How to book a room?

Register
Go to www.maastrichthousing.com and click on students.
You will see 4 options and you need to choose the option Summer School/Games 2016. You need to register to the website, which will cost €35 once. 

Select a room
The website automatically filters the Guesthouse UM offerings that do not apply to your specific student type. Some Guesthouse UM locations are allocated to exchange students, while others are only available for bachelor’s and/or master’s students.

1. You will be asked to indicate your exact arrival and departure dates. The search results will be limited to the options that are still available.
2. Select the option ‘Reserve now’, which is visible after you select a room.

You will now be asked to pay. This is the rent for the days you will be staying at the Guesthouse.  The room is not yet reserved until we receive the down payment! Until that time, other students will be able to book the room. This system is comparable to that used by hotels. Once the down payment has been processed, you will receive an official confirmation email.

Payment
After you select a room, you will be automatically redirected to the payment page. Follow the instructions on the screen. We accept the following payment methods:
a. iDEAL
b. PayPal
c. GiroPay
d. International or domestic bank transfer
Payment via credit card can only be accepted if the credit card is connected to your PayPal account.

Room assignment
After the down payment has been received, our employees will confirm your booking. You will receive an email confirming your reservation.
If someone else booked the room while you were waiting for your payment to be processed, we will convert your down payment into positive credits that can be used to book another available room in a location of your choosing. Once you select a new room, you will be assigned to it immediately (since your down payment has already been received). If the Guesthouse UM becomes fully booked while your down payment is in process, we can refund it to you; in that case, please send us a message at Guesthouse@maastrichtuniversity.nl. Please note: the Maastricht Housing membership fee is nonrefundable!
