Rent a room to the world

To planÂ a holiday with minimum expenses you need to be a lucky web surfer and come across theÂ right web page, the right last minute offer or to win a holiday at your local radio stationÂ competition. Don’t rush to press Google’s “I’m feeling lucky” button, because we have alreadyÂ found a website offering cheap accommodation around the world. The aim of this website is to coverÂ all countries, but for the time being it has offers only in Canada, Australia, New Zealand, South Africa, the UK and the US, Spain and a few more.

Visitors who plan to go to the UK for example, can search for a room (or a sofa)in London orÂ Bristol, prices starting from Â£10 per night. Travellers can choose the dates (if the room is available) or can see details about the owner and a map with the location. Owners provide pictures of the room, details about amenities and price per night.

There is a very useful facility on the website which helps owners value their room. They canÂ select the country, the area, write the sizes of the room and the online calculator does the mathsÂ and shows the money they should ask for the room. This is helpful when setting the price for aÂ room.

People would choose this alternative because it is cheaper, allows them to meet locals and setÂ basis for friendship and to feel a part of a family.

The service offered by Roomft.com (Room For Travellers) is free for both owners and travellers.
