I was a verified member had many nice reviews from my guests suddenly was removed from the platform can't even inform those who I accepted. Ulrike April 2023 They refunded my yearly fee which I recently paid

Couchsurfing used to be great before COVID. My experience is the same as everyone. You are immediately locked out of your account and first asked to pay a small fee of 49baht which I thought was fine but then without any verification you are charged around 90$ which is a HUGE SCAM. They are just scamming people now. Make sure to call your credit card after and submit a fraud report to get your money back

You download app, sign up, and they immediately promote you to "verify" your account, after you click it, there is mass of text with all the benefits of that verification and without any piece of information that it will cost you 60$. Then they ask you to write you card details which look as if will take and return small charge like other services do. But after you click "verify with card" you will be charged for 60 USD without any notice or chnace to refuse!!! Furthermore they "refund policy" says that you cannot return money for this verification. It is a scam.

They consistently rob people of 59chf without informing them

I almost got raped by a host in France, almost had to jump from a two storey building but heavens had other plans for me. I found courage to explain in detail what had happened to CS customer service, only to be dismissed by them. Their response was, "Your message has opened a confidential file of your concern, so we're aware in case we receive any additional complaints about this person. We will additionally be following up with them regarding their intentions and behaviors on our website. It’s important to us that you feel safe and comfortable on Couchsurfing" I still don't remember what shocked me the most, almost getting raped by my host or the insensitive and irresponsible response I got from this people. They never took any action against the man which meant he still had access to the platform to be able to perpetuate his evil. Steer clear from everything couchsurfing.

Couchsurfing é pericoloso per diversi motivi. In primo luogo le donne vengono spesso molestate e in passato anche drogate . Moltissime persone usano couchsurfing come una dating app e alcune donne sono sfruttatici. Un ambiente assolutamente da evitare .Inoltre continuano a prelevare soldi indebitamente anche dopo avere chiuso l'account.

Fraudulent charge of € 56,- for a verification. It's not stated anywhere on the payment page that a charge will be made, also not for how much. Absolutely illegal behaviour!

While I don't have an issue with the site itself and the experiences I've had thus far, it definitely left a bitter feeling when everyone was locked out of their account around Covid and asked to pay a fee in order to access any of your information, friends, contacts, reviews etc. There was a lot of hype about this and the fact that this site was always supposed to be free, but that's no longer the case! They went beyond just asking for donations (which I'm guessing many would have done!) You were forced to pay the fee or wouldn't have access to any of your account information. What's actually worse is that I've learned that Couch Surfing isn't charging for every country! As far as I'm aware, it's Canada and the United States right now. I recently had a surfer who mentioned this and as much as I hated to go back to Couchsurfing and pay my yearly fee, I was compelled to do so because of the history I had already established on the site. I simply cannot believe the audacity of this company and the fact that charging a fee is NOT universal as it would just cause them to lose more customers. Unbelievable!
