—K Gardner

Dear All at Spareroom, Just wanted to say a thank you for a fantastic site. I was wary when I signed up and really didn't think it would work, but about 8 days after I advertised I was able to remove the ad because I've got a new lodger. Last time I advertised for a lodger it took me 3 weeks of advertising with the local newspaper at a cost of £120. I'm really impressed. Thanks again, Regards

—D Osborne

Just to let you know, we have been really impressed with your site since placing our initial ad about 6 months ago. We have received 2 wonderful people through this and would just like to say a big THANK YOU to you. We have now temporarily expired our ad as we have quite a 'long term' person in at present, but will certainly be back to you in the future. Well done on a fabulous site and brilliant idea

—Elaine

Dear Sirs What a fantastic service! Within 24 hours (honest!) we have found an ideal house mate. Such a service speaks for itself. Well Done.

—C Acres

First time I have used the site to advertise and it wont be the last. Within 5 minutes we had a phone call and that person took the room 2 hours later a big thank you.

—David

Amazing! I found someone within hours of posting the ad - I didn't think it could happen again as the same thing happened 6 months ago when I first used your site.

—S

Thanks so much,we had so much interest!! We filled two rooms in 3 days.Amazing.We had lots of enquiries.Great system,we can find out what our lodgers like and dislike and they can do the same with us.I wish i had an extra 6 rooms because i would have filled them within a week!! Thanks once again.

—A Thewlis

Just thought I'd let you know that having decided to rent out my spare room, I looked on the internet for suitable sites where I could advertise. Yours was the first site I looked at and I decided to advertise with you without looking any further at other websites. I spent about 2 mins working out an advert and uploaded it immediately at about 11am. I took a phone call ref the advert at 1pm and arranged a viewing for the next day. I took another phone call literally a couple of minutes after I'd put the phone down from the first call, and proceeded to take a further 'serious' enquiry the next day too. So, I thought I'd let you know that the first person who called and viewed the room has just moved in for the beginning of a short-term let - and all from an advert that had been placed just 2 hours before his phone call to me a couple of weeks ago. I'm just thrilled with the service you offer and my new lodger is thrilled with finding his new temporary home.

—G Chard

I just wanted to say thanks for helping me find a new house in 10 minutes! As soon as I'd posted the ad, I received a call from a guy who's now going to be my new housemate. Quick, efficient and totally painless! Thanks guys!

—R Smith

I rarely do this, but just wanted to say that your website was really bloody good!!! Thanks for the help, got someone in 7ish days.

—H Capper

I would like to thank you for your excellent service.All the replies that I have had were first class and have a new tenant coming in next week.

—A Crockford

Amazing! I found someone within hours of posting the ad - I didn't think it could happen again as the same thing happened 6 months ago when i first used your site.

—Sara

In our view SpareRoom.co.uk never fails to deliver, usually within 5 days!

—Clare Rayner

I advertised for the 2nd time on Spareroom when 2 double rooms in a flatshare came up, having originally I found out about the site by recommendation. The first time I used it we'd let the place within 3 days – but, of course, we wondered if it might be beginners luck. Not so! The advert generated an incredible interest level – we had 9 viewings on day 1 and within 36 hours of the advert going live both rooms were let. I wish I had more rooms based on the interest level we had!

—Clare Rayner

Room now let, whole thing only took 6 days fantastic, will use you again next time

—D Pedder

Arranging my housemate through SPAREROOM has worked out so well he's still here and set to remain for the foreseeable: any time I have a vacancy, SPAREROOM will be my first choice. in fact, in this case, communication was so good and complete that I even arranged the let and had him move in while I was away: confidence which was completely justified. I wouldn't do that every time but it shows how well it can work. My lodger has commented that my SR profile gave him a really helpful and accurate impression, so that he knew this was the place to go for. Feedback from other people I contacted was that they were equally clear it wasn't quite what they needed - so no wasted time in looking, just a few emails and the right one here! So I'll keep the profile on file and use it again next time.

—Peter M

The entire experience was great - putting the ad up was very simple and took no time at all. I was really impressed with how easy using the website was. Browsing the profiles was really straightforward too. All my emails were nicely organised in threads, which made staying in touch with all potential flat mates really easy. Once I found the perfect match (she's really lovely and it only took one day!), the option to suspend my ad was really useful. I wasn't receiving lots of comms, and still knew I could re-post it should anything fall through. I'd definitely recommend spareroom.co.uk to all my friends! Excellent value for money!

—A Tomkowicz

I found a lodger in only three days. My local paper charges a silly £60 per week for an advert, in fact over the years they have tripled their prices. Great service thank you.

—Marc B

I just wanted to write and congratulate you on a fantastic website. I had a couple of weeks to rent my spare room out for six months. Your website was amazing, easy to use and I had lots of messages from potential tenants. We now have a lovely tenant with us. I will certainly use it again in the future. Thanks for all your help! 

—K Peacock

Thankyou, thankyou, thankyou. This time I only used SpareRoom, had several enquiries and took the second person I saw! Instant rapport, intelligent and considerate. Maybe I've even found a friend! What more could I want? I saw five in total and have turned away several requests. This is without doubt the best method I have ever found for finding a lodger other than letting selected friends know I have a vacancy. I always let friends know of your site when the subject of lodgers comes up.

—Rob SE16

Once again you have proved top trumps when it comes to finding a flatmate! I have just let my room again in 1 day, this is now my 3rd flatmate I have found through your site. Absolutely brilliant service! Thank you a million!

—Justin

I advertised our spare room to let on Monday morning, within 2 hours I had a phone call from an interested party, Wednesday evening he arrived to view and took the room. A totally pain free exercise and it cost us nothing! Many thanks for making my life so much easier financially and in terms of finding a tenant.

—Steve Musgrove

I have found the service excellent. I have used other sites but all my enquiries and tenants have come through SpareRoom

—PD

I would just like to send a big thank you to you and your team. I have used your website for the past three years, we have had some lovely lodgers. You run a brilliant service quick and easy. I would only ever recommend your company. Once again SpareRoom A BIG THANK YOU. Hope to do business with you again in the near future

—Kim Kelly

Superb website, very helpful and extremely affective! Quick and simple when placing an advert, enabling potential tenants to contact you almost immediately. Good calibre of clientele. SpareRoom is clearly the best website around!

—Michael Armstrong

Very impressed with this site, have used it over the last couple of years and it's the only way I now advertise. Thanks

—AR

I would definitely recommend SpareRoom.co.uk. It takes all the hard work out of the worry of renting a room out. The 1st week we didn't get anybody through the door but plenty of people clicked on the advert - as soon as I upgraded to a bold advert, I was inundated with phone calls and viewings. Many thanks for an excellent service.

—Stephen

It's a great service for me. Has kept my room full since Jan 2009

—VP

I just wanted to say thanks to you and all your colleagues for helping me find a lodger for my spare room. In the month or more that it was listed, I have had had 32 conversations with 'possibles', and countless telephone calls as well, so the response has been phenomenal. And now I have found someone who seems just right for me in every way. So a big thank you, and I won't hesitate to recommend you to a friend, or to come back to you if ever I need to.

—Laura

I just want to say thank you for this website, I have just rented my spare room within about 10 days of posting the ad, this is the fourth time I have used the site and hope that this one will be as successful as all the previous tenants. I love the ease of use, being able to expire the ad for future use, amending wording and photos easily etc. It has removed a lot of the stress there used to be in trying to find new housemates so thank you so much for your site. I spread the word to anyone I know who is in the same situation as myself of needing to generate income by letting a room and always sing your praises, so many thanks again!

