How:
The online form has been closed for now but will be published again around October/November for the rooms that are available as of January/February 2025.
Selection
We select a new tenant by lottery, so everyone has a fair shot at finding a home. We will only select as many students as we have available rooms.
After you have been selected you will receive an email from Househunting (caretaker of the building) with a voucher.
With this voucher you can book a room on the KLIKenHUUR (CLICKandRENT) booking website. Students who are not selected will not receive an email.
When you receive a voucher, you will have 3 days to book an available Voucher room in Rotterdam. The voucher will become invalid after 3 days.
We want to emphasize that every voucher is personalized and cannot be transferred to someone else. Also the voucher can only be used once.
Not interested anymore?
If you receive an email that you have been selected and you are not interested anymore or you have found another place to stay, please reply as soon as possible to the email you have received from Guesthouse Rotterdam about this. We can then select another student in need for the room.
