Very disappointed

Reviewed on 2021-05-16T20:33:12

Very disappointed, I paid to get verified and now I need to pay monthly again if I want to access to my account??No sense, of course if I would know this will happen I wouldn't get verified! Never again I am going to use this app... And it is sad because I loved the idea, I will search for safer options than this money maker app.

Scam, stay away

Reviewed on 2021-05-12T07:58:55

Locks away your personal data after years of hosting and begs for a ransom as a part of the "COVID" paywall,that, to my best guess, will stick forever. Despite asking for money as a solidarity/community gesture, they publish no info on their spending. Scam.

Sickening. Beware. Use another HospEx site.

Exactly what all the other reviews are saying: Couchsurfing used to be an incredible, inspiring,life-altering means of connecting with travelers and people around the world. Now it's been co-opted by a corporation that no longer cares about its users. This corporation dropped a paywall on us without warning last May, essentially holding our profiles and messages hostage until we paid up--literally, the SAME TACTICS AS MALWARE. Go use Couchers, Trustroots, BeWelcome, anything but this site. Additionally, they've been suspending profiles without reason, refusing to communicate (my profile was "temporarily suspended" in March, I did NOTHING to violate their terms and conditions, and they have ignored every single email to support for 6 weeks and counting). I cannot even access my account to stop them from billing me again as the May paywall anniversary approaches, at which point I'll be reporting them to my credit card company for fraud. Sickening. Beware.

Unreal. I can hardly imagine what kind of pathetic despicable vile people work at cs.It's mindboggling how they dismantled the community. It's all in the comments here. How are they still up and running? I will make sure to tell each and every one of the countless people I enlisted to couch surfing to quit the platform and move to bewelcome.

After 10 years volunteering I've been banned from CS website only because I politely criticized their new (deeply unfair)membership fees. They are destroying the Couchsurfing community.