—Anna

We have used SpareRoom every time we needed a lodger - we have had some permanent and some just staying for the summer. Of all the 6 people we have rented a room to they have all been great. The good thing about SpareRoom is that you can list what you are looking for and also make sure that your prospective lodger knows all about yourself. I've told everyone about SpareRoom. My sister is using you at the moment to find a lodger and I'm sure I will need you again in the future. I've tried some of the other rent a room sites and they dont even compare to yours

—Audra

Old tenant left in rather a hurry...SpareRoom.co.uk helped me fill the room again and it took just 3 days. That's right...THREE DAYS! Incredible! Thank you everyone at SpareRoom.co.uk - you've got a fabulous team working for you

—Anna Mackaness

I would just like to say that I was amazed how well the ad worked on your web site. We found the right person for our room and I am delighted with that. I will certainly be coming back if we need to do the same again. Many thanks

—S PARNABY

I want to thank spareroom.co.uk - we had very good responses to our advert and the rooms are now booked for rental.

—D Orr

Just to say thanks for a great service and really easy to use site. We now have an ideal tenant for our spare room and will certainly use your service again in the future and would recommend your site to others.

—S Baron

Thank you for the clear instructions for deleting the advert, I have just completed it now. Thank you also for your web site I have found a great flat mate who has signed an 8 month contract so after that I maybe using your service again! Many thanks again for your help

—C Brown

Thanks for a great website. The daily email alerts are a great help and via the site I've finally found a flatmate - so thanks again!

—E Greenslade

I have found a great flatmate through you site. It is by far the best that I have tried. Many Thanks for all your help.

—L Gordon

I have deleted my advert for the time being as I have found someone. However, I would just like to compliment your site as I am really please with who I found through the site. I used several similar sites but the quality from your site was much better. I am happy for you to contact me again every 3 mth if you have a mktg list. as people generally leave at the end of the contract. I thought you would appreciate the feedback. Regards

—E

I have had a response and someone is due to move into the spare room this week. This is a great website and I shall not hesitate to recommend it to any friends/colleagues who may wish to advertise! Regards

—R Blackwell

Thankyou for providing a great service. I quickly found a suitable tennant. keep up the good work!

Full house at the moment, a good website and very fast.

—L Wyatt

I have let the room now for 3 - 6 months or so - thanks for your service - I will use it again if I decide to let again in future.

—J Davies

...just to let you know I have used a range of 'spare room to let' type websites - and Spareroom has got me in touch with the right person every time. Cheers

—R Powell

I Would just like to say a Big thankyou. It has been a first time experience of Advertising on "Spareroom" as a Landlord and Have found the site simple to use, clear and concise. The vacancy has now been filled in quite a short space of time I hasten to add. Also thought the emails notifying me of potential tenants is great. Will definateley use the service again in the future.

—C Cavey

Thanks for the use of your site, superb response and now found a lodger, cheers

Just wanted to feedback how impressed I am with your website. It was easy to place my ad, the instructions in your emails for activating it were simple and, within 24 hours I had a lodger respond!! I will certainly recommend your website to all who ask!!

—E Payne

The room is been taken this morning. We had a reply and she loved the room. Thanks for your help. I will use this site again when room available again. Thanks for all your help.

—M Mar

I just wanted to say that your site provides an excellent service and much better value for money than Flatmateclick and Easyroommate. I took out subscriptions with both but found 6 tenants at no cost through your site. I also really like the viewing stats feature.

—S Haider

I have again to thank you, because I have found the sharer I was looking for once again through your organisation. Having had to start looking just before Xmas the right person came along. Thanks again and I recommend your organisation to anyone looking for a sharer.

—D Parish

I've been impressed with the response from your website and as a result I expect all my rooms to be taken by the end of next week.

—D Allen

Your service is fab! I will e-mail and otherwise inform everybody of your invaluable assistance - you are God sent ! Keep up the good work! I have had responses from all over the world ... The room has gone to a lovely Spaniard. Hope you get a huge box of Valentine chocolates and a Veuve Cliquot!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! All the best

—S Rouban

Just to let you know that I have successfully found a tenant for my spare room through your advert. Your service was excellent and I would use it again and highly recommend you.

—T Ahopelto

Great service - this is the second time a suitable tenant has taken my accommodation.

—A Brooker

Thank you very very much indeed. I have found one very good lodger from your website. I am eternally grateful.

—L Jennings

I just wanted to say thank you - the quality of the applicants from the this site has been good and although I am still rooting through to find the perfect flatmate - I would recommend this site as its better to some other I had tried to use !

—T Bankside

Thank you so much !!! I found a perfect lodger almost immediately !

—s rouban

I think your web site is one of the best. I may only have had one enquiry direct. But He is coming on Tuesday to look at the room

—D Hedge

Just to say thank-you again for this fantastic site. Have advertised with you before - and each time have found really lovely tenants through you.

—C Masterman

Hello my room has now gone, website has been amazing had loads of really good applicants. Many thanks

—G Kingsman

Just thought you might want to know that I decided to rent a room out yesterday afternoon, then found your website and placed an ad. Then straight after placing an ad I did a search and found someone who fitted the bill and so texted him. Long story short he was on my doorstep to view a half hour later and we had a cup of tea and a chat etc ... and later that evening, he phoned to take the room. Ad was placed around 4.30pm ..he was viewing by 5.30pm ... it was all sorted after that and he moves in in about 2 weeks time. Never expected to find someone so fast ... thought it could take weeks as I am quite particular etc ... certainly didnt expect it to happen in within an hour lol. Excellent

—Sharon

Thank you to Spareroom.com a great service, which allows you to search for your ideal house mate, unlike other sites that are far more expensive with no search facility, and left to chance. I have had constant enquires as a landlord and also had the facility to match my requirement's with others one week and all is done and dusted, Thank you very much ten out of ten.

—Val

just to say,looked on your site,just for interest [as needed a lodger] saw an advert,for someone needing a room, bingo, she has moved in and all is going well. Will be needing another lodger in july, so wont hesitate to use your site again.

—P Bowler

Next time I need someone for the room, I will not hestitate to contact you. I think the whole package and the back up service has been excellent throughout.

—C

Thanks for excellent service, I found a great tenant very fast.

—G Durban

I just wanted to let you know that within 24 hours of placing my advert on here,I have a tenant!- fantastic . Thank you so much.

—A Hinchey

THANK YOU SPAREROOM - I PAID FOR OTHER SITES AND THEY SENT ME ONLY 1 PERSON. ONCE I WAS WITH YOURSELVES I WAS INDATED WITH POTENTIAL FLATMATES WHO LOVED MY FLAT AND ALL WANTED TOO MOVE IN. I WAS SPOILT FOR CHOICE - THANK YOU!!!!!! DONT TRY ANYWHERE ELSE AND WASTE YOUR MONEY LIKE I DID - THANK YOU AGAIN SPARE ROOMS. I HAVE THE PERFECT FLAT MATE BECAUSE I COULD CHOOSE WHO I WANTED - THANK YOU!!!!!

—N Jaye

What a pleasure to use this service. I rented out my room really quickly. I tell and will continue to tell my friends about your service.

—JP Tynan

Your website really does work --I have always found suitable tenants through Spareroom Thank You again

—Kary

Have just got a housemate in and she's ideal - fortunately all that she said she was on the initial interview! I also had to email you guys with an admin question which was answered that day - amazing!! Thanks for your help, will def. use you again!

—Vanessa

Thank you for the service you provide. I have found someone who wishes to rent for 3-6 months. I will definately use your service again.

—P Kaye

I think your site is amazing. I have rented my room out several times and you never fail to find me the ideal housemate! Thanks so much spareroom.co.uk! xxx

—K Grimshaw

Thank you for your help i got all i wished for some lovely tennants and will recommend you to everybody when the need arrises

—G Passingham

I was only made aware of your site last week by friend, and after having a look thought why not give it a try. Within a couple of hours I had some enquiries and have now filled all my rooms. Great website and very easy to use for someone like me with little computer knowledge. Much better than advertising in the local papers.

