Wally's your personal housing matchmaker in the Netherlands. Just tell me what you need on WhatsApp — I'll find you the right room or the right housemate. No apps, no scams, no ghosting.
Whether you just arrived in the Netherlands or you're looking for someone to take over your room — this all sounds painfully familiar.
You comment on a listing in a Facebook group. So do 200 other people. The poster never replies. Rinse and repeat for weeks.
You message ten people on Kamernet. Three reply. One ghosts after viewing. You're back to square one, again.
"Send €500 to hold the room." No viewing, no contract, no real person behind the listing. You've heard the horror stories.
Back home, you'd ask around. Here? You don't know anyone yet. And you need a place before your job starts in two weeks.
Even if you find a room — who's your new housemate? You're picking someone from a 3-line bio and hoping for the best.
Good rooms go within hours. By the time you see the post, it's gone. You can't refresh Facebook all day — you have a life.
Wally works for every stage of the international housing cycle — not just long-term leases.
You're starting a new job, internship, or study programme. You need a room within weeks, not months. Wally matches you with people who are leaving right when you're arriving.
Your contract ended, you're moving cities, or heading home. List your room in 2 minutes and Wally finds a verified, compatible person to take your spot.
Going home for Christmas? Traveling for a few weeks? Wally can match you with someone who needs a short-term stay — and match you back in when you return.
Someone moved out and now your group needs to fill the room — fast, and with the right person. Skip the 50 awkward interviews. Tell Wally what your house is like, and we'll send you pre-matched candidates who actually fit.
No apps to download. No accounts to create. Just WhatsApp — the app already on your phone.
Tell Wally what you need — your budget, area, timeline, and what matters to you in a housemate. It's a conversation, not a form. Takes 2 minutes.
Every 4 hours, Wally scores compatibility — not just price and location, but lifestyle fit. When there's a strong match, you both get a WhatsApp message.
Both interested? Wally introduces you directly. Visit the place, meet your future housemate, and if it clicks — welcome home.
I'm Wally — your personal housing matchmaker on WhatsApp. I know who's leaving, who's arriving, and whose lifestyle actually fits whose household. I don't just list rooms; I make introductions between real people.
I was built for the international community in the Netherlands — the people joining the ICC, starting at a new embassy, doing a semester abroad, or beginning a new chapter. People who need a place fast, but also need to trust who they're living with.
Say hey on WhatsAppNo subscriptions, no listing fees, no "premium plans." Like Vinted — the person who gets the value pays a small service fee. That's it.
Moving on? Or need a new housemate? List your room in 2 minutes and help someone from the community find their next home.
You only pay when Wally finds a match and both sides say yes. No match, no charge. Ever.
Why does the seeker pay? Because you're the one who gets the room. The person listing is doing the community a favor — we keep that free, always. The €25 covers matching, verification, and the introduction. It's less than one day's rent.
Wally isn't just a service — it's a cycle. Internationals helping internationals. The person who found their room through Wally lists it when they leave. That's how the community grows.
People who found a room AND later listed their own place for someone else. The flywheel in action.
The typical international stays ~4 months. When they leave, their room goes to the next person who needs it.
Nearly a third of seekers return — because contracts end, situations change, and Wally is still here when they need it again.
Facebook groups are a free-for-all: hundreds of "INTERESTED!" comments, no filtering, and scammers mixed in with real listings. Wally matches you 1-on-1 based on budget, timing, location, and lifestyle fit. Only when both sides are interested do we make the introduction. No public posts, no competing with 200 strangers.
Not at all. Wally handles short-term sublets too — going home for the holidays, traveling for a few weeks, or covering a gap between leases. Just tell Wally the dates and we'll match accordingly. We also help house groups find someone for a temporary or permanent spot.
Absolutely. Instead of posting on Facebook and sifting through 50 messages, tell Wally about your house, the room, and what kind of person would fit. Wally sends you pre-matched candidates — people whose budget, timeline, and lifestyle actually align with your household. You just pick who to meet.
Only when Wally finds a match AND both sides say "yes, I'm interested." At that point, the seeker pays the €25 service fee via iDEAL and we introduce you on WhatsApp. If Wally doesn't find a match, nobody pays anything. Listing a room is always free.
Every listing comes from a real person who chats with Wally on WhatsApp. We verify phone numbers and ask specific questions about the room. Because matching is private (not a public feed), there's zero incentive for scammers — they can't blast a fake listing to hundreds of people like they do in Facebook groups.
That's the whole point. Wally doesn't just match rooms — we match people. When we introduce you, both sides get context: profession, nationality, move-in timeline, lifestyle, and why they're in the Netherlands. You're not gambling on a stranger. You're meeting someone whose situation actually fits yours.
Most seekers are in the €600–900/month range, which covers about 62% of available rooms. The median budget (€750) matches the median listing price — the market isn't failing on price, it's failing on discovery and timing. That's exactly what Wally solves.
Just send a message. Wally's on WhatsApp right now, ready to learn what you're looking for. No forms, no sign-up — just a conversation.
