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.