—P Leonard

We were thrilled to let out our room within 24hrs of posting our ad on your site - we will recommend you and certainly use you again in the future Many thanks

—G Clark

Your site was brilliant, easy to use and helpfull advise available. This is the first time I have had a lodger and looking through other adverts I was able to see the kind of lodger that would best fit in with our needs. We have a nice friendly lodger and we are all very happy thanks to you. I was also able to look for info on the needed rent book and tax info thr your sight, all made very easy. All sorted in under 2 weeks. Many thanks

—Kay

Thanks to SpareRoom.co.uk we had 9 viewings for 2 double rooms tonight and let both - only advertised 2 days ago - ace website

—clarerayner

SpareRoom is clearly a well used website and it integrates with Twitter and Facebook, so you can spread the word through social media. The people looking for rooms appear to be serious (not time wasters) and we will certainly use it again as well as recommend it to others

—Clare Rayner

I only advertised my room on Saturday when I joined the site, and I have found someone straight away to rent my room!...it's been a great success - thanks!

—J Roper

Thank you so much for helping me find a tenant. Spareroom is definititely the best way to look for tenants

—J Amporful

The room took just four days to let and I could have let it several times over, so I am very pleased

—J Threadgold

Just wanted to say how impressed I am with this site. I advertised a room to let at 10am and by 2pm it was let, deposit paid! I received 2 offers and had at least 10 others calls after I had let it. All decent sounding professional people. Brilliant and free! Thank you

—E Darke

I just wanted to say how pleased I am with SpareRoom. I have had fantastic results - mainly short term. Now hopefully I have found a longer term tenant through your wonderful website. Well done & thanks again.

—S S

I just wanted to say thank you for such a great website. It was so easy to use and I managed to let my room in no time at all.

—Kayleigh Butcher

Just wanted to say that I think this site is fantastic. I rented my spare room with it last time in under a week and have just had some excellent responses to my latest ad. Thank you so much for making it so easy to navigate and set up.

—Amanda

We were very pleased with the response we got from our advert on SpareRoom.co.uk. We could have let the room many times over as we had over fifteen people interested. We interviewed four people in the end as we wanted to make sure we had the right person to fit in with us and would wish to live with us. Many of the interested prospective lodgers said it was the photos and the description that won them over. I did tell one that after reading my description I would want to live with us!

—Heather Wylde

Found a fantastic tenant via your website. Have used the site before and find it easy and very successful. Thanks

—Tricia Stark

I just wanted to say thank you so much. I found the perfect lodger and I had quite a few stipulations - eg Monday-Friday & ideally long-term, amongst other things. We are both delighted. I'll also be telling friends how excellent SpareRoom is! Thanks again

—Louise Middleton

The opportunity to contact people who are searching directly made this site much easier to use and seem more commercially aware of who was using it. Gumtree seem to be more focused on getting you to pay for your advert so they drop your listings quite quickly, which is frustrating

—LH

Excellent site, easy to use and always gets me a tenant

—SG

I have used SpareRoom since 2008 and have always been successful in finding lodgers within a week or two

—JC

I would very much recommend this website to anyone who is looking for a lodger - I have used other websites and they were hopeless. I have had great success in finding not one, but three great lodgers and all within a couple of days. This website is very easy to get around and is user friendly; it was well worth the money and I would recommend it to any landlady/landlord. Thanks for a great service and your help

—Donagh Davies

Many thanks once again - SpareRoom is amazing - I had so much interest and found a great bloke (hopefully) within three days

—Lesley Banks

I recently used your service and was very impressed. In fact, I was simply amazed about the number of leads it generated - more than enough to fill my flat twice and probably treble over!

—Karl Brookes

I wanted to thank you so much for this brilliant site. I have now successfully let my en-suite room to a charming guy. I have been inundated with calls, so I am delighted with the response and have also been very pleased with the courtesy shown by your team. So it's a big thank you from me, and if I may, I will re-use this site again - probably in December when my lodger will be vacating.

—Brenda

Just wanted to say how brilliant your site has been! I've had an ad on a Monday - Friday website for months and not heard a peep. Within a day of my ad going online I've had loads of calls, several viewings and have found a flatmate who seems really nice (fingers crossed). Many thanks!

—AK

I would like to say that I have been very impressed by your site and had a fantastic number and most impressively, quality of enquiries. I could have rented my room out to a number of applicants but have chosen one who only needs it 2/3 days a week which suits me well. Very good site and great response. Thanks

—NM

Very positive experience. The couple who rent our room from Monday to Thursday are absolutely lovely, polite and considerate. Great result.

—HLG

Seems to be working well. Have had 6 enquiries within a few hours, and they all seem like genuinely good flatmate prospects so I'm very happy.

—NE

This is the second person I have found through SpareRoom. The first one has now moved out to live with her boyfriend, and in one year we have become very good friends. The second one seems very nice too. Thank You SpareRoom, I will always advertise through you should I need to in the future

—MT

Thank you for your brilliant service as I could have let the room a few times over

—CH

I find your site quick easy and user friendly, the small charge to contact potential tenants is well worth it

—RS

I've used your website twice to find someone and been delighted each time to meet someone I can now call a friend

—DC

Room let already! Fantastic way to get a lodger!

—CC

I just thought I'd send you a quick email to let you know I put an advert on your site, and very soon, had a few enquiries. The lodger I chose has been with me now for 14 months, and he's been absolutely brilliant. It's worked out really well. he works full time, and is friendly and helpful, pays on the dot every month. He is very unobtrusive, I hardly know he is there. I am hoping he will be with us for a while longer yet, but I would certainly use your site again in the future, thankyou.

—Tracy

Both my lodgers were very respectful and professional. I would certainly recommend SpareRoom

—Sonia

Brilliant way of advertising rooms

—Val

I’ve been delighted with the service SpareRoom offers. When I registered I received a very kind email offering help. This was a novelty to me as I had previously registered with 2 other sites which happily took money from me but never provided any assistance nor any enquiry! I was a novice into the whole area so I really appreciated being able to talk to somebody who could guide me through the whole process. And best of all, it took me less than 3 weeks to find a suitable lodger. I would happily recommend the service to everybody wanting to rent a room. I only wish I had come across it earlier!

—Marie

SpareRoom has helped me find three tenants in the past and has really worked well for me - they have all been lovely people and I haven't had any problems. Many thanks for your excellent website

—TS

This has been a very positive experience. I have taken in lodgers for many years but using SpareRoom was the quickest and cheapest way of finding a new lodger

—PP

It was a good experience getting a lodger from your platform. She has been a fantastic housemate and we both couldn't have asked for more. Thanks for making it all work out

—AB

I think this site is good for getting rooms rented out. I have had all my rooms rented and had great people staying with me thanks to this site

—EC

Someone contacted me about renting my room within the first 24 hours so for the 2nd time of advertising on the site I am very happy with your service

—RL

I'm an owner/occupier with just one room for a lodger, so I'm not a "frequent flyer", but would just like to say that I've had 3 lodgers in a row from SpareRoom.co.uk in the last 2.5 years and they've all been great. So thanks for the service - I've tried other sites, but yours outstandingly gets the best results

—Sandre Jones

I found a fantastic housemate through SpareRoom.co.uk...lived with me for just under a year, we got on really well and she became a good friend as well as a housemate. We are still in touch 2 years later.

—LA

I can not praise spareroom highly enough for the quality of lodger that I found through your website. Well Done!

—TM

The last time I used SpareRoom I placed the ad and 20 mins later a viewing took place and the tenant moved in an hour later..... Wow !! I have to say the best tenant I have ever had, and a long and lasting friends will be had from now on. Unfortunately the tenant had to move away for work but we still keep in contact and meet up from time to time.

—AM

Great service, always happy to come back when I have vacancies!

—ML

It's a very successful way of advertising for a lodger, this is the 3rd time i have used SpareRoom.co.uk

—SN

Thanks to the great service offered by Spareroom, I found the perfect tenants in less than a fortnight.

—PB

I have successfully found my second lodger through your service. My first lodger has just found a new place to live through your service. It is clearly the best service on the web. Thank you! We are all very pleased!

—NS

Really pleased with the website - excellent to use and I had amazing responses from mostly very suitable candidates within hours. All very reliable and safe. Good work and thank you.

—ZK

A great place to find your flatmate - easy site to use.

—PF

I find that you offer a good service with thousands of people looking. Well done Spare Room

—KL

Fab service. I have had a great response in less than 24 hours. Three viewings lined up for today so hoping to conclude business soon....

