RoomSearch

Terms of use

Last updated: 20 October 2026

By using RoomSearch you agree to these terms. They are short on purpose.

1. What RoomSearch is

A free, non-profit map that gathers room listings posted in WhatsApp accommodation groups. We are not a letting agent, we do not broker rentals, we charge nothing and we have no relationship with advertisers.

2. Listings come from third parties

Listings are organised automatically by artificial intelligence and may contain mistakes in price, type, date or location. We do not verify properties or advertisers. Listings posted directly on the site ("Direct listing" badge) are reviewed by our team, but that does not guarantee the room exists or that the details are correct. Always confirm the details directly with the advertiser.

Stay safe: view the property before paying anything. Be wary of anyone who claims to be "abroad", asks for a deposit to "hold" a room without a viewing, or pressures you to pay quickly. Never send copies of your documents before seeing the place.

3. Acceptable use

You may use the site to look for accommodation and contact advertisers. You may not:

We may block access and suspend accounts that break these terms and, where necessary, take appropriate legal action.

Account: to see an advertiser's contact you need a free account, created with Google. Keep your name accurate and use one account per person. We may suspend accounts that break these terms. You can delete your account at any time under "My account".

4. For advertisers

Posting on the site: with an account, you can post rooms at roomsearch.ie/advertise. By posting, you declare that:

Every listing is reviewed by our team before it goes live, which can take a few hours, and may be rejected; the reason is shown in "My listings". Until automatic phone verification exists, anyone who uses someone else's number or posts a room that does not exist will have their account banned: the Google account and the number can no longer post or see contacts on RoomSearch. For now, each account can have 1 listing under review or live, and each listing stays live for 8 days, renewable. Once approved, a listing cannot be edited: to change something, delete it and create a new one.

Listings from the groups: if your listing appears here and you do not want it to, email [email protected] and we will remove it (see the privacy policy).

5. Liability

The site is provided "as is", with no guarantee of availability or accuracy. To the extent permitted by law, RoomSearch is not liable for negotiations, payments, losses or scams between users and advertisers. Nothing in these terms limits rights that consumers have under the law.

6. Governing law and contact

These terms are governed by the laws of Ireland. Questions: [email protected].
