Roomster is a roommate and room matching service with a global reach, present in far more cities than most competitors, including places where nothing else has inventory. Users post either a room or a search profile, filter by budget, dates and lifestyle preferences, and swap messages through the app. Free accounts can browse and post, while contacting other users generally requires a paid subscription.
Its breadth is the reason people keep coming back, but the quality of what is behind a listing varies. The company faced action from the Federal Trade Commission and several states in 2022 over fake listings and paid reviews, and users still report ghost adverts, so verification of the person on the other side is entirely on the renter. For a student comparing several countries at once it is a useful net, best used together with a site that checks homes properly.
