Couchsurfing Travel App

The best app for traveling and meeting new people. It gave me opportunities to visit new countries. I don’t think I’d travel without cs

It forces you to pay a lot of money but as a young male traveller with a bunch of friends you are never able to get accomodated. I believe it is designed on men hosting girls (and potentionally more). And women rather take female visitors for the mutual safety. The concept is great, I am dissatisfied, however, how much the app creators misuse the trust of the members (with "verification" and subscriptions) and why they do not regulate bad behaviour and very common misuse of the app. This is tinder n. 2, it takes your time and is useless and never gets you to a result and just demands your money. Big thumbs down; creators, please do something about it! Thanks BG Simon

It added so much to my life. Highly recommend. Lots of interesting like minded people. Sometimes the app is buggy but nothing major.

Nowhere on the website talks about a 60 bucks fee! Yet they charge it without a refund. Straight fraud! The app crashes, there aren’t many hosts in popular areas. You have to be very lucky to find someone. Inbox gets spammed by unrelated people. Not worth all the hassle.

The app is fine, I've even made friends on my trips thanks to it. Unfortunately, I was careless and accidentally clicked the button to pay for lifetime subs when I registered. It cost me 60€, when I asked for a refund saying it was a mistake, they wrote that they can't give me a refund, be careful.

It conected me to Belgrade guys when i was at košice lol fix. I went to center to meet them after that we realized that we are like 500km from each other. Apart from that always happy

Pandemic unfortunately changed a lot and also CS. It was great, now there is not many people, lot of inactive and it would need restart. But the worst is that guys use this excellent platform as dating app. Be aware, they put preferred gender “female” and have only female recommendations. Also dangerous for solo female travellers. Maybe CS could do something about it? I hope the good days are still ahead…

Couchsurfing was good app. Its still good way to meet new people but you have to be very careful of your money. There is something what they call VERIFICATION by you card. But in real they steal money from your account. I say steal, because there is no imformation about paymant, just “verification”. So its regular theft. Im so disapointed of evolution of this app. If you want money back, contact you bank. I was successful! ;) Dont waste time with contact CF support. They made bussines on this “verification”.

I really like Couchsurfing. My problem is that it's extremely hard to look up people. The search engine does not work. I put in the search bar their exact name and bunch of random people came up instead of people with the name that I typed in. Weird.

You destroyed the couchsurfing community with your greediness. I used to be a verified user, paid 50 euros and you still forced me to pay subscription. Now the app is so broken, I can’t even pay a subscription to check my old messages and friends. It’s a shame, you intentionally destroyed the community and are refusing to change your policy, trying to squeeze every last penny out of it. You don’t even need that much money to maintain this kind of app.. just trying to stuff your pockets with money. Now you lost most of the activity on the platform, it’s dead.
