HomeToGo's mission is to make incredible homes easily accessible to everyone.
Travel accommodation trends have long since migrated away from hotels to vacation rentals, but renters will usually need to know exactly what they are looking for to find something of good value. Marketplaces for holiday rentals exist, but existing examples are often uninspiring, riddled with sponsored accommodation, and subject to expensive rental fees.
HomeToGo provides an online marketplace for vacation rentals, focusing on providing a personalized user experience to help users find accommodation that suits their individual preferences. As opposed to charging customers fees, the company makes money by charging an affiliate commission when successfully matching a customer with a property owner.
Whilst vacation rental marketplace giants such as Airbnb and Booking.com present significant competition, HomeToGo’s fee-free approach allows it to stand out to customers in the market. Their commission-based business model is also aided by its unique focus on providing vacation destination inspiration, collecting users' personal preferences, and matching them with the perfect accommodation. +++ The Berlin travel company HomeToGo is taking over the majority of KMW Reisen, known for kurz-mal-weg.de , and Super Urlaub (including kurzurlaub.de ). "Through the transaction, HomeToGo will hold a 51% majority stake in the combined company. The takeover enables HomeToGo to further strengthen its world-leading marketplace on both the demand and supply side. The themed short break and hotel offers of Kurz Mal Weg and Kurzurlaub are particularly popular in the low season. This complements HomeToGo's existing strong demand in the high season and opens up up- and cross-selling opportunities all year round," says a press release. HomeToGo is putting 31 million on the table for the takeover. More about HomeToGo
