Germany · DACH · The Netherlands

One standard for short-stay living — whoever's door you walk through.

Dropby runs its own short-term rental apartments to a consistent standard, and helps other property owners run theirs the same way. Think of us as the operator standardizing short-stays across the region — book a Dropby address, or hand us yours.

One philosophy, three crafts

Everything we build serves the same short-term rental category — from the room you book to the system that runs it.

01 — Stays

Apartments, run our way

Our own units, direct-booked, designed and operated to one consistent standard guests can rely on every time.

02 — Hosting as a Service

The operating system for hosts

We take over pricing, guest communication, check-in and platform management for owners who'd rather not do it themselves.
