Holiday apartments news and tips; the voice of HouseTrip   About us

Congrats to Swiss entrepreneurs!

Last Thursday in London took place the Techcrunch Europas award for Europe’s best start-ups. For 12 award categories, 50 start-ups were represented including 5 Swiss ones:

Poken


Big congratulations to all! Our fellow Swiss entrepreneurs also won some awards since Poken was elected “Best Real Life Gadget”, Amazee made it to the second place for “Best Social Innovation” and Amiando got a second place as well for “Best Web Application”.

The party was not only reserved to entrepreneurs: there were 2 investors’ awards. There again, a Swiss investor, Index Ventures, got a second place in the category “Best Investor”. Does it mean they invest more often? :-)

Let’s cross our fingers that HouseTrip makes it to the event next year!

You can also read about the event on TechCrunch, Amazee’s blog and Poken’s blog.

About

HouseTrip is Europe’s largest holiday rental website.  

Our clever guests have realized that for the price of a tiny, soulless hotel room they can have an entire house, or apartment, or castle, or boat… We give them over 10,000 choices in hundreds of destinations across the world, many with unbiased reviews from previous guests – and the list is growing every day.

Our guests love that a HouseTrip is an authentic trip, allowing them to live like the locals do. They can shop for produce at the markets and whip up a feast in their very own kitchen, or even put a load of washing on.

Renting through HouseTrip is safer, because guests use their credit card to pay online using our secure system – no more risky money transfers. Plus, we don’t pay the host until after they’ve checked in and are assured that the property is what they were expecting.
