What are some of the best alternatives to Airbnb to rent flats, rooms and tourist apartments during the summer?
Summer is just around the corner, and with it, the holidays we have been waiting for since the beginning of the year. The first name that comes to mind to rent a tourist apartment is Airbnb. Currently the platform based in San Francisco is one of the best pages to rent rooms and flats for tourism purposes. The good thing is that there are many alternatives to Airbnb to rent not only flats and rooms, but also apartments and hotels with personalized offers.
In addition to hotels and hostels, Booking.com has an offer of more than 6 million houses, apartments and, in general, tourist flats to rent during the summer located in more than 220 different countries.
With a system very similar to Airbnb, we can take advantage of being Gold or Silver users to obtain even better prices than other platforms.
Surely the best alternative to Airbnb to rent holiday flats. With an interface very similar to that of Airbnb, it has a multitude of filters that allow us to classify the results by parameters such as the type of house (studio, rural house, apartment ...), the number of guests and extras such as the presence of public or private pools.
As far as the number of ads and the price of the accommodation that refers, HomeAway has nothing to envy to other alternatives.
With a philosophy very different from the rest of pages of rental of holiday flats, Homestay is a platform whose operation is based on the rental of housing with shared stay with the owners of the house, so that the rental price is significantly lower than other alternatives to Airbnb.
In addition to holiday rentals, you can find offers for stays for work, for studies or for temporary transfers. Currently the Homestay offer amounts to more than 33,000 homes in more than 160 countries.
Page owned by the famous web TripAdvisor, the operation of Housetrip is practically identical to that of Airbnb. The advantage of being subject to the authorship of TripAvisor is based on the veracity of the opinions of the different users, having the same rating system as the latter.
It does not have a very large number of ads, especially if you compare the web with other alternatives. The good thing is that you have payment insurance in case of any problem related to the stay.
As the name suggests, Kidandcoe is a page in English rental apartments with special attention to families with children. The authors, in fact, claim to have visited each of the rooms advertised on the web to verify that the conditions of the home are suitable for the stay of minors.
This is the reason why the number of ads available has nothing to do with the other alternatives to Airbnb. You can currently find apartments in cities such as Barcelona, London, Amsterdam, New York, Paris and many more. The price, of course, is significantly higher than the rest of the pages, as these are homes adapted to families.
Page that, like Housetrip, belongs to TripAvisor. As far as features are concerned, the portal does not show any apparent difference with Housetrip, beyond being a website whose only and main language is English. Otherwise, FlipKey is a page identical to the latter.
Comment system based on TripAdvisor, many destinations based on houses, flats and apartments and more than 300,000 rentals available for this summer.
Recently popularized, Wimdu currently has more than 350,000 holiday apartment rentals.
Today is one of the cheapest alternatives to Airbnb, with prices that touch the 15 euros per night and guest in cities such as Barcelona or Madrid, as announced by the platform itself.
For the rest, the web has the same functions as the rest of the portals to rent flats during the summer. As an option to be highlighted, Wimdu has homes that range from boats, campsites and castles to shared rooms, private rooms and "Bed and Breakfast" accommodations.
Although it is not a page dedicated exclusively to private vacation rentals, HotDogHolidays focuses its catalog on stays that allow dogs, cats, and in general, pets among their guests.
In what number of offers, the page announces that it has more than 270,000 hotels, rural houses, holiday flats and apartments, with stays in the most tourist countries in the world. Spain, France, Italy, United States, Denmark, Netherlands, United Kingdom ...
We reached the end with Couchsurfing, a website with which we will not have to pay absolutely anything to find accommodation.
With a philosophy similar to that of Homestay, Couchsurfing is a platform of "exchange of experiences and cultures" where many hosts offer their homes to share their stay with other guests in exchange for sharing experiences and cultures.
Is it reliable? Its users say yes through the rating system with which the web counts. It should be added, in addition, that "surfers" will have to adapt to the limitations that the owner of the house imposes, such as schedules or ways to access the house. Of course, guests will have to take care of their own food.
