Life is better
when shared.
Find a housemate who fits you.
Renting is expensive enough. That's why our platform stays free. Forever.
The room market
is broken.
Thousands of people look for a room in Amsterdam every month. They get lost in social media groups, pay for platforms that don't deliver, and never know who to trust.
This is why we started Huismaatje.
We watched friends and housemates get stuck between expensive paywalls and social media chaos. So we're building the platform we'd want to use ourselves. Free forever, verified, and made for the Netherlands.
Unorganised, no oversight, messages disappear into a sea of spam. You have to beg to be seen.
Kamernet (€34/mo), Stekkies (€29.95/mo) and Kamer.nl (€17.95/mo) charge significant fees, just to reply. Some even funnel you towards yet another paid site.
Fake listings, unknown landlords, paying upfront without a viewing. You never know who you're dealing with.

Rooms live right now
A peek at what's available in Amsterdam at this moment.
Got a spare room? Become a hospita.
Renting one room in your own home can earn you up to €6,633 per year tax-free. We make it simple, step by step, no agency, no paywall, no fuss.
Up to €6,633 tax-free
The Dutch "kamerverhuurvrijstelling" 2026: your first €6,633 in rental income per year is exempt from income tax. For most hospitas that covers the full year.
We handle the legal side
Free WWS rent check, ready-made contract template, house-rules generator. All legally correct and aligned with the 2024 Affordable Rent Act.
Nine-month trial period
In the first year there's a trial period. If it doesn't click, you can still end the contract. After that, standard Dutch tenancy protection applies.
A livelier home
An empty room means quiet evenings. A good housemate brings conversations, cooking together, and a home that feels lived in again.
