NGB Living: shared rooms in Berlin with an all-inclusive model

NGB Living is a Berlin-based provider of rooms in shared flats (WGs). The company presents a rental model in which a single price covers all costs, described on its website as "ALL INCLUSIVE*". The asterisk refers to operating costs being based on the German standard value, with additional costs to be paid by tenants. The minimum rental period is six months, which the company equates with one semester; longer bookings or stays with an open end date are handled by direct contact.

A four-step booking process

The website outlines a process in four steps: selecting the property, sending the requested documents, paying after confirmation and moving in. The company states that its processes are fully digitalised, so documents can be submitted and viewed online. It describes this as "Easy, Safe and Fast".

What the rent includes and what tenants bring

According to the company, the all-inclusive rent covers all costs, subject to the operating-cost caveat mentioned above. The message to prospective tenants is to bring personal belongings and leave the rest to the provider. The website does not itemise furniture, utilities or other inclusions beyond this general statement.

Languages and international tenants

NGB Living states that it can communicate in English, German, Hindi and Russian, and that this linguistic diversity is also reflected in its shared flats. The site does not specify the number of rooms, buildings or districts covered.

Customer feedback shown on the site

The website displays three testimonials. Brigitte T. describes having found a room immediately after needing to leave her apartment shortly before Christmas, and highlights the location, the flatmates and the fully equipped apartment. Marie R. calls the model an ideal start in a new city, with one price and no hidden costs, while noting the 1,000-euro deposit and recommending it as a temporary solution before moving to a regular apartment. Kevin K. reports having lived in a shared flat for almost two years, says the provider addressed problems directly, and mentions difficulties with cleaning in the apartment and with flatmates. These are individual experiences reproduced as published by the company, not an independent assessment.

Business details

The operator is identified on the site as NGB Verwaltungs- & Beteiligungsgesellschaft mbH, with a registered address in Berlin. The company also lists partners, without naming them in the available text.
