How does Huismaatje work?
In four steps from searching to moving in. Completely free, no hidden costs.
Browse rooms on the map
Open the interactive map of Amsterdam and discover every available room. Filter by neighbourhood, price, size and preferences such as BRP registration or pets.
Every pin on the map is a real room with photos, rent and info about the existing housemates. No fake listings, no hidden fees.
Match with housemates
View profiles of current residents. Read about their lifestyle, occupation and what they are looking for in a housemate. Like the rooms that fit you.
A mutual like creates a match. Only then can you start chatting. This keeps the inbox clean and makes sure only serious candidates talk.
Chat safely
Chat directly in the app with your match. No phone numbers or email addresses until you are ready.
The chat has built-in protection against scams. Payment links are automatically blocked.
Plan a viewing night
RSVP to the viewing night (hospiteeravond) at the house. Meet the housemates in person and see whether you click.
The hospiteeravond is the Dutch way to pick housemates. On Huismaatje you plan it directly in the app, including time slot and maximum number of guests.
Why is Huismaatje free?
The Dutch room market is expensive enough. Platforms like Kamernet charge up to €34 per month just to contact landlords. We think that is unfair.
Huismaatje was built by room seekers in Amsterdam who had had enough. Our platform is and stays free for everyone. No ads, no subscriptions, no hidden fees.
