At YOSAA, we're not just about booking accommodations; we're about creating memories. Our journey began with a simple yet powerful vision: to revolutionize the way individuals and companies find and book serviced apartments across Europe's most vibrant cities.
Our Story
Bella, Jouke, and Michael shared a vision of transforming the way business travelers experience new destinations. They saw the need for a platform that not only meets but exceeds expectations, providing outstanding customer service, transparency, and a passion for excellence. Seeing this gap in the industry, they combined their expertise in hospitality and real estate to create a platform that offers more than just a place to stay—it offers a genuine sense of home wherever guests go.
"We all had the same vision for global mobility, a commitment to duty of care, and recognized the importance of local knowledge and reach." – Jouke Baaima-
In 2016, Bella Nokes, from At Home Switzerland, crossed paths with Jouke Baaima and Michael Berendsen from Serviced Apartments.nl. Little did they know, this meeting would mark the beginning of a journey that redefined global mobility and accommodation. It was a match made in hospitality heaven, and the rest is history!
“The idea to work together was there from the beginning, so the decision to do exactly that was easily made.” – Bella Nokes-
COVID became a pivotal moment with many disruptions but also positive changes. Other big platforms were shut down and being sold but one main question arose in all three minds: ‘how do we stay ahead and remain key players?’
Our Team
To stay ahead, it's all about teamwork and sharing the same work ethic and DNA. At YOSAA, we are driven by a passion for creating amazing experiences and fostering strong connections with our customers and partners.
“Our goal is to build deep, trust-based relationships with local corporations.” – Michael Berendsen –
Behind the scenes, you'll find a dedicated crew of professionals with years of expertise in hospitality and real estate. With offices strategically located in the Netherlands and Switzerland, we leverage our local knowledge and extensive industry connections to ensure that every aspect of your stay is unforgettable.

YOSAA aims to be a European platform with a local presence, delivering on promises made to stakeholders and a culture centred around the new generation.

ESG - Our Shared Home
At YOSAA, we are deeply committed to Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) principles because we recognize the critical importance of protecting our planet and fostering social responsibility for the well-being of all. Sustainability is not just a buzzword for us; it's ingrained in our core values and influences every aspect of our operations.
Understanding the significant environmental impact of travel, we are steadfast in our dedication to minimizing our carbon footprint. From implementing energy-efficient practices in our offices to advocating for eco-conscious transportation options, we continuously strive to reduce our environmental footprint.
Our offices are designed with sustainability in mind! We have transitioned to paperless systems to reduce waste and minimize resource consumption. Moreover, we actively promote remote work and alternative transportation methods among our employees to reduce emissions from commuting.
Over the years, we have partnered with like-minded organizations that share our passion for sustainability! We encourage these partners to adopt eco-friendly practices, such as using energy-efficient appliances and reducing waste, in the properties they manage.
At YOSAA, we believe that sustainability is a collective responsibility. That's why we are deeply engaged with our community on ESG issues, collaborating with local organizations and spearheading educational programs to drive positive environmental and social change. Together, we are committed to creating a sustainable future for generations to come.
