§ ABOUT — THE METHOD

Six numbers,
not one star.

Rate My Accom is an independent, student-run review platform for student accommodation across New South Wales. We exist because choosing where to live shapes your whole degree — and nobody honest was telling you the truth.

↘ THE PITCH, IN SEVENTEEN WORDS

We don't list the places that pay us. We list the places students survived, rated, and would do again.

§ 01 — HOW THE RATING WORKS

Every review,
six dimensions.

A single star hides everything that matters. So each review is broken down across six numbers — and a “good place” can't hide a bad lease.

CLEANLINESS

Is it actually kept clean, or just photographed clean?

LOCATION

How far is the walk you’ll do twice a day for a year?

VALUE

What you pay versus what you actually get.

AMENITIES

Gym, study rooms, laundry — and whether they work.

MANAGEMENT

Do they answer the phone when something breaks?

SAFETY

How it feels walking home at 1am.

§ 02 — WHAT WE STAND FOR

Four things we won't compromise.

Independent

No commercial relationship with operators. We don’t list the places that pay us.

Verified

Only students with a university email can post. No agents, no astroturf.

Permanent

Reviews stay up — the good, the embarrassing, the angry. Operators get a reply, not a delete.

Private

Your email verifies you once. We don’t sell it, share it, or surface it.

§ 03 — THE COLOPHON

Built by a student, for students.

Rate My Accom is built and maintained by Melvin DY, a full-stack developer and university student who got tired of choosing accommodation blind. It's open source, built in the open with Next.js, TypeScript, Prisma and PostgreSQL.
