Comments on SpareRoom UK for Android

★★★★★ VJ Persaud · Jun 19, 2026

Since starting my journey 3 years ago in property and HMO landlord this has been my no1 platform to find tenants and house guests absolutely brilliant platform.

★★★★☆ Anderson Uyiomeiza · Jul 23, 2026

Kept receiving information of people who I have already communicated with. Spareroom should do more people who are genuinely looking for room.

★★★★★ Jay Medway · Oct 24, 2026

Great app to find or look for a room or a flat. I advertised a room and got 35 messages in 1 day. Realy impressed with this app

★★★★★ Scott Fraser · Oct 13, 2026

The app is straight forward, it's got great reach, and I found a lodger within 2 weeks. Easily recommended.

★☆☆☆☆ J. Dominic Jackson · Aug 14, 2026

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

★☆☆☆☆ Ao Hl · Jul 3, 2026

No option to filter by ads only by agents, when I choose option no live in landlords it still shows me people who sublet their rooms, so it's kinda useless, wish there was option for only agents live out landlords edit almost 5 months passed, and it's even worse now, it keeps showing me current flatmate ads instead of no live in landlord just a normal hmo with random people, why can't you just add an only agents filter?

★☆☆☆☆ Maria · Jul 2, 2026

You get spammed by users who don't read your profile and just send messages to everyone, even ones that are way above your budget. They delete your chats and quickly, so if you want to have a record of what you've talked about with your landlord or tenant, take a screenshot of all your messages. The (male) landlord I found on the app turned out to be a liar and who even harassed me. The app didn't provide a way to report him. Doesn't seem like they care about your security.
