I have been a member for over 10 years. Years ago, I paid for a "Lifetime Membership" (Verification) to support the platform and secure permanent access. It was promised as a one-time payment. Now, the developers have unilaterally revoked my access and blocked me with a paywall, demanding a monthly subscription just to see my own data. This is a blatant breach of contract and a deceptive business practice. They are essentially stealing money from their most loyal long-term supporters. I have already reported this fraud to Google Play Compliance and European Consumer Protection authorities. Couchsurfing is no longer about community; it’s about extortion. Stay away!

Un "ambassadeur" m'a retiré la vérification d'identité alors que j'avais utilisé la CB de ma mère pour payer malgré justificatifs possibles à fournir. Je n'ai jamais trouvé d'hôte mais j'ai hébergé une cinquantaine de personnes. Ils m'ont fait payer et ont désactivé mon compte de 15 ans car une jeune femme troll qui avait passé toute la nuit chez moi dans son propre lit m'a diffamé en m'accusant de tentative de viol.

Denies access from the very people that made that website worth anything. Greed fest

Hidden fees that they will not refund. Stay away from these liars.

Pessimo sito web forse sono truffatori. Paghi la quota e poi ti eliminano l'account senza motivo e senza spiegazioni. Se li contatti per spiegazioni non rispondono. Quando li ho contatatti per il pagamento ti rispondono anche prima di avergli inviato la richiesta. Poi per quel poco che l'ho utilizzato ho incontrato tipe chi mi hanno detto che gli utenti lo usano come sito di appuntamenti. Sarà serio o pericoloso?

Absolutely abusive used of "verification identity" through a payment i didn't approved since i've put my card info for an year subscription. For a reason that i ignore and that they did not respond they are illegally not applying the 14-day "cooling off period" that European Union law establishes at their Directive 2011/83/EU of the European Parliament and of the Council of 25 October 2011. I have decided to filled a lawsuit with the help of the California Consumer Protection federal service. I'm still waiting for them to answer my mails and my refund.

Doesn't accomplish what it claims to do, person just throws away $10 to get - nothing.

These guys are complete douch bags. It's a popular app that used to be free but now forces you to pay for your account BECAUSE of Covid-19! 5 years after the pandemic, they are still pathetically use that as an excuse. I guess they just want to monetize even more.
