Ratings and reviews

Really not enjoying the way this app is setup or the way the community responds to requests. Downloaded on the recommendation of a friend, but it is *not* for travelers with flexible dates. There is no option to leave dates open ended, and most of the users fail to change their status from "Accepting Guests" when they are full. One-hundred percent of my denied requests have been from people who are listed as accepting guests when they're actually not. It makes the whole app and idea pointless.

I used to love couchsurfing but now most of the profiles are inactive. I wasn't able to find ANYONE to stay with on an 13 day trip to Ireland this past month. And I can't block out dates on the calendar for hosting from my phone, only from my PC. The features on the site have improved over the years but the there are apparently few people hosting.

Downloaded this app at a friend's suggestion. We plan to travel to India and want to be able to experience what a local host and tour guide could offer. Immediately, you have to choose whether to pay for monthly ($2) or yearly ($14) access. After that, they practically demand you get verified, which costs either another $60 or you have to host a traveler for temporary verification. They discourage accepting non-verified travelers WITHIN THE APP, leaving you pretty much no choice. Hard pass.
