I received tons of emails with short profiles, forwarded to interested renters, NO responses from anyone. Keep receiving every week same profiles for almost a month. I will not recommend to renters or those renting.

In summary, I would not recommend Roomie Match to a friend.

I was bombarded with 135 matches and after reading each one to find out who they were , there were only 4 long shot matches all under 30!! I am 65 and site has NO way to refine searchs by a close age or location. I wouldn't send anyone to the NON service. How do I get OFF their list!!

In summary, I would not recommend Roomie Match to a friend.

This seemed like an easy enough process, and initially seemed more thorough in their questions than others, but they cover ground on some issues, (like how often you do dishes) ignoring how often, or whether people contribute to the yard work.

And the worst part is that they do the matching, and give you percentages, but you see NOTHING about the people they match you with, other than the percentage they were a match.

There's the age issue. Someone who's 52 might not want to live with those who're 20, but also might not want to be limited to those over 50. Unfortunately, there is no choice. You either accept the age group the service picks, or you accept all ages.

In summary, I would not recommend Roomie Match to a friend.

They send me hundreds of emails that were completely useless for me and when I sent an email asking to be removed from their email list I continued to get bombarded with spam! I had to block them manually in order to stop getting spammed with 5-10 emails every day or two.

In summary, I would not recommend Roomie Match to a friend.

Do NOT give these people your $20.00, I honestly think they just sit around collecting money without the intention of actually matching anyone.
BUYER BEWARE!

I can't believe I paid $20 for this site. They claim that they have real person looking through the matches to find you the right ones but I've now emailed the company over 5 times in the past two weeks asking to cancel my account and still haven't reached anyone and without a phone number I'm out of options and $20.
This site gives you less information than you would get on craigslist, makes it harder to reach people, and will BOMBARD your inbox with a bunch of "matches" that don't fit your needs or requests. I cannot stress enough DO NOT sign up for this site!

In summary, I would not recommend Roomie Match to a friend.

I've emailed the customer service THREE times to cancel my subscription and reimburse me. No response. It's a wild goose hunt for finding roommates, especially if you are in a suburban town. The service did not even bother filtering the email to see if both of us wants to live in the same town. The constant emails (from people who don't even want to live in your town) are aggregating. Next time I will definitely do my research before signing up or paying.

In summary, I would not recommend Roomie Match to a friend.

Everything on here is true including them changing your roommate preferences without your permission.

I used this site, paid for the membership unfortunately. I should have known this was a scam because the emails where written in a very strange format. They contacted me telling me to expect 68 matches in my email that same day, but the emails never came. I followed up with customer service for the next two days and never heard back. Another red flag should have been the fact that they don't have a phone number and all communication is through that one email address. I called my credit card company to dispute the charge and cancel the service (again which can only be done through the email they weren't responding to) to find that the $20 "one time fee" is actually a recurring charge. I have disputed the charge and opened an investigation.

In summary, I would not recommend Roomie Match to a friend.

I liked their profiling questions and so I joined, without checking them out. I was flooded with hundreds of MIS-matches. Maybe 5% of the people they sent me were close to a match. When I wrote for customer support, I got NO response. I sent 3 more requests. Finally, I blacklisted them in my email. Waste of $20. Really makes me mad when I get ripped off. Even madder at myself for not checking them out FIRST.

In summary, I would not recommend Roomie Match to a friend.

I'll start with the perceived Pros of the site: The service guarantees that each profile will be reviewed by a person, therefore allowing them to weed out scammers and match you with legitimate roommates. The profile questions are very in-depth, which would hopefully mean that you'd find a very compatible roommate. Matches are sent straight to your e-mail, so you don't have to search through a bunch of incompatible roommates. (This is a pro and a con: To contact potential roommates, you have to pay for the service, but $20 for a year seems like a good deal.)

The cons, and my experience: This site is only good in theory. I created a profile about a month ago, but when it was accepted some answers had been changed (rent range, age range, etc). Received all the "matches" and wasted a lot of time reading through matches that didn't meet my criteria because of the changes to my profile. (Also, there is no option to search through profiles; you can only look at the ones sent to your e-mail.) Went through the FAQ, and as suggested I created a new profile that was supposed to replace the original one. There is no... (Read the full review)
