Become a host

Have a room free? Someone’s on their way.

Students and interns arriving in Germany need somewhere to stay for their first weeks. List your room on Staywala and host people who are making the move you may have made yourself.

Five steps to your first guest

  1. List your room

    Add a title, room type, nightly price, the dates it’s free and at least five photos.

  2. We verify it

    A person on our team checks your photos, address and local rules before anything goes live.