—JB

Just want to say a BIG 'thank you' for running a brilliant website. I found my flatmate, Alison, through spareroom.co.uk in July after failing to find someone suitable through other, more conventional routes. I have had problems finding suitable flatmates in the past (the last one announced he wanted to run a massage business from the flat), but for the first time have found someone who is great to share with, a lovely person... best ever, a dream really!

—AB

Congratulations and thanks! I used your site to advertise a room to let and just wanted to let you know that in my opinion your site is everything such a site should be - helpful, courteous, and EFFECTIVE! I use another well-known, paid-for site as well, and it was just the opposite. I'll be singing your praises for some time to come!

—R Juer

Your site is just the best, found a lodger in 3 days - no hassle from agents etc, very clear and easy to understand, good information - thank you so much, I will recommend you to others

—B Colson

Many thanks for your services, we have just found a really pefect lodger, who seems equally happy to have found us. He was grateful for the amount of information contained in your adverts whch meant that he was able to narrow a very large field down to one, which i am glad to say was us. Thanks again for he service,

—Adrian

I received my first enquiry less than 24 hours after advertising my room with Spareroom.co.uk.

—J Barrie

I would like to thank you very much - I got a fantastic housemate and I think your site is excellent

—J Maher

I was very happy with the site - we were suited within two days of the advert appearing and I would definitely use it again

—B

I just wanted to say how useful I found your service. I went for the 1 month early bird and needn't have, it only took a week to find a perfect flatmate!

—Jessica

Really impressed with this site, within 24 hours of posting my room for rent I have already arranged 5 viewings

—SP

Just started using the service and found a flatmate within the first couple of days, BRILLIANT! Thank you.

—IC

I am very pleased with the SpareRoom service. I think having a video definitely makes a positive difference especially if it is a new and impressive property.

—JB

Thank you so much. I found tenants for my two rooms on the first day! Your website is excellent & I would definitely recommend it to a friend.

—JB

Great site, I have found a lodger within a week. Thanks for all your assistance, I'll definitely be using you again when I need to take on another lodger.

So, thank you and if I ever need to find a room again I know where to come. kind regards

—Annie Goodwin

—E Patrick

Hi Gemma, Yes, this is my email address but I actually found a fantastic place last night through your site, all in one day... am so grateful!!

—K Dunn

I found Spareroom.co.uk to be by far and away the quickest, easiest and most efficient way to comprehensively search for properties all over London, whatever one's price range may be. I just felt I must express my thanks for operating such an easy to use and, especially to those of us in need of urgent assistance in finding somewhere to live, an essential website! I can, will and would highly recommend Spareroom.co.uk to anyone looking for reasonably priced properties in London.

—J Denby

id like to say once again thank you for helping me find a room where i was looking. i was made redundant last year and had to move into a hostel as where i was didnt take dss. i have now found somewhere in a different location where there is work, and it is all down to the team at spareroom.co.uk.

—E Lawe

Thank you SpareRoom! You did it again! This is the 3rd time you've helped me find housemates or somewhere to live :)

—C Tompkins

Thankyou for putting up with me so long - I would have found a room sooner but got diverted trying to buy a flat which didn't happen.I have now found a room via Spareroom.Along the way I met some very interesting people some of whom I will stay in touch with and some know old music teachers of mine from over thirty years ago so nothing has been wasted in my prolonged search.A good site - and I also very quickly found a room for my daughter in Leeds when I needed to urgently last september - we only looked at one place out of the many and it was perfect for requirements.Would certainly go through you again and recommend you to others looking.

—R Harvey

Thanks for the web site, it's the best one. Simple, affordable and it works! 3 years ago I found a room with a great landlady - who became my friend, now I found a housemate! Thanks

—Agnie

I’m now training the newly unemployed executive, professional and graduate for the d.w.p. – I mention your site to approximately 20 to 30 people every week and show them round it – a great way for the unemployed to move cheaply around the country to get work out of their area.

—M Shaw

You have a made the daunting task of finding my first ever flatshare so simple and stressfree

—Shane

#ff @SpareRoomUK ...I can personally vouch for them being brilliant at what they do. Made my move to London really easy. Thanks guys :)

—Claire Banbury

I am really impressed with Student SpareRoom...the website told me everything I could have wanted to know about the properties on offer, and the sheer amount of information on each advert made the decisions regarding which adverts to gain more information on brilliant. I would definitely use again and would highly recommend. Thank you for a great service

—LD

Guys you're amazing!!! I've looked for a flat through your website twice and both times I got the perfect flatshare on the very first viewing and within 1-2 weeks since I started looking. I've found a "home" twice thanks to you! Keep up with the good job!

—Eleni Grammatikopoulou

thanks to all involved is basically what i wanted to say, i was moving back into the U.K from spain and this site has made it so much easier for me to find a place, so thank you.

—B Colson

I used your service to find a room near Ascot, Bracknell & Windsor during February. My requirements were not ideal: (Vietnamese partner and young child) but through your website I found almost exactly what I was looking for. You are providing an excellent service with an easy to use website. I will certainly be back again in future.

—C Arkle

Hi Spareroom! I just though i would email to say thanks. I found the prefect room in a lovely house with great flat mates and it only took 2 days! I will be recomending your site to any one i know looking to move house. Thanks again!

—H Alderson

I have found a room which I am happy with. I continue to visit your site on an adhoc basis to check out going rates. When I initally used your GREAT site I was doing my pricing research whilst looking for work, anyways I eventually found work which I started the next day after interview in a different area than where I was located, went on your site...bish bosh room found, moved in the following evening. Henceforth I recommend your site to others.

—Morgan

Just wanted to say how very good your service has been - miles better than the other 3 sites I was on! Don't know anyone currently looking but will certainly recommend you should anyone ask.

—Liz D

This is the most amazing service. I found a room within 5 minutes, I typed in my postcode and the room was in Park Street, just round the corner from where I lived. I phoned, went round to view and it was perfect. Thank you very much, I will use you again and recommend you to my friends. Congratulations and keep up the good work. There is such a huge need for this.

—Sheila

I must take a moment to thank you for this and the service SpareRoom provides. Took all the hardship out of looking for any sort of accommodation, especially when you consider I'm from outside the country. Found a number of places right from my workstation. Thanks again, great service

—Gary Wall

It was so easy, from start to finish and I had many offers. Have since moved house, but would definitely use again

—Sue

Thanks for this terrific service! intoLondon.com helped me find a lovely-looking flat months in advance. It's particularly helpful because I'm a PhD student visiting the UK in order to visit archives for six weeks, so I'm somewhere between a short and a long stay. This website was really ideal for me!

—Emma

Really excellent service. User friendly access and instant notification of new availabilities. Big thumbs up!

—WJ

I found the site really useful - particularly being able to search for Buddy Ups and filter my search based on 'pets allowed' - which is something a lot of other room rental sites don't offer. I'll definitely be using SpareRoom again in the future if I'm looking for shared accommodation.

—Lindsay

I found the site very easy to use, helpful and well laid out and successful, in that I found my perfect room!

—BW

Hi, Just wanted you to know I work for a business and was looking to find someone for a Dutch trainee to stay with and your site solved all my problems! Think it's great, really impressed!

—J Preston

I met a nice family, a lovely room in Bicester. Good service, really!

Your website is extremely good & I'm very pleased with the time it took to find somewhere, also the replies to my advert were numerous, thank you I will definitely recommend you.

—P Caddy

I thought your service was excellent and I'd definitely use you again

—Kate

Thank you so much, I found just what I was looking for, I am very relieved and very grateful. I also got plenty of choices so was able to choose wisely

—JTH

Thank you for your quick response to my query. I was most pleased with the service/website provided by SpareRoom...if i need to move again I will definitely use your site and service

—Mark

Thank you SpareRoom! I found my current room using only your site and I am very pleased with it.

—IS

I think that your website is excellent and by far the best of the ones I used to find a room.

—MH

What professional landlords have said

I've tried newspapers, magazines, trade newspapers and estate agents. All were useless and expensive! I now only advertise on the internet. 90-95% of my tenants (who actually sign up and move in) come from the Spareroom website. I do use other sites but they are nowhere near as good or more importantly as profitable as using SpareRoom.

