Inspiring People

Soulfully created by alternative hosts.

No soulless rental homes. No stale hotel chains.

We are alternative hospitality entrepreneurs.

None of us went to hospitality school – but every one of us experienced a life-altering moment revealing the power of hospitality, and it forced us – retired chefs and teachers and parents, former bank tellers and fashion designers and real estate developers – to alter our lives and open our places to StayAltered.

Incredible Places

Highly rated by global guests.

No more scrolling. No more dissatisfying stays.

Some booking websites list every place in the world. We only list the world's best places to StayAltered.

We calculate hundreds of thousands of real guest reviews to ensure every place to StayAltered is rated β‰₯4.25 on Google and β‰₯8.5 average across all booking websites.

Impactful Planet

Genuinely appreciated by local neighbors.

No more fake smiles or forced service.

Experience life on the local side.

We know the most rewarding places to stay are locally owned, locally managed, and locally operated. We're working with our hosts to develop a methodology to ensure we can prove to you every night you StayAltered, you maximize the benefits of travel locally in the places you visit globally.

Our Story

Our story began when we discovered the power of independent hosts to uplift local communities – as well as the extraordinary challenges independent hosts face.

Why We Exist

People love to visit places people love to live. But the most visited places are becoming the worst places to live.

It's time to alter travel – for good.
