New Website Offers Alternative to Hotels
Creator of the world’s biggest flat sharing website EasyRoommate.com.au has launched its ground-breaking travel accommodation website in Australia, WhereToSleep.com.au.
The website provides an affordable alternative to hotels and other accommodation by linking holidaymakers, business travellers and backpackers to private hosts who can provide a range of accommodation options from a couch in Bondi, a bedroom in Cairns, to a country house in Daylesford.
With the strong Australian dollar the website provides a unique social and cultural experience for those holidaymakers looking abroad to getaway this year. The website provides accommodation options for ten countries worldwide (UK, France, Italy, Spain, Germany, Netherlands, Belgium, Portugal, USA and Australia). The website also has a wider global reach so travellers and holidaymakers will be able to search for accommodation anywhere in the world.
WhereToSleep.com.au global PR manager Karen Richards said, “This website is something new for Australians who largely haven’t had direct exposure to private holiday accommodation options.
Now, there’s a real choice from hotels when travelling in Australia and overseas.”
“In Europe people are finding renting private accommodation is a way of experiencing home away from home. You get a unique travel perspective by getting insights into how locals live, their culture, and of course their invaluable recommendations on what to see and do — giving you a memorable experience.
“Accommodation seekers get plenty of time to know their host before visiting. This is done by asking every guest and host to create a detailed profile, allowing both parties to learn more about each other before entering into an arrangement,” Ms Richards said.
A review system where the guest can rate the host, and vice versa, helps create a community atmosphere for guests and hosts all of who can see reviews published on the site.
