Do not join couchsurfing! I breaks my heart since couchsurfing was my life for years but became spammy and fraudulent. Read other people's comments to find out what's happened!

Only after creating the account they came up for asking a contribution of 3 dollars pro month. After that I did some brouwsing and find out that they must have made millions of dollars in the past. It feld as a scam for me and i dealeted tge account.

Couch surfing scammed me through verification. I thought they were just going to confirm my identity and I was not informed I was getting charged $60 until it was too late. Now they are refusing to refund me. They ruthlessly robbed me in the middle of a pandemic! They are criminals!

BE AWARE ! ! ! . I was shocked & horrified when I was asked to do a simple verification of my I. D. with my credit card. I thought this was only a credit card verification process. But I was immediately charged £51. This process happened so quickly, without the usual or any 'double checks' you get when making payments on line. I would NEVER have guessed I was about to be charged £51 to verify my I.D.. I would NEVER pay to verify my ID. CS App then asks for 3 further normal usual verification documents, which makes the Credit card verification totally unnecessary. I have NEVER seen this 'trick' before. I have NEVER been charged to verify my I. D. Before. I INTEND TO GET MY MONEY BACK VIA CREDIT CARD COMPANY OR COURT !

I received notifications for people and I cannot respond without paying a fee. What is happening to that free accommodation site? It looks fishy and I am not paying nothing but also cannot respond. Nothing is the same and why?

I had horrible scam experience from CS like some users here. I was paying monthly then all of a sudden paywall blocked me and I had to pay yearly. Then I got the receipts of two ways of paying. Then I contacted CS and they did refund. A month later got both receipts again but they didn't do anything before I contact them again. Then I paid for verification and again paywall blocked me so I can't enter the page if I don't choose the payment method again while I have to pay almost 100 euro till end of this month. Literally fraud and I think they are choosing who to scam

Been a member of couch surfing for a few years, My girlfriend and i made sure females had a safe place if stranded, I have a 9 months left on my account been blocked from reading a group comment as couchsurfing is demanding monthly payments, I pay yearly, because if i paid monthly my bank surcharges would be more than my membership at the end of the year. But why should i be blocked when i still have a lot of time before my membership runs out. Even when i get a request one cannot see it, when one wishes you Happy New Year one cannot see it, luckily for me there on Face Book and Whatsapp. Couchsurfing is no longer worth being rated, I can pay no problem, but why should i pay 15.36 dollars on top of my yearly fee, when i still had or have 9 months before my next payment

Once a no profit company managed by volounteers around the globe, one of the most magnificent project ran on the internet, really able to create a connection between people from far places in the world. Then turned into a corporation (with a lot of unfair profits, they basically sold the database the users contributed to create through the years). And finally, last step, they illegally locked out all the users behind a paywall, without giving the possibility to retrieve personal data. We should rise a legal act against this website, this is a huge fraud.
