Who am I?
I’m Diet Daleman, former owner of 7 accommodation locations in Groningen and founder of the international booking platform OvernachteninStijl.nl and cultural community StayinGroningen.com. Since 2009, I’ve been active in the hospitality industry (initially as a hobby alongside my job). Over the past 16 years, we’ve hosted guests from all over the world in our accommodations. Several years in a row, I have won the title of “Best Apartment in the Netherlands” during the Zoover Awards. I’ve also managed vacation rentals on behalf of other property owners — a very valuable experience. My team and I took full responsibility: welcoming guests, keeping properties in top shape, and taking care of everything in between.
Today, I focus on expanding our websites, improving SEO and visibility, and helping our clients grow their businesses. I truly enjoy this work every single day.
Over the years, we’ve developed our own PMS and Channel Manager — initially just for our own accommodations and direct clients. Since 2021, we’ve made our product and services available to other hotels and property owners under the name BoostmyBookings.com.
We offer a personal, small-team service that works particularly well for busy hospitality professionals who need reliable support.
What Others Are Saying
“We’ve been working with Diet Daleman and BoostmyBookings since 2020. We started with zero experience and only Booking.com as our channel. Diet and her team helped us expand and streamline our bookings. The custom booking engine means we’re no longer dependent on external platforms. The system tracks everything: stays, pricing, occupancy, guest communication, etc. Some keywords for Diet and her team: Fast, helpful, user-friendly, always available, great to work with, and highly knowledgeable. We’ll definitely continue using their services for years to come!” – Rick Roelfsema, Room Division Manager - The Happy Traveler, Groningen. Check out more recommendations here.
