Looking for a room

You can change the room. The flatmates, less so.

You message thirty listings, three reply, and about the flat you're moving into you know the square metres and the price. About the people you'll live with, nothing.

We're opening city by city. Join and we'll tell you before anyone else.

What happens today

  • Listings describe the room, not who lives in it
  • Nobody at a viewing will tell you they argue about cleaning
  • You sign a year with strangers and find out as you go

How it works for you

  1. 01

    Take the living compatibility test

    24 real flatshare situations. Four minutes, no sign-up and no right answers.

  2. 02

    Tell us the practical part

    City, areas, budget and move-in date. That filters: if it doesn't fit, it doesn't show up.

  3. 03

    See households and people you fit with

    Ranked by compatibility, with what you share and what might grate. Before you write to anyone.

  4. 04

    Talk first, visit after

    Conversations open on mutual interest and start with a useful question, not “hi, is it still available?”.

This is what you see before writing to anyone

Every household arrives with its percentage, the people you'd live with and the points worth talking through. It isn't a noticeboard sorted by price.

Roomealo

Ranked by how well you fit

A room portal

Ranked by price, or by who pays to be featured

We don't compete on how many rooms we list. You'll find the room anyway; we solve the part that decides the year.

Not another flat portal

There are rooms here too, but it isn't a board sorted by price and we won't compete with the big portals on number of listings. Every room comes with the people who live in it and how well you'd fit, explained. We don't handle tenancies or payments: we help you not get the people wrong.

If you've already got a viewing lined up, the test still helps: you turn up knowing what to ask at the viewing and what kind of household you fit. And if you want to go deeper, there's the guide on how to choose a flatmate.

Before you start

How long does it take?
Four minutes. It's 24 real flatshare situations and there are no right answers: answering what looks good only gets you matched with the wrong people.
Do I have to sign up to take the test?
No. You can take it and see your living profile without giving an email. Seeing other people will need an account once we open in your city.
Who sees my answers?
Nobody, not even the people you match with. Only the comparison is shown: where you align and where friction is likely.
What if the flat I like isn't here?
It can happen: here you'll find the rooms of people looking for a flatmate on Roomealo, not every room in your city. Even so, the test helps you walk into any viewing knowing what to ask.
Does Roomealo have rooms in my city?
The ones posted by people looking for a flatmate on Roomealo, each with its photos, its price and the people who live there, ranked by compatibility. To know what budget to plan for, check the price of a room by city.

Do you have a spare room?

It works the same from the other side: you see who fits your household before writing to them.
