Buurkamer

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.

For hosts

Step 1

1. Sign up

Create a profile in a few minutes and tell us a bit about yourself and your home.

Step 2

2. List your room

Add photos, describe the room, and set your availability — with tips along the way.

Step 3

3. Set your preferences

House rules, availability, and the kind of housemate that's the right fit for you.

Step 4

4. We check and publish

Our team reviews your listing within 1 business day and then makes it live.
