DO NOT USE THIS site. It claims to help you find a roommate (by sending you the contact information of other's looking for roommates in your area) if you pay $19.95 per year. However, I did not get the matches that I was promised after paying this amount.

I have tried several times to contact someone from their site to get a refund for services that were not rendered and to stop receiving their emails. I have not been able to contact anyone and my emails go ignored. There is no address or phone number listed. I repeat, DO NOT USE THIS SITE.

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

I gave 3 starts on some of boxes only because how good they scammed me out of my 20$
DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY!

You are better off spending that 20 dollars on drugs or a crate of snacks.

As everyone else has stated, at first you receive a small batch of highly enticing matches that seem very ideal. But what is the catch? NO CONTACT INFO...WELL DAG NAMIT!

So you are stuck between a rock and a hard spot. Should you just let your info circulate and hope SOMEONE you want will swoop in and save you. Or bite the bullet and pay the measly 20 bucks to get the numbers and do the labor work yourself?

Luckily someone did the enticing for me. I got a text and email in a day or so about someone wanting to add me to there lease, but the catch is it cost just the amount you want to pay, in an area you don't care for. I decline and follow up by asking how I can contact other matches (this is where I screwed up). So he follows up by saying cool, you might have to become A MEMBER to get the the contacts....

After being on this site for one week, I realized it was simply in the business for making money. You can't see your profile , you can't see their profile. You have no way to contact the other person , Nobody contacts you. They are not truly matches they're just people looking many of which are in another state . The site is not user-friendly. They claim it's your privacy that they're protecting , but I think it's the other way around.

I consider it a waste of money and time and effort . I would not recommend this site . They have a bad BBB rating so that means many people have been dissatisfied

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

This site sends lots of matches initially, making one think there are lots of great options, but you'll spend time weeding through poorly matched profiles ( really? matching an 18 yr old black male with a 50 yr old white female? Neither end is going to think that's a good match)

Age ranges aren't a choice. You either pick your exact age range, or all ages. So, if you're on the cusp of a range, like, for example, you're 39, and and don't mind a housemate who's 41, but don't want a housemate who's 18, then too bad. You either choose those who're 30-40, eliminating the 41 yr old, or you choose everyone, including the 18 yr old.

Even getting to the pertinent info in the profiles is time-consuming, as you first have to scroll through their math, looking at the percentages of a match in each category. The categories have a lot of overlap, though, and are not accurately labeled. "how you keep yourself" is misleading, and there are too many questions about cleanliness and order, which could be covered in one or two questions.
And the site makes far too much effort to be funny in... (Read the full review)

I reviewed the site before I signed up. It sounded legit. I received the first batch of emails and thought wow lots of matches. So I paid $20 to receive contact info and was bombarded with even more matches, but not within the area I needed. I received about 100 emails almost every other day and age and gender preferences didn't match! I've emailed twice to remove me from the service, but 0 reply and I still keep getting matches. I'm going to dispute this with my credit card company and would advise anyone who has paid to do the same.

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

They ask a bunch of questions then send you matches that don't fit ar meet basic criteria.
they don't let you prioritise major issues; e.g. drug use, minimum rent, smoking, and send matches that are a complete waste of time.
then they're rude and arrogant.
when you try to get them to ACTUALLY match to your requests and profile, they tell you you're in the wrong place.
complete GARBAGE.

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

Firstly I tried the one. Received 157 e-mails.
Then I decided to narrow my search, and placed some filters for my rommates, such as females, already owning a house, and paid 20 Dollars for it.
Then I received the SAME 157 profiles, with men, couples, people who didnt have a house.
The other thing is, EVEN if it were a legit company, there is no way you can search for the profiles, have photos. Its all about receiving tons of emails.
I reached them complaining and requesting my money back, never heard from them
DONT WASTE YOUR MONEY!

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!!

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.
