Change a listing’s type after posting
Posted a room but would rather find a flatmate, or the other way round? No need to delete and start again: switch the type when you edit the listing.
What has changed on the site, newest first. If something is missing or doesn’t work the way you expect, write to us: info@addberbe.com.

Add a YouTube or Vimeo link to a tour of the flat and the listing shows a “Video” chip. Photos and the video now come first on the form, because they are what people decide on.
The parts of the site sit side by side as tabs. The Marketplace (students selling to each other) and Parcels (a box from home to the dorm) are still ideas: if you’d use one, press “I’m interested”, and if enough of you do, we’ll build it.
Rooms to let, people looking and what was just taken, in rows that scroll sideways. With an open search of your own, a “Fits your search” row on top shows the rooms that fit it. Every card shows the essentials the same way: room type, district, distance to university, move-in date and price.
The guide is no longer only about Budapest: the chapters on address registration, residence permits and transport cover the three big university towns outside the capital too.
Seven chapters in English and Hungarian: renting and scams, address registration, the residence permit, arriving (SIM, bank), getting around and learning Hungarian. Each chapter shows when its facts were last checked.
Up to 20 pictures per listing. Photos taken sideways on a phone show the right way up, any of them can be turned with one button, and you choose which one is the cover.
A room that has been let stays on the board for a week marked “Taken”, then lives on in your account. When it is free again, “Relist” puts it back as a fresh listing.
Filters grouped the way a property portal does it: location, price, room, move-in, amenities. A sheet that slides up on a phone and a dialog in the middle on a desktop.
Search by minutes on foot to the metro or the nearest useful stop and minutes to your university. Pick several districts at once, and see the area on a small map on each listing.
Post what you are looking for and you get an e-mail the moment a matching room turns up. Landlords hear about the searchers who fit their room. Switch it off in your profile at any time.
Flick through listings one card at a time. Swipe right on a room, and if the lister likes you back, it’s a match and you both get an e-mail.
Listings show, with small figures, how many people live in the flat and who they are hoping for in the free spots, so the card alone tells you whether you would fit in.
Board cards carry pictures you can swipe through, and a listing opens them full screen. Like single photos, and save a listing for later with the heart.
The whole site is available in English under /en, and e-mails arrive in the language you chose. Listing text stays in the language its author wrote it in.
Apply to a listing in one click with your profile, and flatmates can vote on the applicants together. Share listings on Facebook, WhatsApp and Viber, or save them for later.
A room and flatmate board with no agency and no fee: listings with photos, messages to the lister, sign-in with Google, and teams for moving in together.
