HouseTrip SA

Company founded: March 2009

Online marketplace for holiday rentals.

HouseTrip is one of Europe’s largest holiday rental booking websites. The concept is simple: when taking a trip, anyone can book a private rental for the price of a hotel room. HouseTrip is easier and safer because guests book an apartment like they’d book a hotel, online and with a credit card. HouseTrip allows guests pay securely at the time of booking, only transferring payment to the host when the guests have started their stay. Holiday owners also benefit from free listings on HouseTrip.

HouseTrip.com was launched in January 2010 and has offices in Switzerland (Lausanne), Portugal (Lisbon) and the UK (London). HouseTrip already has more than 92,000 listings in over 8,000 destinations worldwide, with new accommodation being added every day. The company is financed by Index Ventures, Balderton Capital, and various business angels.
