Why Buurkamer exists
Across the Netherlands, thousands of rooms sit empty in older homeowners' houses, while students are desperately searching for an affordable place to live. Buurkamer connects those two worlds — with care for safety, clarity, and a good match.
Our story
Buurkamer started from a simple idea: living is about more than a roof over your head. We believe that bringing generations together doesn't just help solve the housing crisis — it also eases loneliness among older people and gives students a warm start.
Our approach
We deliberately keep the platform simple — especially for hosts who aren't online every day. Every room is checked, every profile is verified, and support is never far away.
