The hotel alternative, onefinestay lets guests stay in a home while its owner is out of town, and hosts earn a hassle-free income
Enter the unhotel
Who wants to stay in a hotel anymore? Not our guests. onefinestay is a service that offers its members short-stay accommodation in cities around the world that's better value and more unique than any hotel. We think that staying in a home is so much more interesting and authentic — especially when you don't compromise on the creature comforts. It's a new idea, so we've given it a new name — the unhotel.Who are our guests?
Our members are just like you: sophisticated travellers such as business people, professionals and families with children. They want something that hotels can't offer — a unique take on a world class city. And by staying in your home for a few days when you're away they get exactly that; the chance to live like a local.Being a host
Becoming a onefinestay host isn't just about opening your doors so people can stay in your home. Work with us, and you'll benefit from a complete service — from insurance and marketing through to cleaning and tidying, your home gets looked after totally while you're not in it. And, of course, there's extra doubloons for you too.

We take care of everything you need so you won’t have to do a thing
It’s hassle free, that’s the big thing. Once you’re set up and ready to go then your only real involvement is logging onto the website and allocating when you’re going to be away.

We manage your home while you’re out of town so you can sleep well, just like your guests
Our house is being looked after and especially in London it’s great to know someone is in our house when we are away.

They took a lot of care to make my home look as good as it could be – and it really does look fantastic on the site.

It’s a smart, effortless way of making money
The money I made in the summer from the bookings has been put back into the house. It’s a big house and it needs a lot of upkeep.

Secure and safe, we’ve got the systems to ensure peace of mind
You are in control
It's your home. So we've made sure that you control it. Our easy-to-use calendar lets you decide how and when your home is available to members. You also set the rules that members have to follow when they come to stay. Whether it's making parts of your home off limits, or asking that shoes are left at the door, we'll respect those — and ensure members do too.
Your home is secure
Earning your trust is essential. Which is why we've spent a lot of time and care developing our security processes. From taking deposits and handling keys, through to insurance, privacy and keeping your things safe, we've got a system in place to handle it. And we've met every onefinestay member who's stayed with us too.
