Booking fee, deposit, refunds, Anmeldung

Checked against the Spacest terms and conditions in November 2026. A landlord’s own policy, when shown on the listing, replaces the standard one; the checkout is authoritative.

Tenant fee
Spacest Protection Fee — calculated at checkout, shown next to the rentPre-authorised on your card or PayPal together with the first month’s rent when you send the request; charged only once the landlord accepts. Non-refundable, except when Spacest cancels because of a landlord problem.
Deposit

Other costs
Contract closure costs on some listings — a one-off landlord fee under “Price details”Utilities are marked as included or priced per listing. Rent + contract fee + Protection Fee is what the first payment comes to.
Minimum stay
Per listing — mid- to long-termThere is no platform-wide minimum; each listing sets its own.
Payment hold

Anmeldung

Spacest FAQ for Berlin

Is Spacest the same as Roomless?

Yes. Roomless, founded in Italy, rebranded as Spacest in 2023. The legal entity is still Roomless s.r.l. Listings, accounts and the booking rules carried over.

Is Spacest legit?

Spacest is an established Italian rental marketplace with verified landlords, payments held in a safeguarded account until 48 hours after move-in, and a written cancellation policy. FlatHunt lists its Berlin inventory through a partner feed. As with any platform, pay only through the site. Spacest has no tenant–landlord chat before booking: questions go through “Request information” on the listing, and the landlord’s contact details arrive once the booking is confirmed.

How much is the Spacest Protection Fee (booking fee)?

Spacest charges tenants a one-time Protection Fee on top of the first month’s rent. It is calculated at checkout once you enter your dates rather than published as a percentage. It is pre-authorised with your request, charged only when the landlord accepts and not refunded if you cancel. Some landlords add a separate one-off contract closure fee, shown under “Price details” on the listing.

What is the Spacest cancellation policy?

Under the standard policy you get 100% of the first month’s rent back if you cancel more than 60 days before check-in, 50% between 30 and 59 days, and nothing under 30 days. The booking fee is never refunded. Landlords may set their own policy, which then applies instead — it is displayed on the listing.

Who holds the deposit on Spacest?

The landlord decides whether a deposit is required and how it is collected — directly or through Spacest’s payment system. Spacest does not administer, refund or enforce deposits. The amount must be stated on the listing before you book.

Can I get Anmeldung with a Spacest room in Berlin?

Yes, when the listing says so. Every Spacest listing states under “Rental conditions” whether registration at the address is possible (“Is it possible to take up residence?” — yes or no). When it says yes, the landlord issues the Wohnungsgeberbestätigung you need at the Bürgeramt. FlatHunt shows those listings as “Anmeldung possible”, and the Anmeldung filter narrows the search to them.

Can I chat with the landlord on Spacest before booking?

No. Spacest has no tenant–landlord chat. Before booking you ask questions through “Request information” on the listing and Spacest’s team answers; the landlord’s contact details are shared once your booking is confirmed. Check-in days, cancellation notice, minimum age, required documents and the landlord’s terms are all written on the listing, so most questions are answered there.
