Community & Experience
The Colivers say it best
Edward
“Having spent 8 months taking care of myself for various reasons, I’m happy to have found Colive for housing. Excellent service, very good communication, a very understanding team when there are little glitches. I can’t think of a single negative point, and I’d give a 100% recommendation to anyone who needs a roof over their head to discover a city.
Little plus: Colive is ideal for those looking for accommodation despite the many scams that can be found on social network accommodation groups.
I recommend it, it was great (I’d give it more than 5 stars if I could) 😊”
Bernardo
“As a former tenant of Colive Botanique (Brussels), I can say that I had a very good experience with them. Colive’s residences are very well-equiped and they even have some rooms with a private bathroom. At the same time, the concept of living in a shared residence also gave me a great opportunity to know amazing people, expats like me, and share good times with them.
Colive’s team has always been helpful and kind. If you want to spend some time in Brussels or even start your independent adult life, Colive’s residences can definitely be an advantageous choice by a reasonable cost.”
Romain
“The Colive team is very active and responds quickly to our needs when they arise. Imagine a world where administrative processes are simple. Well, that’s what Colive allowed me to experience during my stay with them. Everything was quick and easy. That’s a real plus!
The houses and flats they offer are large and allow you to thrive in a generally international collocation, while offering cheaper prices than other Ikohab and Cohabs for example! So, of course, I’d recommend going with them!”
Lucie
“I was lucky enough to stay at Colive Flagey 2 in Brussels for 5 months.
The house was magnificent, and my room very nice! Thank you to the Colive team for their responsiveness and friendliness throughout my stay!
I recommend Colive for those who want to :
– enjoy a shared flat experience
– create unforgettable memories with their roommates
– travel
– improve their interpersonal skills
– become part of the Colive family
Thanks to Colive, I came to Brussels alone, but now I’m leaving with 9 people I hold dear to my heart.
Thank you for this :)”
Tom
“Almost 1 year at Colive and I love it! Big house with big room and everything is done to make it simple and efficient from arrival to departure!
Big up to the Colive in-house team, so nice and super open!
Thanks again and maybe see you soon!
I recommend 100%.”
Matea
Such a great place for a longer stay in Lisbon. I was staying at the Colive in Alameda for 3 months, the whole experience was so good and if I am ever coming back to Lisbon staying with colive will be my first choice. Met so many new people and the whole coliving experience was just memorable.
James
Great location, amazing people and beautiful house! Our house in Arts-Loi was pretty quiet and always pretty neat even if we were 8, it worked our so well! I’ve always had space for myself and could always socialize in the common spaces or so, also the events were a great way to meet people! I’d def recommend it!
Olivia
Colive is the place to be if you need to find a room in Brussels. The staff is super friendly, the rooms are cosy and clean and they are always ready to help if you have any issue. Additionally, they also organise social events for the members, such as running, drinks at a bar, etc. I highly recommend Colive 🙂

Incredible experience at Colive! The service is excellent and the Colive team is top notch! The room was exactly like the pictures, very comfortable, and the house was hot!

It’s the easy way to find accommodation without having to run around… Super good support from the team who searched for me. They really listened and were quite responsive! In the end, I would have stayed much longer, but all good things must come to an end! I wish you all the best!
