still no way of the "support" to understand what is happening. A total scam, I am utterly frustrated and disappointed by such behaviour of the company.

Don't trust this bunch. The site was created by the community by letting g people stay in their homes for free. Then they sold the company and now you have to pay a fee to even enter the site. Remember who created this site!! Capitalism on steroids at its worst!!

I will never ever use couchsurfing, will never recommend anyone. I did the biggest mistake by clicking verify my account as normally it does not cost anything on other websites. They charged me 420kr! What kind of scam is this. If anyone planning to sue them, please reach me out. I would like to participate as well. It is unbelieavable.

Couchsurfing has totally tanked its reputation. I used to love this community. Been a member for over 15 years and made some great friends hosting along the way. But then they started a paid subscription service, took money without warning me, and said 'no' when I politely asked for a refund because I don't use the service anymore. PayPal sided with me and returned the money, but the way they handled it was just awful. I've gone from being an avid fan of Couchsurfing to someone who warns everyone I meet against joining it.

I wanted to sign up as a host. I didn’t want to make any money, just wanted to meet interesting people on life’s journey. Couldn’t even look around the app for free to see whether it was for me and if it was something I was interested in. Immediately hit by a paywall which put me off. There’s no way am I paying just to have a look. Who knows? Had i been allowed a look, there’s a good chance I’d have subscribed. But I wasn’t , and I didn’t.

I got banned after being harrassed by a woman because I told other users about it, no actual explanation given.
