    I am working at an international super-fast-growing tech company and we are revolutionising hoteliers around the globe. RoomRaccoon is awarded the world's best Hotel Management System for 2 years in a row and empowers hoteliers to run their property way more effectively. Our growing team of 110+ heads is working from at least 4 offices all over the world

    "It's an exciting time to join RoomRaccoon. Through innovation, we have been able to enter many different markets and grow our international team of professionals who are dedicated to helping RoomRaccoon with its mission of becoming the world's number one hotel management system." - Tijmen van Dijl (CEO & Co-Founder)

    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.