—Alistair Lawes, Rooms in Birmingham

We advertise on a number of different websites and in other media trying to find and target potential tenants for our rooms and consistently Spareroom provides not only the highest amount of enquiries but also the highest quality as well. It certainly provides the best results for us.

—Neil Mansell, Franchise Partner & Mentor, Platinum Property Partners LLP

Sold again, within 24 hours...your website makes me feel the urge to buy more rental properties!!! Thanks again!

—Clare

I have 2 properties and the rooms have always been filled by tenants from SpareRoom. I'm so impressed by your site, the friendly staff, the bits of info I get from you, the leaflets etc. Basically, from my heart thank you for this site and you all do a wonderful job.

—N Khan

SpareRoom is awesome. I now have a viewing every 15mins from 5.45pm until 9pm tomorrow. If both rooms aren't let I'll eat my deposit receipt!

—Martin Skinner

I've used SpareRoom three times and have always had several suitable tenants to choose from. It's a great way to discuss things and get to know the tenants before wasting time with viewings.

—M Jones

I'm a full-time property investor. I started investing in property about 4 years ago and back then I found it extremely difficult, simply because none of the local lettings agents wanted to help me let out my property on a room by room basis. They said it was not profitable enough for them and it was too time-consuming. Luckily for me I stumbled upon a website called SpareRoom.co.uk and, as I recall, I put an ad on the website on the Wednesday and by the following Monday all my rooms were let. I've used SpareRoom ever since then and shall continue to use them in future.

—Cyril Thomas

The service is excellent. I have used SpareRoom for the last 3 years as my main advertising site and have always found it to be a great asset

—Sarah Hopes

I have been very impressed with the number of leads I have received from SpareRoom, plus the cost for 1 year advertising is very reasonable

—SH

I have booked a years supply of advertising because I have 8 houses & need to advertise for rooms quite regularly! I think it is brilliant value for money & I always get interesting people from SpareRoom.co.uk so thank you very much

—LG

I advertise all my properties with you when I have rooms available. I recommend your site all the time you have the better quality tenant!

—SR Bilsby-Vint Properties

You have got it sorted. Great site, works well, very cost effective. Filled a 4 bed house in 2-3 weeks, good quality tenants too. Top work, will you use you exclusively for my other properties. Well done.

—JD

Feedback on our customer service...

Your phone support is excellent. Thank you very much for your patience and going out of your way to help me. So much better than most help lines! Thanks again!

Great thanks for your help - its great when I call I don't speak to machines and its great when I email I always get a response quickly GREAT SET UP

—S Quoilin

I would just like to say that I think your site is fantastic. It caters for everyone's needs i have used this site for the past 3 years to rent out my rooms, and to find accommodation for myself, I was given sound advice by one of your colleagues(Customer Service team)which I use all the time. You make it easy for tenants and landlords alike and I have just let out one of my rooms again today after a week of advertising on your site and I just wanted to say a big thanks.

—L Brown

I cannot thank Becky enough for her helpful advice in getting me a super flatshare. She is an outstanding example of high performing customer service and I have recommended your site to several people as a direct result of this

—Jeanette L

Thank you very much for your prompt answer and action. have a very nice day!

—J Wallace

—N Kashishian

Thank you so much for responding to my email....many sites do not. I would also like to thank you for your part in the security... I appreciate that you do all you can in order to help us all.

Keep up the good work!

—J Cameron

Many thanks for your thoughtful and detailed response.

—C Zeital

That is great, thank you so much for your prompt reply and the information, it will be very useful. Most companies seem to have just ignored my enquiries so I will make sure I recommend spareroom.co.uk to students and anyone I come across looking to use such a service. Regards and thanks,

—M Sullivan

A big thank-you to Gemma and all the team at spareroom. I am really grateful for the hard work you all put in. I have found a lovely tenant for our flat - and - as always - your service has been amazing. We have had a lot of really high quality enquiries.

I had tried other sites, but find you much easier for people to get in touch, and staff being very helpful answering any questions I ask, so I will never use any other site again.

Miscellaneous feedback

Great site, great service. Only wish I'd got more involved with our advertising myself years ago.

—M Taylor, Shareshack

I would like to say that your site has been of utter brilliance and ease of use. Thank you

—L Polito

This site is a work of genius!! The Show Interest function is such a good idea - if only they did sites like this for whole-property-rentals...

—C Malcolm

Ease of use: 10 out of 10! Feedback: 10 out of 10! I used 5 search engines to look for best 1/2 a dozen or so relevant sites, and you stood head and shoulders above the rest when it came to what I wanted, i.e., results!!!

—Richard

I found your site after missing the advert deadline for our local paper but would never go back now as I always find someone in under a week from your website. Excellent website and excellent customer service as well. Thanks

—N Melly

I shall let you know the progress. Thank you, very well run and user friendly website, congratulations. rgds

—M Woodward

Just to let you know that I have already recommended spareroom to several people on the strength of my experience of the site.

—S Martin

Thank you very much. This is an excellent service.

—R Joy

Thanks and I find your service very effective.

—p murphy

Spareroom is the facebook of the flatshare world! I love the 'profile' element of listings in particular (plus the cleanliness of the design). Thank you!

—A Davis

Hi, just wanted to say thanks for what I reckon has got to be one of the best flatmate finding websites there is! You get so many responses (which is whats great about the site!) Take it easy, thanks again!

—M Owen

thanks so much this service is brilliant

—l gale

Thank you once again for the excellent service you offered. I only wish all my dealings were as professional as yours.

—C Yates

I would be lost without this site. It is brilliant. All your work to keep it so is much appreciated.

—M Flanagan

Thanks very good site, in a nut shell ... spareroom is the bees knees. I 'm always happy to come back to you

—F. Salope

This is the second time I have used SpareRoom.co.uk and have been able to let my rooms really quickly - thankyou SpareRoom you do an excellent job!

—S Coulson

I have found Spareroom to be an excellent site which provides a safe and efficient service. Thank you very much.

—L Bendziunaite

I love your service and recommend it to anyone!

—Alan

Thank you - what a great site - will def recommend to friends!

—J. Schnell

Just wanted to say how impressed I have been by your web site I will recommend it to all my friends !

—Jane Mckenna

Just wanted to say a big... thank you. For helping us get our new roomie. I think the website is great...it's easy to use and it really works so Thank you x

—Annie

Just thought I'd let you know your website www.intoLondon.com is great! I love how it looks modern, professional and the fact it is easy to navigate.

—H Bird

Great website...I've used it many times and always been very satisfied

—M Gallacher

Great easy to use very friendly website - love it!

—DL

I feel that you have good standards and ethics which encourages those seeking housing to look at your site (I used to work in housing)

—Jean McLachlan

I just would like to let you know how much I appreciate your service, so far it's definitely the best one I've used, looking for a room or a flatmate to share. Your website makes sense, because it enables people to post an advert and make contact for free, and I think the price for upgrading to Early Bird is the right one. Most of other services became an archive of old adverts and users who can't contact each other without paying at least £20, without a possibility of a refund, and with the worst customer service ever. Once again many thanks for the way your website works

—EK

I find the web site exceptionally easy to use, I am very happy that it works well and is easy and uncomplicated

—Maria

It is a fine service at a fair price and has worked well for us in the past

—RD

I actually think that the way you run the site is fantastic. You are extremely flexible. So far nothing but positive comments

—MM

The best organised site and the most easy to use

—Anne C

Excellent easy to use service. One payment, no confusing hidden renewals, can switch your advert on or off according to demand. Highly recommended

—Caroline

Brilliant site! I wanted an unusual arrangement - to rent the use of someone's kitchen very locally for a month while the builders extend my house. Bingo! Found someone 5 minutes away, with parking, practically next door to where I do my food shopping. Thank you so much.

—EN

Just want to say thanks to everyone at SpareRoom. Your site is by far the easiest, most comprehensive and best value on the net. Cheers - see you next year!!!

