Flatmates.com.au Arvostelua 

I can't believe I wasted my time using this garbage website. Lots of spam as well as political correctness messages. I found Gumtree a better platform where I have many inspections lined up this week.

If I could give a zero stars I would. The accommodation had mould every where including the ceiling, the windows were broken, and broken glass was still in the window, just covered by the curtains. Another window was missing and grey sticky tape was replacing the whole window. The toilet was leaking and the plastic cistern was cracked. The agents promised to refund money but that did not happen. Stay away. Lost 1.1k for this riveting experience. Never again.

Don't use Flatmates there is no support when things go wrong and bond is lost

After signing up to this site more than once, I received a lot of spam on my phone as well as scammers calling me. I had to change my number more than once where this time I'm using other websites to find a new place to live now. I can see regarding the reviews below, I'm not the only person having these issues where this website brings nothing but trouble to your life from reading other reviews.

Over the years advertising for a flatmate, I have found 3 great flatmates back to back over a 5 year span, all of my flatmates were through this website & I s add m still very good friends with them all! Flatmates.com are very supportive & look after their members & respond very quickly to all inquiries & always find a quick solution that is in your best interest as a member. I love that I don’t have to re-do my advertisement from scratch I just activate & tweak any updates under edit mode & it is immediately updated! I have found the right flatmate very quickly & even during the very difficult time of Covid19 flatmates.com did not hesitate to support me by extending my membership for an additional month for free to ensure I found the right flatmste. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Professional website, easy to use, support team respond very quickly & address your inquiry with a great outcome, excellent service flatmates.com keep doing what your doing you! I could not recommend anything to change its a great website it works every time. Thank you to the professional experienced support team ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

I setup a new listing today on FM where it was pending for half a day. On Gumtree and Flatmatefinder it was live right away. I just logged on tonight and it's saying I'm banned. No email or information was send to me regarding why I was banned. I think I'll stick to Gumtree and Flatematefinder, it's alot easier to setup your listing and are trouble free compared to Flatmates.

Don't waste your time like I did with this site. The customer service doesn't exist here. I manage to get a reply after half a week after sending many messages. The layout is ugly and way to big. Other websites have the listing small so you can easily scroll. You block someone by accident and you can't unblock them. I wish I never wasted my time with this site where I found a new place to live easily on Gumtree.

Received 1 message in 40 days of paying for this.

Almost all of the listings are tagged in too many categories so you can't filter them out of results.

Almost all of the listings are made by real estate agents. I do not want to read real estate listings, I want advertisements from people who are not in the real estate industry. This is a frustrating waste of time, energy and money.

You cannot filter out ads that exclude you, for example, you cannot filter out "student only" or "female only".

The guatantee is also a scam. They claim you will have premium features until you find a place, but then they ask you for more money.

I'm sure that you sold my phone number to some database the second I signed up too. Scam calls are much more common since signing up here. Avoid

I am really pissed off. I have using flatmates to advertise my rooms for rent using full plan, basic or boost plans. It worked all the time. This lastest payment invoice No. 1800776, having $8.99 which is supposed to allow me to view member phone nos, send and receive messages but it doesn't allow me. There is no way for me to contact anyone re this problem.

I had such a bad experience on this website. For one, once you block someone by accident, you can't unblock them. The display pictures are way to big for my screen. Customer service was unhelpful.

Using this website has been a total nightmare. Go somewhere else, it's not worth your time.

About 2 years ago I found a room at Mary pleasant place Birkdale. I was there for 3 months and was told I had to leave by the tenant Ramona Wilkins. When I was packing up to leave she demanded money and got physically violent.She locked me out of the unit. I called the police because my medication was still in the house. I had to get my son to move me out because she wanted to keep all my furniture and my plasma TV. She still keeps advertising the same room, this is my 2nd complaint about her. Stop encouraging abusive people. She’s a thief and a liar and her other tenant carries the Rotor virus.

Flatmates is keeping fake early bird accounts on purpose to make people buy premium package. Last 3 years I bought 3 times premium package to message to early bird accounts and all of them was fake or didn’t answer . And flatmates didn’t make any refund. DONT BUY PREMIUM PACKAGE!!!!

This is discussing, I payed the woman the 4 weeks plus 2 weeks in advance , she dictated to me that I had to be moved in on a certain day, but because of covid 19 , and restrictions I moved in 2 weeks later ,and still payed for the 2 weeks I wasn't there for , I can't shut my bedroom door and the first night I was there one of her neighbours broke into my car and stole stuff, and the final thing for me after little announce things that are just normal when U have flatmates was the friday night the landlord and her neighbour/friend got drunk on wine and proceeded to speak crap about me , and didn't realise that they heard you from there room, I put in my 2 weeks notice , and she told me I have a contract and I had to stay for 6mths, I then told her all I have to do is give 2 weeks notice, she thinks she is getting my bond ,but its becoming quite clear ,this is what she does ,she apparently had problems with her last tenant

Piece of shiiit site banned me for no reason at all. Used it many times over the years and they banned me out of the blue without warning.

Cannot believe there is no reporting/blacklisting/banning function of repetitively abusive Landlords.
The two times we have used this site to rent a place out, we have had to seek lawful action against our Landlords, each from a different State.
These Landlords have continued to advertise the properties on here for rent after legal action, under different address and names. Sometimes, they just continue as is.
The site only has the option to "report this ad" and not the Landlord for lying and abusing the site, the site's customer base and the law.
Disgrace.

I've been using this website in the past but I can't stand the new changes. It was way better before REA Group took over the company.

I listed my property today where it went into pending for a long time. I checked back after a couple of hours and it said banned. I will never use this site again!

Note: After reading the reviews below, it looks like I'm not the only person being banned for no reason.

I hate the look of the website. Listings are way too big where I can't see the whole photo.

I had just recently joined up went out to see a property for my first inspection no one was home at the appointed time and house was open called out and knocked went into house to leave a note on table tried messaging owner but no response not sure if was correct mobile number than someone arrives at house who looked nothing like his advert photo and yelled at me told me get the f*"out of his house otherwise he would call the police he didn't give me time to explain he scared me he was very angry and upset,I tried to explain but he didn't listen and than I left running out the door in tears.Very reluctant to have another viewing again if this is the treatment I will get!The whole experience was very upsetting!
