From those with accommodation to let...
Wow! Thanks to your website I managed to let my spare room within 1 hour of placing the ad! Thanks for the great service!
I filled 6 out of my 7 rooms through you. It has been the most fantastic place to advertise and shall always use you in the future. Hopefully it won't be for another 6 months now as they are all on contracts. The callibre of the applicants was brilliant and they are all very happy together. Thank you for everything.
Thanks for a great service Managed to fill the room in no time
Your website is brilliant! Within 2 hours I have received my first viewing!
i have deleted the ad now as my new flatmate moved in yesterday. thanks so much, i had an amazing response to the ad. and no freaky people contacting me either! your website is miles better than any i have used before. thanks loads
Hi, thanks for letting me use Spareroom.co.uk it's amazing! I've never had so many hits from an advert, and I'm an estate agent by day! Excellent service! Thanks
Thank you for your service once again. This is an excellent website. The flat found a great tennant within 24 hours.
What a brilliant site, I have been trying to rent out 2 rooms for the last few months with little success, this medium really worked well both rooms are now taken and it only took 10 days - many thanks.
Cheers Gemma - all sorted within 48hrs of placing ad
I just want to say how fabulous your site is.... since joining your site I could have filled my room 3 times over - thanks a million!!!
Thank you for your message - once again your site has come up trumps - all rooms taken within 1 week of refreshing advert last month so no need to renew just yet but will when need to and have been spreading the word. Thank you (and the rest of your team) very much.
Thank you for your help & for your wonderful site. We have managed to find a very nice tenant - keep up the good work and thank you!
I am please to tell you that I have let my room to the first person who came to view it. He was a spareroom.co.uk Earlybird. Thank you very much for your help. I will definitely use your excellent site again the next time I need to let the room.
Excellent website - the only comprehensive one around. Found a flatmate using this service and all for free! Thumbs up! ;-)
Yeah this service is great. I found the perfect house mate through this site in only 3 days!!!! I would recommend this to any one who is thinking of renting or letting. all the best
Advertised room in shops, local rag etc No joy! Advertised here and had 5 responses in 3 days. I mailed back 1st person and he moved in 5 days later. Brilliant, hassle free and will use again for future rooms... cheers
Excellent site, always rent out the rooms within 10 days.
Thanks for your site - after 5 days had a lot of suitable responses and successfully let the room.
Thanks for your service, I am very happy. I have found a new house mate within 24 hours of the add going up. Thnaks so much.
Just a quick line to let you know how impressed I was with the site. I found a flatmate within a few days. Thanks!
Bravo! I found the perfect person for my room to let the very next day! I have just placed another ad with you for another property - your ads seem to really work! Thank you!
What a wonderful service! I advertised the room this morning, and secured a tenant this afternoon - brilliant! Thank you all so much for your efficient service
Thank you so much for your website - the day my room to let went on there, I had lots of calls, and let the room the same day. I will definitely use you again - Thanks again.
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
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.
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.
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
I want to thank spareroom.co.uk - we had very good responses to our advert and the rooms are now booked for rental.
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.
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
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!
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.
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
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
Thankyou for providing a great service. I quickly found a suitable tennant. keep up the good work!
the room has been taken for the next few months, thanks to your website!
Thank you very much for all your help so far. I've managed to find someone!!!! I will certainly use your services again if I need too in the near future.
Full house at the moment, a good website and very fast.
Many thanks... I got many replies through your website and will definitely use the site again.
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.
...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
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.
Thanks for the use of your site, superb response and now found a lodger, cheers
Thanks for the follow up we have now let it and will definitely use you again.
I had a great response from the site and should it become available again I will place another ad with you. Many Thanks,
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!!
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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.
My spare room is now let. This was via my advert on your website. Many thanks for all your help.
Thank you very much, found someone last night, Spareroom's been brilliant!!
Great service - this is the second time a suitable tenant has taken my accommodation.
Thank you very very much indeed. I have found one very good lodger from your website. I am eternally grateful.
I pleased to say that thanks to your excellent service I have now found a new lodger. I will advise my friends to use you as its been most helpful. Cheers
Once again I have been successful through spareroom advert in finding a suitable occupant. Thank you so much for you help.
Many thanks I had loads of interest and have found someone to rent my room. What a great service.
great, got lots of responses! and have a room mate now. thanks.
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 !
Thank you so much !!! I found a perfect lodger almost immediately !
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
Hi! I have found a flatmate, it took just a few hours since I put the advert. I will count on you again in the future. Thanks.
H Gemma, john and martin here with your HELP we have let the room in double quick time THANKS I will now take it off your page !! and will tell how good your sight is thanks once again
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.
Hello my room has now gone, website has been amazing had loads of really good applicants. Many thanks
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
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.
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.
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.
From those looking for accommodation...
Its a brilliant site. I found a room from France and was living in it it within 3 days!!! I always tell everyone about spare room.

