Got one for you — €720/mo near Centraal. Interested?

Yes! That's exactly my budget range

Great — connecting you two right now

Pay only when it matches. Not while you search.

Most other services charge you monthly for the chance to apply among hundreds, and the free alternatives are a wild west of scams and ghost listings. Wally is the boring opposite: one fee, only if a real match happens, safety built in.

💸

Pay on match, not on apply

€25 once — only when you and an offerer have both said yes to each other. No monthly fees, no application fees, no agent fees. Offerers list for free, forever. If nothing matches, you pay nothing.

🛡️

Safety brief before you contact anyone

Before you share details with a stranger, Wally walks you through a 30-second brief on the four most common Dutch rental scams. Arriving from abroad? You also get a pointed warning about deposit fraud — the #1 attack on expats.

🙋

Real people, not scraped listings

Every listing comes from a real person who messaged Wally about their own place. No aggregator scrapers, no dead listings from last year, no ghosts. You talk to humans from minute one.

🔒

Your data is yours

No last names required. No exact address in your profile. Pick an alias if you want. Contact details only flow between you and the person you choose to connect with, and only after you both opt in.

Three chats. That's all it takes.

No apps to download. No accounts to create. Just WhatsApp — the app already on your phone.

Wally works for every stage of the international housing cycle. Pick your situation.

🧳

You just arrived — and housing feels impossible

New job, internship, or study programme? You need a room within weeks, not months. Public group feeds are chaos, the paid subscription sites ghost you, and scams are everywhere.

👻 Endless ghosting on the big subscription sites
🚩 "Send €500 to hold the room" — scams mixed with real listings
🌍 No local network — you don't know anyone to ask

You're leaving — and your room shouldn't become a headache

Contract ended, moving cities, or heading home? You need someone to take your spot. But posting in groups means 50 messages from randoms your housemates won't approve.

💸 Paying double rent while you wait for a replacement
🛋️ Furniture you can't take — no one on Marketplace wants it all
🔑 Deposit stuck until someone takes over
🤦 50 awkward messages, none your housemates approve

Looking for someone to find a place with

You're solo, new in the country, and you'd rather team up than go it alone. Find another person in the same boat and hunt for a place together — two budgets, twice the options.

🎰 Gambling on a stranger from a 3-line bio
💰 Budget too tight for a studio, too much for a shared unknown
Good 2-person places go within hours
😶 No way to filter for compatible lifestyles upfront

Your house needs someone — and "anyone" won't do

Someone moved out and your group needs to fill the room — fast, and with the right person. You don't want 50 awkward interviews from an open post online. You want pre-matched people who actually fit.

📬 50 messages from strangers — most don't fit at all
🤷 No way to screen for vibe, lifestyle, or schedule
Empty room = everyone's rent goes up
😰 Last time someone moved in blind, it was a disaster
Free
Free for house groups listing an open room
  • Describe your house vibe and what kind of person fits

  • WhatsApp intro so your whole house can meet them
  • Short-term or permanent — you set the terms

Questions you probably have

Public housing groups are a free-for-all: hundreds of comments, no filtering, and scammers in the mix. Wally matches you 1-on-1 based on budget, timing, location, and lifestyle. Only when both sides are interested do we make the introduction. No public posts, no competing with strangers.

If you're looking for a place: only when Wally finds a match and both sides say yes. At that point you pay a one-time €25 fee. No match, no charge. If you're listing a room, finding a roommate, or finding someone for your house: completely free.

Not at all. Wally handles short-term sublets too — holiday cover, gap between leases, or temporary stays. Just tell Wally the dates and we'll match accordingly.

Wally matches your furniture situation too. If you're leaving a furnished room, we look for seekers who want to take it over — bed, desk, kitchen stuff, everything. No selling piece by piece. The person moving in gets a ready-to-live-in room, and you walk away clean.

Every listing comes from a real person who chats with Wally on WhatsApp. We verify phone numbers and ask specific questions. Because matching is private, there's zero incentive for scammers — they can't blast a fake listing to hundreds of people.

Wally works across the Netherlands — Amsterdam, The Hague, Rotterdam, Utrecht, Eindhoven, and beyond. We know the neighbourhoods, the employers, the universities, and the vibe of each area. Whether you're joining the ICC, starting at ASML, or doing a semester at UvA — Wally's got you.
