What makes OpenRoom different...

01

The tournament

Every month we run a tournament and invite families and groups of friends to book a house and play. The group picks from 38 roles inspired by movie and real-life characters, and each role carries its own activities — 465 so far.

  • Everyone plays their role for the whole trip. It is summer camp for adults.
  • Friends and families come to OpenRoom looking for a house to book for the tournament.
  • To compete, the group uploads a photo dump of the trip. That dump lives on your property, and it links back to the house they stayed at.
  • The winning group gets up to 100% of their stay back.

Free valuable data

We gather market information for every destination we work in, and we give it to you for free.

  • You get the year broken into moments: when demand moves, who is travelling in each one, what they pay, and how far ahead they book.
  • Every number comes written down with its logic and its source.
  • It is also how we drive traffic to your properties: we time the demand and redirect it to OpenRoom.
  • We read a market like this because we come out of property management.

Your own brand

Every host on OpenRoom gets a social profile, not just a listing page. A new way for travelers to discover your properties.

  • A social platform for people who want to travel, and any post links to a listing. One tap and they are on your calendar!
  • You already have the content. Post it here too and build an audience of your own.
  • No influencers needed. The audience is yours, even if you lose the property.
  • It also helps you win houses. Owners sign the manager who already has the audience.

Properties with personality

We help you create properties with a history. Not just another listing.

  • Every property you have gets a wall with a photo dump of every group that has stayed there.
  • People will not just read reviews anymore. They will see who stayed there, and that is what might convince them. If they spot a friend, or someone they follow, that is the booking.
  • This way you build a healthy relationship with your guests, by offering a discount in exchange for the photo, which may also help reduce the damage they leave behind.

And now the boring part...

14%Commission, charged only when a booking is made.
24 hoursAfter your guest checks in, your payout is sent.
3 to 7 daysFor it to land in your account.Business days, depending on your bank.

Your price, your rules

  • You set your own nightly rates, discounts, variable pricing and seasonal adjustments, from your dashboard.
  • You choose a cancellation policy per property, from five tiers.

How bookings reach you

  • Directly. The guest books and the reservation is confirmed on the spot. Your calendar blocks itself and you do nothing — the stay is already yours.
  • Manually. The request comes to you first with the group, the dates and the total, and you have 24 hours to accept or decline before it expires.

When something breaks

  1. Every booking carries a security deposit, taken from the guest when they book.
  2. You report the damage and send us your evidence.
  3. We share it with the guest and calculate the cost.
  4. The deposit covers it.
  5. If the damage costs more than the deposit, we pursue payment from the guest directly, and we can look at waiving our commission until the rest is covered.

Taxes and permits

  • In some US jurisdictions we collect and remit the applicable taxes for you. Those are pre-configured on your listing.
  • Everywhere else the taxes are yours to configure. We suggest a setup based on our research, you can adjust it, and the final call is yours.
  • Every month you get a report by booking, showing what we filed and what we passed back to you.
  • If your jurisdiction needs a licence or permit displayed, we reach out case by case and help you upload it.

Calendar and PMS

We are building integrations with the leading channel managers and property management systems in the US, so your calendar, rates and availability stay in sync automatically.
