Important: this does not guarantee a room, as we work on a first come first serve basis (!)
1. Check our socials!
If you want to stay updated about when the booking season for August will be live, we recommend you to
keep an eye on our website and Instagram page to stay up to date.
2. Sign up and do not forget to pay the platform fee!
Please make sure you have a paid RoomPlaza account, which means paying the 35 euro platform fee.
Only paid RoomPlaza accounts get through the first 'round'. We know from experience that it can cause some delay if not all members of the group have paid the platform fee. For example, if 2 people in a group of 4 have not yet paid the platform fee, a complete group with paid RoomPlaza accounts will be given priority in this case.
3. Prepare your stay in one of our flats.
Are you planning to rent a one-person studio or a shared flat? If you plan to stay with flat mates, please form a group when making a booking and do not wait too long to add your flatmates to your booking. If you go to My Profile and then select Show me in Find a Flatmate, you will be visible to all users.
We have lots of studios and mostly 3/4 person apartments (with some exceptions of more or less), you can prepare yourself for this if you would like to rent a shared flat. Please note that you cannot form a group before making an inquiry and you cannot make multiple inquiries at once. Additionally, make sure the number of people matches the number of rooms in the apartment. We only accept a booking with a complete group (see also: 'accepting complete bookings').
4. Please read the advertisement of a flat carefully.
If the advertisement says: 'only suitable for first-year students' and you are not a first year student but for example a second or third year student, the chance of you renting the flat would be very small. We would suggest to apply for a flat which suits the specific requirements or inquiry for an apartment which has no special requirements at all.
Additionally, in the advertisement is stated if the utilities are included or excluded the rental price.
5. Final steps
If you and the rest of your flat mates have a paid RoomPlaza account, made an inquiry for the flat you are interested in and you added each other to the booking, then you have done everything successfully on your part and it is just a matter of waiting for approval from the landlord. In case you will rent by yourself and you paid the platform fee and made an inquiry then the same applies to you. You can read here what will be next.
In case you get rejected for a flat because another person or group made a booking earlier than you, please do not forget to disconnect from your booking before making a new one. This is because you cannot make multiple bookings at the same time.
