misterb&b is a paid booking platform dedicated to the gay community. Aimed mainly at men, this website connects those who want to share their accommodation on a short term basis with those who like to travel, through a database that references all rooms, apartments and houses.

misterb&b connects 135 countries and 200,000 hosts, catalyzing the gay community through travel and discovery. A true showcase of collaborative tourism, it is the leader in travel booking for the gay community in a world that is increasingly open and easy to visit thanks to a simple Esta form(formesta.org)*

Notice to travelers

The company works as a social network that allows you to take the necessary information as in a travel guide to not miss anything of LGBT events around the planet. The posting on the site is free, the company takes 5% from the renter on the price of the proposed accommodation and 12% on the traveler's bill.

The search parameters allow you to determine the city, the date of stay, the number of travelers but also to choose a "gay" or "gay friendly" rental, accepting or not pets, etc. The ranking named "Top Rentals" reports the best rentals in the same city thanks to the ratings, comments and reviews.

To make a reservation, two options are available:

- Ask directly and fill in your credit card number. The host must accept the reservation within 24 hours, the credit card is charged only if the reservation is accepted and automatically validated.

- Go through the site using the "CONTACT" button which allows you to talk to several hosts at the same time. When the host approves the request, the traveler has 24 hours to validate and pay the order.

Become a MisterB&B host

In addition to earning money, human wealth is a factor to consider. Thanks to the reciprocal reviews, the host has the possibility to know the traveler before he really gets to know him. Each host is automatically insured at no extra cost. A customer service is available to ensure the compliance of the ad throughout the registration process, but also to answer any type of question, it can be reached by phone and email.

To create an ad, you need to describe the accommodation, specify the number of travelers who can be accommodated, insert photos and details, indicate the price and validate your ad, everything is simple and easy to do. Afterwards it is necessary to update the calendar to optimize the rental system and to be attentive to the travelers' requests for information. To be paid by bank transfer, it is necessary to count 5/7 days after the arrival of the customer, the delay by Paypal is faster (between 24 and 72 hours).