Thanks very much for the email. I'm very impressed by your attention to detail. Many thanks again... much appreciated!
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.

Hi Carol, thank you for your quick answer. Your speed and answers give me lots of confidence in your site :o) Thanx,
Thanks for your help Carol, you have all been v efficient and I wish I had found you before I placed my ad in the local paper!
This is SUCH an impressive website/service. I have never ever enjoyed such pleasant, user-friendly support. Very many thanks.
Hi there, Thanks! (And also: Thanks for NOT making spareroom as expensive as easyroommate (that's just craazily expensive!) - and I like your service much better!!) Karen

You are doing a great job,
Impressed by your prompt and helpful approach. This is the first time I have used your web site it won't be the last. Thank you.

Miscellaneous feedback
Great site, great service. Only wish I'd got more involved with our advertising myself years ago.
I would like to say that your site has been of utter brilliance and ease of use. Thank you
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...
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!!!
I am very pleased with your website and thank you for the updates etc. My replies are coming through ok and I have contacted each one and arranged a viewing - it is only the 2nd week of my advert. I shall let you know the progress. Thank you, very well run and user friendly website, congratulations. rgds
Just to let you know that I have already recommended spareroom to several people on the strength of my experience of the site. I found it easy to navigate and very useful in screening out people so that I only had to meet a small number of possible tenants. The person I chose has worked out very well indeed. Regards
Sounds great, will be putting up some Ads next month. I really like the way Spareroom keeps in touch with me the customer, thanks for the update!
This is an excellent site and idea. Thanks.
I have to say I have found the site excellent.
Yet again I have used this site and yet again I have had results.
Thank you for the service, I thought it was really good.
I must say yours is an excellent website, so user friendly and professionally run. I have never advertised before but a friend recommended you. I am pleased with the results and I shall re-advertised when I need to again.
You give a great service and i shall use you again.
Thank you for all your help and for the number of replies which I have found most encouraging.
Many thanks for your help. I will certainly recommend your website to anyone I know looking for a room or tenant.
Excellent and easy service.
Just wanted to say that I found a room through your website and I think it is an excellent feature that I have been e-mailed everytime a new room that might interest me has become available. Many thanks for your site!
Awesome site, bloody fantastic!
I think your site is great and I'd just like to say thank you - it's a good service.
I think your service is brilliant. Emails like this - automated or manual -suggest consideration for all things. Well done!
Thanks for the great site. Easy to use.
Congrats on a great site
This website is superior to every other one of its kind. I found a housemate (not a soulmate) from these pages. Well set out, easily accessible. I thoroughly recommend this website to everyone (and I have already started). Thank you so much.
Positive feedback, fantastic site, easy navigation, fast loading time. Great site, will recommended it to friends as well.
Thanks a lot for being such a good site.
Thanks a lot and i like the site, really usefull, hope it continues to grow.
Thank you for your service. I have found it very efficient and have recommended it to a lot of friends. I will be back if needs be!
I think you have a terrific website and will certainly use it again. Thank you very much.
Thank you so much for all your help with the daily listings. I hope I will be able to contact you again in a couple of months time to ask for the same brilliant service that you and Spare Room have been providing me.
Just wanted to say what a great job you have made on the new format. Well done guys you should be proud of your site! Many thanks
WELL DONE! A brilliant MAKEOVER. This has improved the "perception" of the site 500%. A vast improvement. The Ads now look GOOD.
Thanks. Your website is great so keep it up.
Thank you for your service. I will certainly use your service again
Thanks u r site one of the best so well done ...and all good lodgers so very happy !
I was very impressed by your service - simple to use and effective. Thank you.
hi gemma. great website fantastic service will recommend many thanks .
Gemma please note that all my rooms have now been taken. Largely thanks to your excellent service - you can quote me on that! Cheers until next time
Hi Carol, Thanks for clarifying for meÉ Love the site (simple but brilliant idea) and v impressed with the support - thanks again. Regards
Thank you very much. This is an excellent service.
Thanks and I find your service very effective.
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!
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!
thanks so much this service is brilliant
Thank you once again for the excellent service you offered. I only wish all my dealings were as professional as yours.
I would be lost without this site. It is brilliant. All your work to keep it so is much appreciated.
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.
By the way, intolondon is really a convenient site for it enables users to save their shortlists and correspondence.
Thank you everything has worked out great..I will certainly promote this site...
Thank you very much and I love the new site
Thanks. Is this site your brain child? if so good on you!!
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 £7. I have told everyone about this site. So many thanks and just 1 room to go.
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.
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.
Well done on the excellent video feature enhancement. Streets ahead of the competition! Awesome !
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
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,
What people have said about our Speed Flatmating® events
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.
an ingenious hybrid of speed dating and that all-important flatmate interview... now there is light at the end of the flat-hunting tunnel.
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.
...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 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.
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.
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.
It was a fun night and I made a couple good contacts that I hope will come have a look at my flat.
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.
