Do you have a spare room? Help a student and become a host
Did you know in the Netherlands there’s an average shortage of 26.500 student rooms? For this reason, in 2022 Hospi Housing, Leiden University and gemeente Leiden started a collaboration to revive the concept of homestay. Last year we helped 50 students by offering them a Dutch homestay experience.
In Leiden, temporarily renting out a room in your home is allowed without a permit and possible for periods as short as two months. Hospi Housing offers personal advice and help to find the perfect match. Being a host is enriching, fun and provides a nice extra income. For hosts and guest families the service is free, students pay a one-time fee.
Want to know more?
Each year hunderds of students in Leiden struggle to find a room. And that’s why we need you. Are you interested or do you know someone with a spare room? Check out Hospihousing.com or send an email to info@hospihousing.com.
