Boliday.com - Finding Vacation Rentals By Owners

Boliday.com is a brand new online marketplace that has the aim of fostering and encouraging social travel. It is geared towards room owners as a whole. That includes home owners, in-keepers, bed and breakfast owners and other such property owners. On this site they can post their spare beds, rooms or apartments for travelers who are looking for accommodation.

The booking itself is carried out through a regular browse/search and book process, and also through a reverse auction process whereby room owners place bids that meet the needs of travelers.

When all is said and done, Boliday will enable travelers to acquire local experience in a land that is not their own, and those who have a room to spare monetize it and generate and income. That is, a service specially suited to a down economy, as it lets people bitten by wanderlust still travel around the world and those with a passive asset such as a lodging room turn it into a source of income. If either definition applies to you, the site is definitely worth your time.

“Boliday is an online marketplace for enabling and encouraging social travel. We have a single aim of enabling home owners to be able to rent out their homes, apartments, rooms or even a bed or a couch to the travelers who are looking to get a local experience in a distant land. Travelers (Guests) can easily locate and find the suitable living accommodation through our search tool and are able to book the space in a home instead of opting in for an impersonal and expensive hotel. Home Owners (Hosts) list their available spaces for free which can be rented out by these travelers.”

Such a service acts as an apt way for anybody to see the world in a cost-effective fashion.

Are there any fees to be paid for using this system?
