What HomeToGo does
HomeToGo is a Berlin-based vacation rental metasearch engine — the Kayak of short-term rentals. Founded in 2014, the company aggregates over 15 million listings (cabins, condos, villas, houses) from thousands of providers worldwide, letting travelers compare prices across platforms like Vrbo, Booking.com, TripAdvisor, and direct property managers in a single search.
Model and features
Rather than holding its own inventory, HomeToGo connects travelers with rental providers and earns through affiliate partnerships and advertising. The platform offers filtering by property type, amenities (pools, hot tubs, waterfront), location, and price, plus AI-powered search for natural-language trip planning. Localized versions exist in multiple countries and languages, with destination guides and specialty categories like monthly rentals and waterfront homes. Integrations with property management tools such as Smoobu let hosts list directly.
Positioning
HomeToGo is publicly traded (Frankfurt: HTG) and stands as the largest European player in vacation rental metasearch, competing against US-rooted platforms like Airbnb and Vrbo. For travelers, the pitch is breadth and price transparency across providers in one place; for property managers, it's a distribution channel that sits above individual OTAs.
