02 / How booking works

Request, 48 hours, first rent, keys

You can send a request for a specific room straight from the FlatHunt listing page, or open the room on uniplaces.com and press “Start booking”. Either way the sequence — and when your card is charged — is the same.

  1. Pick a room on FlatHunt

    Uniplaces rooms and studios show the monthly rent; fees are added at Uniplaces checkout, so compare the base price here.

  2. Request from FlatHunt or book on Uniplaces

    Send a request from our listing page — or open the Uniplaces listing and “Start booking” with your dates.

  3. Landlord has 48 hours

    On acceptance your card is charged for the first rent plus the service fee. If they decline or time out, nothing is charged.

  4. Move in · 24-hour safety period

    Uniplaces holds the first rent until a day after move-in. Deposit and month two onwards go to the landlord.

04 / Our take

Who should book here

Good for

  • Students, Erasmus and interns who need a room fast and without a guarantor
  • Remote booking with a landlord reply deadline
  • A visa-friendly Certificate of Prepaid Accommodation after booking

Watch out

  • The service fee is a percentage of the first payment — it is only revealed at checkout
  • Under a Strict policy, cancelling inside 30 days refunds nothing but the deposit you never paid
  • Uniplaces is not students-only, but many Berlin rooms are in shared student flats

Uniplaces FAQ for Berlin

Is Uniplaces legit?

Uniplaces is a Lisbon-based marketplace that has processed bookings since 2012 and lists tens of thousands of homes in Europe. Your first rent is held by the platform until after move-in and landlords carry “Trusted” or “Checked” badges. Reviews are mixed, mostly around fees and cancellations, so read the policy on each listing before you book.

How much is the Uniplaces service fee?

It is a one-time percentage of your first rental payment and is shown at checkout; Uniplaces does not publish the rate. For a room in a shared flat it applies to that room’s rent only. It is only charged once the landlord accepts, and it is not refunded if you cancel. FlatHunt’s Uniplaces promo code reduces it by 20% (up to €150).

What is the minimum stay on Uniplaces?

28 days. Most Berlin rooms are rented for a semester or longer, and some landlords set higher minimums on the listing.

What is the Uniplaces cancellation policy?

Each landlord picks one of four policies. Under the default Moderate policy you get the first rent back in full if you cancel more than 60 days before the contract starts, 50% between 30 and 60 days, and nothing under 30 days. Flexible and Strict shift those windows; Non-refundable gives nothing back. The service fee is never refunded when the tenant cancels.

Who pays the deposit and when?

The deposit is agreed with and paid to the landlord, not to Uniplaces, usually around move-in. Some listings add a holding deposit that is charged together with the first rent and forwarded to the landlord.

Can I get Anmeldung with a Uniplaces room in Berlin?

It depends on the landlord. Many Berlin listings state that a Wohnungsgeberbestätigung is provided after the contract is signed; some short-stay rooms do not allow registration. Check the listing text or ask the landlord in the chat before paying.

Is Uniplaces only for students?

No. Uniplaces serves students, Erasmus participants, interns and young professionals alike. FlatHunt marks Uniplaces rooms as student-friendly but does not assume you are a student; only listings that explicitly say “students only” carry that tag.
