Question: Is there an enchantment on the room making it unplottable, or did the Marauders never find it?

Answer: 
**We don't know.**
------------------

Hermione and Ron offer differing (but not necessarily contradictory) explanations for why it's not on the map. Hermione surmises that **unplottability may be one of the charms that the room casts when it's being used by someone who doesn't want to be found** whereas Ron's suggestion is that it may **not be on the map because the Marauders didn't know about it**.

Since we know that the map only shows rooms and passageways that were known to the Marauders (hence the Chamber of Secrets not showing up) there's a distinct possibility that they're both right; that it's not on the map because the Marauders didn't know about it, but that even if they had, they wouldn't have been able to add it to the map because it has its own cloaking spells.

That’s where he’s doing … whatever he’s doing! And I bet that’s why he’s been disappearing off the map – come to think of it, I’ve never seen the Room of Requirement on there!’

We do know that it doesn't show up at other times (if we presume that Harry has looked at the map other than when Malfoy is in it) suggesting that Hermione may be wrong that it's only *unplottable when needed*, more likely it's **unplottable at all times.**
I think the Marauders couldn't draw the room of requirement because the room would change shape and size according to the people who use it. It could be a broom cupboard like when Fred and George are hiding from Flich, or a perfect place for the DA, which is very different in size