—Elaine

So far a very professional service and I will recommend it to others and may be using you in the future

—AC

Its a great website, gives quick results!

—MH

Awesome service

—GM

It is a very easy website to use and when I have found a flatmate in the past, I can just make my advert not live and I do not loose my advert which is good

—EF

I think that you are doing a good job, SpareRoom is amazing - I think that you are the best!!

—PS

SpareRoom is really good!

—ZB

The Services provided by the SpareRoom website have proved very useful so far, and are also much cheaper to use than any other sites of this nature. So I would definitely recommend this Site to anyone else out there who is either letting a room or wants to rent one

—JW

Great service, Good website. Thanks

—MF

The site is great and I only use this one to advertise my rooms as it is so simple

—MW

So simple to get results using the site. Having interest shortly after posting & contacting suitable people is so easy & convenient, would recommend 5*!!!

—BS

Very good service, its the best accommodation site out there

—AS

Excellent. Cannot keep pace with enquiries

—PC

Thanks for this. I am very careful in protecting our tenants and ourselves from frauds of this kind. We always check references, personally interview the potential tenant, get them to meet the other tenants and then make a decision. It has worked out very well for the past three years, particularly since I started using spareroom.co.uk to get my tenants.

—A Kelman

By the way, intolondon is really a convenient site for it enables users to save their shortlists and correspondence.

—H Tran

Thank you everything has worked out great..I will certainly promote this site...

—G Maddock

Thank you very much and I love the new site

—D Riley Buckley

Thanks. Is this site your brain child? if so good on you!!

—J Mensah

Great service. Very professional and pleasing to use. Thank you

—T Pinnock

I must say Im very impressed with the website, and the prices are very reasonable, I shall be recommending you to friends.

—Bex

Firstly I want to say thank you for such a website. Without it I wouldn't have met my girlfriend or been able to do the job that I do now. I am indebted to you considerably! (Please feel free to use that as a quote on your website)

—Oli Morris

I used this site before and had great results. Keep it up!!

—EG

It's an excellent service. I have recommended it to people in a similar situation as me and they have also used it

—KP

Love it, so handy so easy

—KW

I am most impressed by Spare Room and recommend your services very highly to others.

—AA

Thank you for your service, I have found a place and so can only give a thumbs up to your service - thanks again.

—MD

Love it, so handy so easy.

—KW

You've got a great site and I have often recommended it.

—DS

Excellent response from the site. I think it's a great service and works very well - many thanks for your help

—JH

Just to say that SpareRoom again proved to be an excellent way to find a house-share lodger. Very user-friendly especially using Early Bird which in my opinion is an essential option and in fact was the main reason for the success. Thanks.

—T Sharman

I've moved 3 times within London & SpareRoom.co.uk have never failed me.. it's worth the price =) Found a place within 4 days!

—Prad Prathivi

I found upgrading to Early Bird particularly useful in my search for a room. It made it a lot easier to contact people and was definitely value for money. Thank you

—J McKinven

It was very good! I would always upgrade to Early Bird from now on!!!! Your service is very good and the result was excellent!

—Charlene

I am absolutely delighted with your service. I have been looking for a room in St Albans whilst living in Inverness and without being able to travel to see the the room. Your site has helped me to find a room with a sense of security and without danger of being ripped off. I have been in touch with my future landlord and found a lovely room quickly, easily and without stress, AND I know it's a genuine arrangement. I am very,very pleased and you are welcome to every penny of the £19 I paid you for earlybird access.

—JA

I registered a few weeks ago and also took advantage of the Early Bird service, which I would recommend to anyone. I am due to move into a fabulous flat that I found on your site later this week

—Shane

I was in desperate need of a place to live as I didn't want to commute and I had already started a new job away from home. My search was getting desperate and - as I needed a place that was willing to take a couple - my choice was limited. Early Bird allowed me to contact possible flatmates quickly as I was available to move in immediately and I could explain my situation and hope they'd be open to the possibility of a double tenancy. I found SpareRoom extremely useful, especially as I could limit criteria and be very specific.

—Rowan Davies

Thanks for enabling me to find a good house share. Early Bird meant I was able to get ahead of the competition.

—Mary Mochrie

Early Bird probably gave us an edge, I also think renewing the advert so that it stays at the top of the page is a good idea too. My friend is now thinking of letting a room in his house and I've passed your details to him.

—Heather Wylde

Early Bird really got things moving to the point I was spoiled for choice - very happy with your service and have mentioned it to several friends and family . Will be back if need new lodgers in future

—A King

I had no contact until I upgraded to Early Bird, then I had several enquiries and was really pleased. Unlike Gumtree, the people that contacted me were 'good' tenants that I'd be happy to live with, often graduates and people relocating for work. The site is easy to use...I'd definitely use SpareRoom.co.uk again and would recommend it

—LH

Upgrading to early-bird helped immensely, I found a room within 2 days! I have used your site repeatedly and I have recommended many of my friends to use it - It is definitely the best website for finding a place by far. All the menus are easy to use, and it is so simple to contact landlords. Next time I need to move, you can guarantee I will be back. You have a customer for life!

—HG

Everything about the upgrade seemed to benefit me so thank you very much, I'll recommend it to anyone in need of the service

—CK

Hi, I reluctantly splashed out on your "early bird" account. £14 for 2 weeks. Not something I would normally spend my money on. After searching for weeks, within 1 day of upgrading my account I have found the perfect room! Please let people know that purchasing the upgrade actually works and is not just a scam like I thought it was. Cheers Spareroom, Tom :)

—TS

I just wanted to say this site is FANTASTIC! I placed my bold advert on a Wednesday morning and within 20 minutes i had several calls and emails. In the end ive had 34 emails, 15 people interested and endless calls. Amazing - go BOLD! Best thing since electric windows! :)

—J

I placed an advert for a housemate on SpareRoom.co.uk and, after a couple of days with plenty of views but no enquiries, I decided to upgrade to a bold listing. Literally within an hour of doing this, I received a phone enquiry and just a few short hours later I was welcoming a new housemate into my house. Coincidence? Maybe, but I can't speak highly enough of my SpareRoom.co.uk experience as a result!

—Steve

Upgrading my ad certainly made a difference in finding tenants quickly. Many thanks

—T Maltese

I only had two weeks to find someone so having the upgrade to a bold ad really made a difference - we had so many enquiries the auto-response option came in very handy!

—KP

It made a big difference upgrading to bold/early bird. I have since had so many responses to the advertisement, that when another room became vacant it was filled within 2 days. I have been away for a week and un-contactable, and the amount of responses that I received during that time was amazing. I will definitely be using SpareRoom again and will immediately use your bold/early bird service. Thanks for everything.

—Laura

Love spare room - love bold ads - thank you, thank you, thank you

—FYB

I just wanted to thank you for such a professional service. I have found a great couple to move in the flatshare I was advertising in less than 3 days. The site is very easy to use and £9.00 for Bold Advertising for the week is great value.

—John Bacon

I would like to thank you for such a fantastic service. I signed up on Monday and had 2 of the 3 room filled by Friday. And all this for a mere £9. I have told everyone about this site. So many thanks and just 1 room to go.

—A Becker

It's £18 for 28 day listing on SpareRoom.co.uk - had over 100 interested parties & booked in 17 viewings! Of course rooms both let in 1 day! WOW

—Clare Rayner

A great site which, when I upgraded enabled me to find a large number of properties to view. Upgrading certainly helped as it meant that other members could see my telephone number, and the room that I eventually took contacted me that way, rather than through the site or email. However, it's good that you can sign up without paying first, because that allowed me to have a look at peoples adverts and see if there was anything that interested me. As there was, I signed up. I was also using easyroommate.com and found that flatshare.com was much better - it gave a lot more information, regarding the housemates, bills, deposit etc, and worked out cheaper

—S Lee

—S Lee

I want to thank SpareRoom because it has been cheaper to advertise through you than my local paper. My ads there were attracting the wrong sort of lodgers so I was burning so much in advertising - about £100 over a few weeks and not finding a suitable lodger.

