RateMyAccom exists to provide authentic, trustworthy accommodation reviews by students, for students. Every review helps future students make informed housing decisions.
Write about your genuine experience living in the accommodation. Share specific details that help others understand what it's really like.
Include both positives and negatives. No place is perfect! Honest feedback helps students make better decisions.
Mention specific aspects: cleanliness, location, facilities, maintenance, noise levels, value for money, social atmosphere, etc.
Be critical but respectful. Avoid offensive language, personal attacks, or discriminatory comments.
Add authentic photos or videos when possible. Visual evidence helps other students see what the accommodation really looks like.
Only review places you've personally lived in. Never review based on hearsay or on behalf of others.
Never accept payment, discounts, or incentives for reviews. All reviews must be unbiased and independent.
No profanity, hate speech, discriminatory language, threats, or harassment. Be respectful to all.
Never share phone numbers, addresses, email addresses, or other private information about individuals.
Stay on topic. Don't post promotional content, links to other sites, or irrelevant information.
Don't post multiple reviews for the same place, coordinate with others to inflate/deflate ratings, or create fake accounts.
