Roommates.comReviews of roommates.com

NOT RECOMMEND!! I'll have to concur with the other reviewers. Roommates.com has been a waste of time and more importantly money. No one can directly communicate unless each party pays to view profile descriptions and/or messages. And like other reviewers, I suspect they intentionally create BOGUS accounts to make it seem like you have "matches" or you've have messages from an interested party. But of course you have to pay to see it. I've done that a few times. Text or call that person. That person takes forever to respond. Or stop responding after initial contact. Setup? Going through the motions after payment received? Horrible site. Would NOT RECOMMEND!

This site has been a waste of time. Half of the people I matched with did not have real profiles, descriptions, or photos. I subscribed for one month of service, which I believe I was conned into. When I initially created an account, I got a message right away from a "match" who couldn't see my information or couldn't contact me because I wasn't a VIP member. I joined as a VIP and never heard from that person again. The remainder of my month on the site did not yield anything worth mentioning. The people that were designated as my "perfect matches" weren't even looking for a place in my city. This site and service needs a major logistical overhaul to compete with other roommate services. I think the only thing it has going for it at this point is the very convenient domain name.