—M Piercy

Thank you very much for your help. This has been so easy. I tried a couple of other sites which were recommended to me, with almost no response. This time I had a great deal of interest, and have let the room within a fortnight. I will be coming back to you when I need to replace my new lodger. It was worth the money for the upgrade.

—L Mallet

It seems like a really good service - I have already had a few responses from only putting it on last night. Would definitely recommend 'Going Bold' to other people.

—AB

Thank you, the upgrading really helped and it is much quicker to find someone - room filled within a week!

—JM

Thanks to SpareRoom we managed to fill both a 6 bed and a 10 bed house in a matter of weeks! Really pleased with the response rate and how effective the Bold advertising is. Really good value for money!

—SLM

The 1st week we didn't get anybody through the door but plenty of people clicked on the advert - as soon as I upgraded to a bold advert, I was inundated with phone calls and viewings. Many thanks for an excellent service.

—Stephen

I upgraded yesterday and instantly had an email, viewing today and verbal agreement for someone moving in next weekend

—Jayne

I have definitely had more interest since going Bold

—JC

Before I upgraded I had 4-5 views a day, the day I upgraded I had an email in an hour and 42 views and 1 person viewed my property!! Pleased with the outcome

—Luke

I have been more successful in the past when I have chosen to upgrade my ad and so now every time I re-post it, I always ensure that I upgrade.

—CB

Thank you for your very good service. My flat in Glasgow has now been taken by one person who saw it on your website. It was in Bold display for 1 week and therefore could be accessed easily by anybody

—RL

I decided to make my advert 'Bold' and I have to say it did seem to make a difference, I got a new housemate within the week. I am very pleased and you have a very satisfied customer. If I need to advertise my room again I will definitely pay to have the bold advert right from the start

—Sarah

It made a dramatic difference to my replies when I upgraded to bold and I think it was the reason I let my room so quickly. I originally did it to contact someone but didn't realise how effective it would be

—JW

Since upgrading had lots of responses and now have three people who I really like - all want the room and I can't make a decision!!

—PM

Good value for money - I noticed an immediate improvement in numbers and quality of responses! Many thanks

—ES

Thank you so much, a great response to my ad and successfully found someone - well worth my payment - great value for money!

—TE

I had a great experience using SpareRoom.co.uk, within 24 hours of placing the ad I had arranged 6 viewings and from that found the perfect housemate. Upgrading was essential to do this as it allowed me to contact free members and also respond to people who had indicated their interest. Although I may have found someone without upgrading I imagine it would have taken a lot longer and given that I needed to find a new housemate within a month I didn't want to mess around taking ages over viewings etc. The email alerts were particularly useful as I was able to respond to any messages instantly. I would certainly recommend SpareRoom.co.uk and would use the site again should I need to in the future.

—Sophie

Well I am impressed. Bold advertising worked very well with a lot of interest, including 8 firm enquiries and 2 tenants already in place. I am very pleasantly surprised and pleased. I'll be back.

—MS

The number of responses I had to my advert increased when I upgraded my advert. I think pictures helped too.

—ES

Hi, the main reason to upgrade? all the four options are my priority. I think your service is excellent!

—EW

More than 100+ direct enquiries... Amazing, Ive let 9 rooms in a week and a half!

—A Montague

It's absolutely revolutionised the way we let our rooms now... it's very cheap and cost effective and there are some handy little tools & gadgets you can use to monitor how well your advertising campaigns are running...It's also very easy to use. it results in probably 3 times more enquiries than I was getting before I started using the cost per click campaign...and it's working, it really really is. My lettings manager is finding that he's getting on average 3 to 4 times the enquiries that he would get for the same ad spend with another website

—A Montague

In less than twenty four hours of adding the photographs ...I have now rented my room and the lodger has moved in today.. Once again thank you spareoom.co.uk my past three house mates have all been found from spareroom and they have all been brilliant! Please use my testimonial as I'd recommend your site to anyone.

—L Horton

About our video feature

I definitely recieved lots more interest in my add after uploading a video, and will certainly be using the feature whenever I advertise again.

—V Alder

Well done on the excellent video feature enhancement. Streets ahead of the competition! Awesome !

—A Asker

We thought it was a great idea having a video streaming system on the site. We had thought of designing our own website and featuring videos and panoramic pictures of our vacant rooms but after we saw yours it fitted the bill. Thanks for featuring it on the home page

—V

How we compare to our competitors

Hi Carol, I just wanted to say thank you for your prompt reply to my query earlier this week. I have advised my son to use the website as the house-share he is currently in is looking for someone. I told him last week of this website as I was so impressed to get a response within a day of posting my advert, whilst I got nothing for weeks (nearly 2 months) with gumtree. He told me tonight found the site very good and he posted an ad too. This is a real nice website, so easy to use, visually very fresh and uncomplicated. Thanks again. Kind regards,

—B Carter

I had registered with a rival database a few months ago which, although recorded a number of 'hits' against my listing, had not really translated them into bodies through the door. However, it may also have been because I wasn't using photographs. My experience with you has been a lot more positive. The first thing is that when we had removed a listing, we got a phone call from one of you saying 'is there a problem, can we help?' This was much appreciated. The second thing that we really liked was the facilities for managing selection criteria on the database, both for us and for them. The third thing we liked was the ability of the automatically generated correspondence to break down responses and possible leads according to widened criteria. Once again, many thanks and a toast to your database architect.

—J Keeley

I was also using easyroommate.com and found that flatshare.com was much better - it gave a lot more information, regarding the housemates, bills, deposit etc, and worked out cheaper

—S Lee

Once again I have successfully found a lodger for my room through SpareRoom.co.uk. This time I also tried advertising with another couple of sites. What a nightmare, difficult to navigate, longwinded to send and receive message and nothing could be done without paying very high fees. SpareRoom is definitely the best, easiest and most user friendly site and I will not be trying the other sites when I need a new lodger in future. Thank you SpareRoom

—Alison

As an American who has been victimized by scanners on Craig's List, I've become very aware of their existence. It's always easy to identify them because their minimal command of the English language, and their request to either use Western Union or deposit a check of their issuance, are dead giveaways. Thanks for being on top of this. I am ever so pleased with my new "home," found thanks to your website. I am a PR professional and as such, I must tell you I am very impressed with your operation.

—M Rich

I've rented my room today! It has taken a while but I'd like to thank you for your great site, it's way superior to others. I will definitely be back when I need to rent again Many thanks, keep up the good work

—Jan Walters

Nice site - easier to use in comparison to other simialar room rental sites

—JB

Having tried Gumtree and local free papers in the past with disappointing results, my usual tactic used to be the local newsagents. However your website has been very impressive and I already have one person viewing the room today and your continuous progress reports are a breath of fresh air

—John

You have a very good web site, much better than all the others, keep up the good work

—JM

Unlike Gumtree, the people that contacted me were 'good' tenants that I'd be happy to live with, often graduates and people relocating for work. The site is easy to use...I'd definitely use SpareRoom.co.uk again and would recommend it

—LH

More user friendly and up to date than other sites and better priced

—NB

Your website is absolutely excellent. Incredibly user-friendly, fast and efficient as well as being secure for emails. Much better than Gumtree

—Ann

Early bird offer was good as most of the results that matched my criteria were included. This site was by far the best and easiest to use.

—ID-K

Just wanted to say I was really impressed with the service and found lots of potential housemates. I also signed up to a couple of other websites and have got to say that SpareRoom was much better at attracting a good match (with far more normal people too!) Many thanks - I would use in the future and recommend to others.

—Hollie

Spare Room is an excellent, user friendly, well run website. So much nicer than gumtree! Early Bird was well worth the money too! If I ever need a room again Spare Room will be my first choice and I will sign up for Early Bird Straight away!

—Louise

I found Spareroom much easier, trustworthy and much better to use than gumtree and would use the site again.

—C Cooper

What people have said about our SpeedFlatmating® events

an ingenious hybrid of speed dating and that all-important flatmate interview... now there is light at the end of the flat-hunting tunnel.

—The Independent

It's a work of genius, because it recognises that it's the people you are going to live with that are important, rather than the space you are moving into.

