Great app for open-minded people

This application is a wonderful invention for those who like meeting new people and discovering the world through the eyes of the local! It helps you to find a companion when you travel, who can later become a good friend of yours!
Also, it’s a useful tool for all budget travelers which provides free housing and city tours.
Of course, it’s not always safe cause people are different. But go through the references and meet friendly and hospitable locals all over the world!
Thank you Couchsurfing creators for making travels more affordable and connecting people from across the globe!

Dissapointed

Very disappointed with this service. When I registered there for the first time in my life they have ask my right after the registration to confirm email and complete verification without mentioning on the main page that they will charge money for that. I have never seen any verifications for money in my life before so I was not vigilant at that moment. When they ask for a bank card data for the verification I was surprised but explained to myself that this is how they push users to make inner purchases in future. I did everything fast and mechanically as many of us do when fill up a bank card details and after I already pressed OK I mentioned a small sentence with a price above (it was regular info sentence with with the price that was not marked). I really didn’t see it. “My fault” - was my first thought - “But no worries, they seem to be a noble company so they will return money for sure” - was my second thought. I have wrote them right after I did the mistake and explained everything to them: that it was an accident and I wrote them the next moment after I was charged. With big unpleasant surprise I have received the answer that they do not do refunds (I wonder is it actually legally?). I wrote them again and said one more time that it was really an accident and I am not even sure that I will use their service at all. No answer was after that. So I called them thieves and was truly with a big awful first impression from them. Hope, you will be more careful.

Great idea but needs improvement

Excellent idea for travelers! But you beed still to improve many details. For example, do not change the map of CS activity if the host/guest has changes his address. And for sure, increase the amount of possible weekly requests for unverified users - 10 isn't enough.
