Social Responsibility


In our pursuit of making a positive impact on both our local community and the environment, we take sustainability seriously at Supernova Hotel. For every skipped cleaning during your stay, we make a donation to the local charity "Stem Zonder Gezicht," which supports children living in poverty in Rotterdam.

Voice for All Children


Stem Zonder Gezicht primarily operates in the Feijenoord district of Rotterdam and serves as a voice for all children who lack their basic necessities, those who remain invisible due to poverty. Together with the community, they organize activities that contribute to the development and growth of the growing youth. They make every effort to initiate socio-cultural projects, ensuring that even the most vulnerable children have the best opportunities to develop their full potential.

Your contribution in the form of skipping the interim cleaning is directly allocated to:
  • Fresh bed linens and covers for families in need, as many unfortunately do not have these basic essentials.
  • School lunches.
  • Talent development programs accessible to all children at the neighborhood level, ensuring equal opportunities for every child.
  • Initiatives stemming from The Children's Neighborhood Council, established to empower children to share their own ideas and wishes for their community. View their message for their first term here.
  • School supplies, often provided through the annual Back 2 School initiative.
Your generosity makes all of this possible!
