How Buurkamer works
Whether you're looking for a room or offering one: Buurkamer keeps the process clear, personal, and safe — from first glance to moving day.
For students
Step 1
Search and filter
Students search by city, price, bathroom, length of stay and more — just as easily as searching for a house.
Step 2
Get in touch
Send the host a short message, introduce yourself, and ask about a viewing. No complicated forms.
Step 3
Meet and view together
Arrange a time to meet each other and see the room. That way you'll know for sure it's a good fit.
Step 4
Make it official
If it clicks for both sides, you agree on the details together and the student moves in.
