Frequently Asked Questions

We connect solo travelers who want to share a twin-room in carefully selected 3, 4, and 5-star hotels — and split the cost equally.
Once you fill in your profile (travel dates, destination, budget, and a few lifestyle preferences), we match you with a compatible travel companion of the same gender. When both sides confirm the match, we handle the hotel booking for you.
Every shared room has two separate twin beds. No shared beds, ever.
After your stay, both guests rate each other — building a trusted community of solo travelers over time.
We can also provide a list of activities to do in the city you are staying at.

1. Fill in your profile — tell us your destination, travel dates, budget, and a few lifestyle preferences (early bird or night owl, quiet or social, and so on)
2. Get matched — we find you a compatible travel companion of the same gender who shares similar habits and budget
3. Confirm your match — review your companion’s profile and confirm when you’re comfortable
4. We handle the rest — once both sides confirm, we take care of the hotel booking in one of our selected properties
That’s it. No endless searching, no awkward negotiations — just a seamless shared stay.

Most travel platforms are built for couples or groups. Solo travelers are left paying for a full room — alone.
HotelMatched is the first platform built entirely around the solo traveler experience. Here’s what sets us apart:
∙ Smart matching — we pair you with someone who shares your gender, schedule, budget, and travel habits. Not just anyone available
∙ Curated hotels only — we select 3, 4, and 5-star properties with separate twin beds. No compromises on comfort or privacy
∙ You’re always in control — you review your match before confirming. Nothing is booked until both sides say yes
∙ A trusted community — every stay ends with a mutual rating, so the community gets safer and better over time
∙ One simple price — split equally, transparently.

Simple and transparent.
You pay your share of the hotel room. The total cost of the room is split equally between you and your travel companion.
For example, if a twin room costs €120 per night, you each pay €60.
HotelMatched then charges a small service fee per booking, which covers the matching process and the hotel reservation. This fee is displayed clearly before you confirm — no surprises.
No subscription. No hidden costs. You only pay when you have a confirmed match and a confirmed stay.
