Simple by design
How Roomee works
Looking for a room or letting out a space shouldn't feel like a second full-time job. Find a room without jumping through hoops.
Browse or list
Browse the moment you land — no account or login needed to look around. List your own spare room in minutes, no card required either.
Message directly
No enquiry sitting in a queue. Your message lands the second you send it, no upgrade required to make that happen.
Meet and decide
Arrange a viewing in person or on a video call once you've connected, then decide together — no lengthy application process in between.
What is Roomee?
Roomee is a free room-share marketplace for Melbourne. Seekers browse and message rooms with no fee and no subscription — every message is sent instantly, with nothing held back by a paywall. People with a spare room list it free and hear from every enquiry directly. No middle layer, no gatekeeping, no cost to talk.
Local first
Built for Melbourne, suburb by suburb
We're starting with Melbourne and staying focused on the city we actually know. From inner-city share houses to quiet rental spaces across the outer suburbs, Roomee brings local room listings together in one simple place. Search by suburb, compare what's available and find a room that works for where you want to live.
For seekers
Search on your terms, not the internet's
Skip the scroll Filter by suburb, budget and the details that matter, then message the person renting it out directly — no refreshing ten tabs to compare listings.
Skip the inbox black hole No enquiry sits behind a paywall. Your message lands the moment you send it. Reply times are up to them — but at least you'll know it got there.
Pace it on your own terms Chat inside Roomee for as long as you like before swapping numbers or arranging a visit. Decide when you're ready, not before.

Pricing
Roomee plans
Free stays free
The core of Roomee is completely free. Searching, sending messages and keeping your rooms listed costs nothing — with no limit on listings or messages. Optional paid upgrades exist purely to give listings extra visibility when a fast turnaround matters.
Visibility upgrades
When you need to fill a room on a strict timeline, waiting isn't an option. These put your space in front of more seekers, faster.
- Roomee Pro — your listings cycle back to the top of local search every five days, so more seekers keep seeing them.
- 7-day Listing Boost — extra visibility for a single listing for seven days when you need to fill a room quickly.
Questions
Frequently asked
Is Roomee free?
Yes. Browsing, messaging and listing rooms are free, always, with no paywalls. Pro and Boost are optional extras for extra visibility, never a requirement.
Is Roomee safe?
Chat stays on Roomee until you're ready to share details, and we review every report promptly. Roomee never handles money — never pay a bond or deposit through us, and always see a room in person or on a live video call first.
How is Roomee different from other room-share sites?
Browsing and messaging never require payment, on either side. Many room-share sites charge seekers to unlock messaging or delay delivery unless you pay. Roomee doesn't.
Do I need to pay to list a room?
No. Listing is free, with no limit on how many rooms you list. Pro and Boost are optional if you want your listing to cycle back to the top of search or jump up for a week — neither is required.
How long does it take to list a room?
About five minutes.
Which areas does Roomee cover?
Melbourne only, for now. That's deliberate — so every listing and every suburb is one we actually know.
How do I find a share house in Melbourne?
Search by suburb and budget, open the listings that fit, and message the households you like for free. When one feels right, arrange to see the room in person or on a video call before you commit to anything.
Trust & safety
Look out for each other
What we do
- Chat stays on Roomee until you're ready to share details
- Report anything suspicious and we'll review it promptly
What you should do
- Always see the room in person, or on a live video call, before you pay anything
- Never pay a bond, deposit or holding fee before you've seen it
- Keep messages on Roomee so we have a record if something goes wrong
Roomee never handles your money. We don't take bonds, rent or deposits — any listing asking you to pay through us is a scam.
