  • Disclaimer : Thanks so much for your excitement about joining RoomRaccoon! We’re lucky to have so many talented people eager to be part of our team, so we’re reviewing applications as they come in. If you don’t hear from us within three weeks, it means we’ve decided to move forward with other candidates this time—but don’t be discouraged! Keep an eye on our careers page, and we’d love for you to apply for roles that fit your talents in the future!

    The hotel industry is at the very heart of the RoomRaccoon story.

    Our Founder, Nadja Buckenberger, faced many challenges when she opened the doors of the Bliss Boutique Hotel in Breda in 2014.

    She couldn’t find a single affordable solution to manage all aspects of her property. That’s when she decided to join forces with her partner, tech entrepreneur Tymen van Dyl to create one that could.

    In 2016, Tymen began building software that would solve Nadja’s three central pain points by combining a Property Management System (PMS) with a channel manager and booking engine – a technological feat!

    The software worked wonders for the Bliss Hotel and piqued the interest of other regional hotels.

    We officially launched in January 2017, and six months later, we had over 100 hotels on board. Today, RoomRaccoon is the world’s most complete HMS for independent accommodations with 10 – 100 rooms.
