Our mission

Tourism stayed fragmented.
We're changing that.

Today, booking a stay and discovering what's around are two completely disconnected experiences. On one side, booking platforms selling nights. On the other, scattered searches on Google Maps, blogs, word of mouth. No one connects the dots.

Hozy was born from that gap.

The problem

No one connects the dots.

Travelers juggle a platform to sleep, a map to search, blogs for inspiration. Hozy brings it all together in one place.

Today

Nights on one side, scattered searches on the other.

Our origins

From field experience
to product vision.

Before building a platform, we ran stays ourselves. We lived the limits of existing solutions from the inside.

Commissions reaching 20%
Travelers left to fend for themselves after booking
Restaurateurs and organizers with no channel to reach those travelers

The question we kept hearing

“What can we do around here?”

Nobody was answering it properly. We decided to build the answer.

Our approach

Validate, then build
to match the ambition.

01
Validate
Our first product confirmed demand. Bookings, revenue, event management. The market responded. But the infrastructure wasn't designed for what we had in mind.
02
Rebuild everything
We chose to rebuild everything. New architecture, new technology, every feature reimagined for performance and scale.

Our vision

A new category.

Existing platforms sell nights. Hozy sells a complete experience.

For the first time, we're connecting stays, experiences and places in a single ecosystem. A traveler booking a stay sees the nearby activities, restaurants and places to discover right away. No more juggling ten tabs: everything is in one place.

Our commitments

A simple, fair model.

For travelers and hosts alike, clear rules from day one.

fees, nothing hidden: 10%; For travelers, less than the 15 to 20% charged by the big platforms.
For hosts: €0; Free sign-up, and 100% of the price set by the host goes to the host.
Synced calendars: 15 min; iCal sync with your other platforms, no double bookings.
Secure payment: Bancontact; By card or Bancontact, directly on Hozy.

The team

The people behind Hozy.

Together, they're building the tool they wish they'd had from day one.
