What they say
I discovered Brukot in 2011. Very quickly I felt at ease with the simple, friendly interface. In fifteen years I have never had a single day of vacancy. I ended up renting up to six rooms to master's students and to young workers on internships. What a pleasure, too, to meet young adults from all over the world (fourteen nationalities!).
A Kotaliège user for 7 years, I am still pleasantly surprised by how quickly contacts come in. Congratulations on this fine tool, efficient for tenants and landlords alike, and congratulations too on your sustained efforts to keep improving it!
I had been trying for over a month to re-let my daughter's room through other intermediaries, without real success. The listing was published on Tuesday evening, and on Saturday it was rented.
I am French, a student in Liège for 6 months. I found a lovely room thanks to Kotaliege. The site is practical and there is plenty of choice, far more than in France!
A short email to tell the Brukot team that you are really great. I have used Brukot for almost 3 years and I always advertise on many different sites. And I must say Brukot is the best site by far, by very far.
The studio was rented in 2 days thanks to you! Thank you and congratulations on how easy to use and how clear your site is.
