The problem

A better alternative to chaotic housing groups.

Finding a room in Athens can feel overwhelming, especially when you are moving alone and trying to judge who or what to trust. RooMate offers a more intentional way to connect, with trust signals, profile verification, and introductions that only happen when both sides agree.

How it works

Four quiet steps from sign-up to safer living.

01

Create your profile

Tell us what you are looking for, your preferred area, your budget, and what kind of living setup feels right for you.

02

Build your trust level

Start as a Verified Member for free, then strengthen your profile through additional trust steps and verification.

03

Get reviewed matches

RooMate's Trust Match™ process suggests compatible connections — introductions only happen when both sides express interest.

04

Move with more confidence

Instead of chasing random listings, you get a more trusted and intentional route to finding your next home.

Women-first

Why RooMate is starting with women.

RooMate is launching first for women moving to Athens because trust, safety, and compatibility matter most when you are finding a place to live in a new city. Starting with a focused community creates a stronger, more trusted matching experience from day one.

Built for women, by a woman who understands the move.

The RooMate Trust Badge

Three levels of trust, visible before you connect.

Trust is at the centre of RooMate. Our Trust Badge helps you see how complete and verified a profile is before any introduction happens.

How tiers work in practice

For seekers: they see a tier badge on each offerer's profile. They can filter "show me Tier 2+ only" or "Tier 3 only" if they want extra peace of mind.

For both sides

Built for women looking and women offering.

For women looking for a room

Find a more trusted alternative to random housing posts and unreliable listings. RooMate helps you discover more compatible options with clearer trust signals before you decide to connect.

I built RooMate because I have lived every side of the problem it solves. As a UK-based dentist, Pilates instructor, coach, and Airbnb Superhost with 70 five-star reviews- I have spent my career in service of other people's wellbeing. But it was my own experience of moving across cities, arriving somewhere new, and needing a safe place to live that made me realise how broken the housing search is for women. I know the fear. The uncertainty of trusting a stranger with your address before you've ever met them. The exhaustion of scrolling through listings hoping the person on the other end is who they say they are. The moment you hand over a deposit and just have to hope. No woman should have to navigate that alone. I built RooMate in four months as a solo non-technical founder - while working full time as a dentist -because I believe trust is not a feature. It is the whole point. Every profile on this platform has been built with that belief at its core. And every woman who joins becomes part of something I am genuinely proud of - a community where safety is not an afterthought. It is the foundation. Welcome to RooMate. 🤍 Sotiria
