Getting Started
Create your MyRoomie account, complete your profile, and find your first matches - whether you are looking to live, to work, or to move for work.
This guide walks through the first hour on MyRoomie: creating an account, building a profile the matching engine can work with, and choosing the route that fits what you actually need.
Create your account
Open MyRoomie and choose Get Started. You can register with:
- Email and password
- A connected account - Google, Facebook, GitHub or LinkedIn
Accounts, sessions and password resets are handled by our authentication provider, so you can link several sign-in methods to the same account later under Account → Security.
Choose your market and language
Every page lives under a market (the country you are searching in) and a language. MyRoomie is configured for EU27+UK - 29 markets - in 23 languages, and the language picker in the navigation bar switches both.
Pick the market you are searching in, not the one you currently live in: listings, pricing and local guidance are all market-scoped.
Complete your profile
A complete profile is what the matching engine has to work with. Include:
Personal details
- Name, photo and a short introduction
- Occupation or study status
- Languages you speak
Housing preferences
- Budget range and preferred move-in date
- Locations and neighbourhoods you are considering
- Room or property type
Lifestyle compatibility
- The lifestyle quiz - routines, cleanliness, guests, noise, sleep schedule
- The optional MBTI-style personality assessment
Why the lifestyle questions matter
The matching engine weighs 50+ lifestyle signals from your profile. Skipping the quiz does not block you from searching, but it does mean compatibility scores are based on far less information.
Verify your identity
Identity verification is what keeps the community trustworthy. Go to Verify Identity in your dashboard to complete it. Verified profiles get more responses, and some listings and operator features require verification.
Choose your route

Connect and decide
Once you have matches:
- Message securely - conversations stay inside the platform until you choose otherwise.
- Check the profile - look for the verification badge and shared interests.
- Schedule a viewing - arrange it through the listing rather than off-platform.
- Book - confirm the arrangement, with support available at each step.
