The marketplace

Our marketplace is a comprehensive and personalized product with over two million properties worldwide. Today online marketplaces and sharing economies, like Amazon, Ebay, and Uber, are common because they can help connect interested parties quickly and easily. 

We help connect owners and property managers with potential guests and provide an online platform for complete transactions from bookings to payments. And because every traveler and every property is unique, we use our data-driven approach to help make the right match.

Our marketplace provides a platform you can rely on to conduct business safely and securely. 

The marketplace offers these features:

• Secure platform for renting and listing a property
• Guarantees of payment to the lister, and the property to the traveler
• Tools to support transactions: online booking and payments, plus instant booking
• Ongoing fraud monitoring
• Legal framework for transactions
• 24-hour customer support

Improving your performance in the marketplace may seem like a lot of work, but following some simple guidelines can help your property stand out. The Big 4 is a framework that can help you create amazing end-to-end traveler experiences.

Your dashboard can do more than just help you manage your account and renew listings. It also provides valuable market insights that can help increase your bookings and revenue.

For property managers who use software, the dashboard works with your software to provide competitive insights specific to our marketplace. Here you'll find valuable information on how travelers search and book, and how your properties perform.

Before a traveler books a property, they usually spend some time shopping around. They weigh the pros and cons of multiple properties — from price and location to specific amenities — before they choose. Knowing what travelers value most when they book a property in your market can give you a big advantage!
