User Reviews

Many users criticize SpareRoom US for paywall messaging, scams, and poor activity. Recurring complaints include having to pay to contact others, many fake or unverified accounts, and accounts being locked or rejected during sign-in.

Overall, the app struggles with user trust, engagement, and consistent access.

I put on this site for about two years but in that time, I can honestly say that, even though I have a two-story home a spa a pool, very nice landscaping in the backyard and access to all community property. Everything in the kitchen so forth I’ve never received one message from anybody from this website. I am within their price range and I am located in the area that they say they’re searching, but no matter how many messages I sent out nobody response so I’m not sure if you guys aren’t showing my ad unless I pay for an upgrade but this website produces no roommates. I use craigslist and I get phone calls and messages at least once a week so something’s definitely wrong with spare room.

Can’t log in the app but I can log in through the website. I change my password and nothing I deleted the app and reinstalled and nothing. Is there a problem with the app?
