The honest rental platform
for Budapest.
We built Lakoo because we lived the problem. Moving to Budapest as expats, we hit the same wall every time: listings in Hungarian only, agencies charging one full month's rent as commission, and no structured way to track anything.
So we built the alternative. A platform where renters can find apartments without language barriers, owners can list without paying commission, and agencies can run their operations without spreadsheets and WhatsApp chaos.
Our principles
Three things we never compromise on
Transparent
No hidden fees. No surprise commissions. Every price you see on Lakoo is the price you pay. We make money from subscriptions, not from taking a cut of your rent.
No commissions
Traditional agencies charge one month's rent — 800€ to 1,500€ — just to hand you a set of keys. We think that's broken. Lakoo never charges renters a commission.
Multilingual
Budapest has 45,000+ expats and growing. Every listing on Lakoo is available in English. We auto-translate to make sure language is never a barrier to finding your flat.
For agencies
Lakoo Agency — the modern stack
for Budapest property agencies
Most Budapest agencies are still running on WhatsApp, Excel, and copy-pasted descriptions. Agents lose 2 hours a day to scheduling visits manually. Listings are Hungarian-only, missing the 45,000 expats actively looking for flats. And there's zero structured follow-up — every lead lives in someone's head.
AI-powered replies
Automated booking assistant answers leads and schedules visits around the clock — no agent intervention needed.
CRM pipeline
Full lead tracking from first message to signed contract. Kanban view, activity timeline, and zero manual entry.
Expat reach
Every listing auto-translated to English with an expat attractiveness score. Reach buyers and renters your competitors cannot.
Team accounts
Each agent gets a profile. Shared pipeline and listings — no info siloed in a phone.

What we stand for
Our values
Speed
Rental markets move fast. We build features in days, not sprints. When something breaks, we fix it the same day.
Trust
Every listing is verified. Every agent is real. We'd rather have fewer listings than let bad actors ruin the experience for renters.
Transparency
We publish our pricing, our policies, and our roadmap. No dark patterns. No hidden upsells. What you see is what you get.
