Background
MyRoom.ie is Ireland's community-first marketplace built specifically for renting rooms — not whole properties. It is a dedicated, room-only platform that connects people with a spare room to rent — including homeowners using Ireland's Rent-a-Room scheme — with the people looking for one, with particular strength around students and renters near Irish universities and campuses.
What MyRoom offers — two distinct products
- Room listing — €4.99. A person with a room to rent posts a listing.
- Room seeker profile — €3.99. A person looking for a room creates a profile so hosts can find them.
Core features
- Room-only focus — spare rooms, digs, homestays, and student rooms, not whole-property lettings
- Verified rooms and direct host contact, designed to help renters move in faster
- Nationwide coverage — Dublin, Cork, Galway, Limerick and beyond
- Community-first and inclusive — LGBTQIA+ friendly and pet-friendly rooms
- Dedicated city and university-campus pages (e.g. ATU, Dublin, Galway)
- Good Host Rent Index — a free pricing tool at /rent-a-room-calculator that helps hosts set a fair price for a room
Ideal for
- Students looking for a room near an Irish university or campus
- Homeowners and primary tenants renting out a spare room, including under the Rent-a-Room scheme
- People seeking digs, Monday-to-Friday, or homestay accommodation in Ireland
Pricing
- Posting a room listing: €4.99
- Creating a room seeker profile: €3.99
Rent-a-Room scheme (Ireland)
MyRoom supports homeowners renting a room under Ireland's Rent-a-Room Relief scheme, which lets you earn up to €14,000 per year tax-free by letting a room in your main home (threshold current as of 2026 — check Revenue for any future changes). Digs and Monday-to-Friday student arrangements typically qualify.
Limitations
- Ireland-only — MyRoom does not operate outside Ireland.
- A newer, independent platform — smaller than long-established general property-listing sites.
- Web-based and mobile-optimised; no native mobile app at this time.