—The Wharf

...there was something very comfortable about chatting face-to-face that beat the normal flat-hunting conversation by email via internet searches. Questions about room size and distance from the Tube seemed a lot easier without the glare of a computer screen...

—The Observer

The evening was fantastic, I was really worried I would feel stupid standing around waiting to talk to people but everyone at the event was so friendly and willing to talk...The event was value for money, £5 for the event and drink was excellent. Will be attending the next one for definite if I have not found a room by then.

—R Buckle

Thanks for a great event yesterday - it was really useful...the atmosphere was very friendly and relaxed, it wasn't difficult to speak to people and get talking.

—S King

Hi, I thought your event worked brilliantly. Location, pricing, event organisation, timing, venue etc were all good...I would definitely attend another one if we are still looking for a flatmate.

—M Williams

Speed flatmating was excellent. Met a number of different people from different houses/flats to rent, in different areas, all in one location. So no travelling around the city. People with flats to rent were organised and informative - bringing photos, listing their rental amount on signs. I scheduled several appointments and ended up visiting a flat straight after the speed flatmating event - and I ended up taking the flat and am still living there 10 months later and am good friends with the girls i moved in with.

—Leila

Speedflatmating helped me believe again, that someone out there would be interested in my flat. I'm very glad I attended. When I'm looking for a flatmate again and feeling stuck, I will definitely return to Speedflatmating.

—Deva

I have attended twice, once to find a place and once to off load the place. Both times i had more fun than a general night at the pub. Mostly due to the licence to just go up and talk to anyone there. When i was looking for a place i was justifiably nervous with using gumtree due to scams. I found it much more reassuring meeting real people. Of most benefit was getting to meet a lot of people in a short time with minimal effort. I personally like to choose where I live by the people first and then the place. So it was good to see if you get along with those peddling their place. That night resulted in successfully finding a good place to live.

—Harold

The event was a huge success for me. I had already spoken to a few people via the spareroom website, and arranged to meet them in person at the event. It was clear on meeting one of the girls that we got along very well; and we are still living happily together.

—Edd

Basically, I moved to London about 6 months ago to start a new job and after having the luxury of being able to stay with my father for the first couple of months I did eventually want to move out. I was recommended coming to speedflatmating by a friend and after him registering us, I came along to Gigalum in Clapham South one evening. I was pleasantly surprised about how relaxed it was and I thought the setup and organisation of the event was excellent. I actually did meet my current flatmates through the event and live and get on well with them now. I was there recently as well looking for a new flatmate as one is moving out and again I had a successful evening. I would definitely come back in the future should I be looking again and I just hope it is successful enough to expand into other areas and give other people a great opportunity to network and find flatmates.

—Robert

—The Times

I attended the Speed Flatmating event at Ruby Blue last Wednesday and, although I didn't find a flat, I thought the whole event was great and I got to meet lots of people in a very social atmosphere. It was well organised and your staff were extremely helpful and friendly.

—Shane

It was a fun night and I made a couple good contacts that I hope will come have a look at my flat.

—K Richards

Dear Gemma, The event was my first time at speedflatmating and I am glad to report that you were gentle & considerate with me! I found the event to be well organised in a good, central, suitably sized venue that generated a decent atmosphere. The split of north and south of the river was a good idea. Overall the event was quite entertaining...value for money and well organised.

—R Hanson

The concept is fantastic

—Lina

Well organised and good events to go to with no pressure or awkward atmosphere...

—Jane

Safe atmosphere, friendly and clear - everyone knows what they are looking for/after

—Laura

Great opportunity to meet new people, comfortable, relaxed and safe environment to meet potential new housemates

—George

Fun and well organised

—Beth

I really enjoyed the night and meeting new people is always fun. I liked the format of it being less formal and really just a drinks reception.

—Daniel

I attended the Speed Flatmating event last Thursday and really enjoyed it! I was looking for a room to rent as I'm starting a job in Central London, however I currently live in Devon and the prospect of hunting for rooms on my weekends off filled me dread!! The event was a fantastic way of chatting to potential flatmates without there being pressure to make a decision about the room like there would be on a normal viewing! I met a number of really nice people (both looking for a room and offering a room) and felt comfortable chatting to just about everyone...the location was great and really easy to get to. All members of the spareroom.co.uk staff were fantastic, really approachable and friendly. The pricing of the event was just right; I liked the fact that confidence could be heightened with a free drink! I was so pleased I attended the event and as a result have found a place to move in to, so a big big thank you for organising the night.

—H Lee

Excellent service

—Mr D Williams

Didn't go to speedflatmating event in the end as I found an excellent room with your website the night I was supposed to go. I have recommended speedflatmating to others at work & even a woman I met on a train who was in the same position

—Jon

I would highly recommend the website to anyone looking to rent a room or looking for a room. It's safe, professional and so simple

—KP

As an American who has been victimized by scammers on other sites, I've become very aware of their existence. It's always easy to identify them because their minimal command of the English language, and their request to either use Western Union or deposit a check of their issuance, are dead giveaways. Thanks for being on top of this. I am ever so pleased with my new "home," found thanks to your website. I am a PR pofessional and as such, I must tell you I am very impressed with your operation.

—M Rich

Many thanks for your email warning me of the potential scam advert that I recently contacted. It's funny how it's the first advert that I've seen on your site that seemed to good to be true. I had my doubts and showed a friend that also advised to be cautious as seemed to good, and then to receive your email just backs up my suspicions. It is really nice to know that SpareRoom.co.uk truly do look out for their users. I would also like to take this opportunity to thank all those at SpareRoom for a truly amazing and user friendly service and I would not hesitate to recommend your site to others. Great work.

—Alan C

Your site has been great! It's safe, easy to use and has produced excellent results for me very speedily!

—Maggie Jamieson

Your site has helped me to find a room with a sense of security and without danger of being ripped off. I have been in touch with my future landlord and found a lovely room quickly, easily and without stress, AND I know it's a genuine arrangement

—JA

My lodger is a perfect gentleman. I have always had a very positive result from your site as have my friends that have used it too. Well done for setting up a site that works, so much so that everyone in my experience appears to be honest

—TS

I like your site, it is easy to handle, safe and very tidy. Thank you

—RL

The updates were great and being able to tell people that the room had been taken was so simple with your automatic response option

—Kali P

It was testimonials from other users that encouraged me to use Spareroom, and I'm really glad that I did!

—Jessica

I like very much the orange and blue boxes to differentiate between enquiries and responses. Nice touch and it makes it easier to read.

—M Gallacher

I think the iphone app is brilliant. Saves me a lot of time

—EW

Love the site. The best feature is being able to buy a package that allows me to pause my ad

I think you have one of the best sites for ease of use I have encountered.

This website is great. The best I've used. The email alerts and advanced search are always spot on.

Speedflatmating became all the rage in London

—The Times - Bricks & Mortar

For many people renting somewhere to live is the only option, particularly if they are taking a job in a new city or town and don’t know how it will go so we thought we’d put together a review of one of the best flatmate and house share websites available, called Spareroom.co.uk we’ve taken a bit of time to look at the site and also checked out feedback from users. About The Website Spareroom has been specifically designed to put renters in touch with each other, the one thing you notice about the site is that it is about people rather than places which we liked. Users can either advertise a room or post a room request by simply registering on the site. The profiles for each let you set preferences such as pets etc as well as tell accommodation hunters what the costs are. Searching the website is really easy and you can do it without registering (which is free anyway!!), just put in what you are looking for and where and hey presto the right sort of places come up. The added advantage to using the site rather than just going to a traditional letting agency is that it gives you a chance to check out your potential housemates. What We Thought We liked the spareroom.co.uk website as it was very easy to use and has thousands (if not millions of users) so the choice is endless. The searches are pretty easy to use and the amount of information you can access is spot on which means no more endless wandering from rental agent to rental agent. We’ve made the website one of top rated and it’s the first for 2011 !!! If you are looking for a new place to live and want to hook up with people who share your ideals take a look at spareroom.co.uk.
