Sharing a room

Roomie-o where art thou?

Determined to get a room in Van Orley? Opt for a shared room and raise your chances.Double rooms can only be booked if a roommate has been found. This process usually takes some time, so it’s a good thing to start looking for one already.
How? Join our Facebook group and make post. Cut the cost of your stay and end up with a friendship for life!

Please note:

  • Both roommates rent the room for the same period. Same-sex; mixed sex? We don’t mind if you don’t mind. Just keep in mind that a double room is an actual shared room, with two beds and one bathroom.
  • Both roommates must comply with all application requirements (see who can apply)
