Search for a room

Send a booking request
Fill in the booking request form by sharing a bit about yourself and adding your payment details. The landlord has 48 hours to reply to your request. If they accept it, we will automatically charge you with the first month of rent and our one-time service fee. Our fee allows us to offer you extra protection and support, such as free booking request withdrawal and a 24-hour safety period.
Move in to your new home!
Get in touch with your landlord to arange your check-in, and the method you will use to pay for your monthly rent during your stay. On the day you move in, take a quick tour to make sure your new home matches the original listing. If everything is okay, remember to pay the security deposit directly to your landlord.
Your payment is safe with us!
As an added security measure, we only transfer your payment to the landlord 24 hours after you move in to give you enough time to check if your new place matches the original listing. In case it doesn't, report a move-in issue on your dashboard. And remember: never make payments outside the Uniplaces website.

Uniplaces is one of the successful Portuguese startups. It is distinguished by being an online accommodation platform where students from anywhere in the world can book an apartment or room in an easy and secure way. It aims to eliminate the insecurity of any international student, facilitating the process of finding and booking a home. At the same time it helps homeowners to rent their houses, in less time and in a more profitable way. The main objective of this process was to re-assesment the current Salesforce in order to understand how we could make it more efficient and how it could bridge some processes that were not yet represented within the existing Salesforce solution. Uniplaces was one of the first start-ups to be born at the Startup Lisboa incubator (an initiative of the municipality - at the time led by António Costa - and Montepio). In 2016, at the inauguration of the new Uniplaces offices in Lisbon (located in the Rossio area), the current Prime Minister, António Costa, the Minister of Economy, Caldeira Cabral, the then Secretary of State for Industry, João Vasconcelos (who at the time from the foundation of Uniplaces were director of Startup Lisboa) were present. And António Costa took the opportunity to tell a story. Uniplaces, which owns an online platform for the accommodation of university students, has surpassed the threshold of 100 million euros in rent for owners and landlords since the creation of the platform in 2012. Miguel also adds that 'foreigners in Portugal represent more than 90% of UniPaces' turnover' - an example of entrepreneurship that you can review in the report by.
