It's a nice app, but i do not like how much is monetised. you have to pay to be verified, pay to message certain ads,and there is no one-off message purchase. You have to purchase for a period of time. the app does not seem to respect certain filters like couples considered ,and it also seems to ignore the pet suitable filter as well. The good points I have noticed, though, is that it tells you how responsive someone is. it uses actual ID verification,and the app is easy to use and navigate

after years of using this app and website. their search function is absolutely useless, I've contacted support before about it and they won't even admit there is a problem. even if you're specific about the location you're searching then add some radius to it and it shows random places totally out of range of the search radius. why? is it some kinda marketing technique? it's infuriating. and a complete waste of time..

Hi Dominic, the radius you add to your search will begin from the very outer edge of the postcode, which means you may get results from further away. We recommend reducing the number of miles you add, or using our map facility. We'd be happy to help you further; please email us at customerservices@spareroom.co.uk. Best wishes, The SpareRoom Team

Reading some of the reviews here I agree with the one and five star reviews. I do get lots of calls for the room I advertised, however, that only lasts for 3 days or so then the calls drop off to near zero. So to get interest again, after one week you have to pay again, even though you have paid for a 4 week listing. Pressing the renew button sends it up the results search list. This is true, but it's not as effective as your initial listing. For now, it's still the best out there.

Hi Pete, one of the benefits of your upgrade is Renewing, this pushes your ad up in the listings, we recommend doing this daily if your area is busy with new ads being placed daily. You can do this on the My ads page, if you need help with this please contact us directly at customerservices@spareroom.co.uk. Best wishes, The SpareRoom Team

What’s new

In this update, we've introduced new features for buddying up with other users. You can now search for people looking to rent a whole property with others and see who has expressed interest in a whole property when viewing that ad.

We've also added manual photo rotation and made it quicker and easier to search for suitable users for your room or whole property.
