Hospi Housing is the largest platform for renting out a room and home sharing. We run our own research and are open to working with public and private partners.
How much housing is hidden in your municipality? We map the potential of renting out a room area by area and measure what measures deliver: how many hosts join, how quickly rooms fill, and what a measure costs per place realised. That is the evidence for a council proposal, a housing strategy or a funding application.

Our database holds almost 100,000 users and we reach 30,000 students a year. That lets us run research others cannot: market scans, pricing research and testing a proposition with an audience that is hard to reach. Delivered to order, under our own name or as a partnership.

Every year we research the state of renting out a room in the Netherlands. We look at numbers and differences, prices and motivations, and policy and trends.
Are you researching the housing market, student housing or another relevant subject? That can be with data from our platform, with guidance during your research, or in a form we work out together.
Anonymised figures on demand, supply, rents and tenancy lengths, prepared for your research question.
A read of your proposal, access to hosts and tenants for interviews, and a conversation with one of the founders.
An internship, a graduation project or a joint publication: put forward what you have in mind.
Tell us what you are looking for and the question you are working on, and we will look at what is possible.
