Homestay.com acquires Homestaybooking.com

We’ve got some very exciting news to share with you.

We're delighted to announce that Homestay.com has acquired Homestaybooking.com. This is fantastic news as together we are stronger and solidify our position as the leading online homestay booking platform.

We're growing our global footprint, making it even easier to connect guests with great hosts around the world. The acquisition brings the total number of homestays listed on Homestay.com to 25,000 worldwide.

Our vision is to build a global community of homestay hosts and guests, opening up a world of authentic local travel experiences.

Our hosts are a fundamental part of this vision, which is why we don’t list any empty apartments or houses. In all of our homestays there is a host present during the stay, enhancing the guest’s travel experience through their local knowledge and hospitality.

For our hosts, this is an opportunity to be more easily discovered, grow as a global community and stand out in the marketplace. For guests booking on Homestay.com, it’s now even easier to connect with hosts in more destinations around the world in their search for a homestay experience.

“Homestay.com is positioned to become the leading host-present accommodation marketplace on the Internet, and the homestay travel experience is officially on the radar of experiential travelers worldwide," Homestay.com CEO, Alan Clarke, said.

"These developments will support the growth of new listings and the community-building efforts that will help our hosts succeed, and our guests discover and share their incredible new hosted lodging experiences.”

Homestaybooking founder, Olaf Börner, said: “I am excited by the new opportunities for our homestay hosts and guests to connect globally by being part of Homestay.com.”

We’re thrilled to be growing our global community of like-minded travellers and homestay hosts, who share a passion for authentic local travel experiences.

We hope you share our excitement about the changes and look forward to growing our community together with you.
