an artist ' s interpretation of a manned mission to a near earth asteroid using nasa ' s new orion spacecraft .

call it operation : plymouth rock . a plan to send a crew of astronauts to an asteroid is gaining momentum , both within nasa and industry circles .

not only would the deep space sojourn shake out hardware , it would also build confidence in long - duration stints at the moon and mars . at the same time , the trek would sharpen skills to deal with a future space rock found on a collision course with earth .

in lockheed martin briefing charts , the mission has been dubbed " plymouth rock — an early human asteroid mission using orion . " lockheed is the builder of nasa ' s orion spacecraft , the capsule - based replacement for the space shuttle .

study teams are now readying high - level briefings for nasa leaders — perhaps as early as this week — on a pilgrimage to an asteroid , along with appraisals of anchoring large , astronaut - enabled telescopes far from earth , a human precursor mission to the vicinity of mars , as well as an initiative to power - beam energy from space to earth .

the briefings have been spurred in response to the recent review of u . s . human spaceflight plans committee and the option of a " flexible path " to human exploration beyond low - earth orbit .

on this path , the committee suggested , humans would visit sites never visited before and extend u . s . savvy in how to operate in space — while traversing greater and greater distances from earth .

building momentum the merits of a human mission to a near earth object were detailed here nov . 18 during a two - day meeting of the small bodies assessment group .

sbag was established by nasa in 2008 to identify scientific priorities and opportunities for the exploration of asteroids , comets , interplanetary dust , small satellites and trans - neptunian objects . the group also provides scientific input on the utility of asteroids and comets in support of human space activities .

the new studies are viewed as an iterative process — to be weighed both by nasa and the white house , said paul abell , a research scientist at the planetary science institute detailed to the space agency ' s johnson space center in houston , texas and working in the astromaterials research and exploration science directorate . " it ' s going to take a bit of time . i don ' t think there ' s going to be a quick decision . "

how the white house will react to a human trek to an asteroid is beyond anybody ' s crystal ball . however , undertaking the effort has garnered the attention of lockheed martin — builder of the space shuttle replacement — the orion spacecraft .

asteroid - bound orion the plymouth rock mission study began a couple years ago , said josh hopkins , in the advanced programs for human space flight division at lockheed martin space systems company in denver , colo .

" we have been looking at what other interesting science missions could be done with orion . . . and asteroids were one of the ideas that percolated to the top , " hopkins told the sbag attendees . he made it clear that the firm ' s study was done using corporate funds and doesn ' t imply that nasa has endorsed company results .

in this situation , a two - person orion would link up with an unpiloted sister craft that ' s loaded with extra fuel , food , water , and oxygen . it would be tossed into orbit — as well as an earth departure stage — by nasa ' s planned ares v heavy - lift booster .

bridging the moon and mars while detailed nasa and industry looks at the makings of a neo mission are still in play — including use of inflatable modules to add crew volume — " it ' s an attractive option , " hopkins said . " it ' s really a good middle - step between the moon and mars . "

however , maximizing astronaut safety , dealing with such things as trash management , cosmic rays , sketching out abort scenarios must still be addressed , hopkins noted . but given the core attributes already built into the orion system " we think it does make sense for the human spaceflight program to be investigating this , " he said .

between nasa and industry looks , the flight of astronauts to a neo could occur in the 2020 to 2025 time period . the round - trip mission would take some six months .

there would be no landing on the asteroid . rather , they would park in close proximity , then jet backpack onto the object . once there , science gear would be deployed as samples of the space rock are gathered — on the order of a couple hundred pounds ( 100 kilograms ) .

" we assume staying at the asteroid for five days . they could stay a week or two . but staying for a month gets hard , " hopkins explained . while on duty , astronauts would engage in gathering data useful to understand the internal makeup of the asteroid . that , in turn , is solidly helpful , he added , in dealing with harmful space rocks on a worrisome trajectory dangerous to earth .

today , there are a handful of candidate asteroids that could be visited a couple decades from now , said clark chapman , an asteroid expert at southwest research institute here in boulder . that number will grow as more ground and space - based instruments come on - line , surely increasing the discovery rate of neos , he stated .

" we ' d really like a larger pool of candidate targets so that we could visit a neo that has cool properties and would have the greatest scientific return , " chapman told space . com .

profound impact " human exploration is for human purposes , " said mark sykes , chair of the small bodies assessment group . he is also director of the planetary science institute in tucson , ariz .

science by itself doesn ' t drive human exploration , sykes noted , " but we can benefit , scientifically , from this . we ' ll take advantage of whatever opportunities come our way ! "

sykes said that he had briefed the committee that conducted the recent review of u . s . human spaceflight plans .

specifically , sykes said that he underscored the prospect that neos represent a location of resources that could have a profound impact on expanding sustainable human operations beyond low earth orbit . they could be a well spring of water , he added , as well as useful for life support and radiation shielding .

if so , asteroids may well act as a lynch pin for people living , working and populating space , sykes suggested . but are those resources recoverable in an economic way ?

" it ' s within the realm of consideration . of course , a lot more homework needs to be done , " sykes stressed .

the 12 orbiting astronauts on the international space station were hailed by the chief on thursday — and also got a humorous scolding for keeping their android crewmate locked up in its packing for so long .

winchester , n . h . — justin bonsignore made the late pass pay off as he drove to the nascar whelen modified tour victory in the o’reilly 200 at monadnock speedway saturday night .

bonsignore powered underneath ryan preece on lap 175 en route to the win . preece had started second and led all but one lap to that point .

it was the fifth career win for the holtsville , new york , driver and second straight at monadnock . it was also his second of 2014 , as he opened the season with a win at thompson speedway motorsports park in april .

the race went caution - free , leaving just six cars on the lead lap at the checkered flag . preece settled for second , followed by eric goodale , rookie tommy barrett jr . and points leader doug coby .

bonsignore won the coors light pole award earlier in the day , but preece jumped to the lead on lap 2 and held it until bonsignore made his move .

matt hirschman finished sixth , followed by patrick emerling , ted christopher , ron silk and ron yuhas jr .

with the win , bonsignore moved to within four points of coby in the championship points standings . bobby santos , who finished 11th , dropped to third in points — eight behind coby . christopher is fourth , another five points back , while preece moved up a spot to fifth .

qualifying 5th with a lap time of 17 . 967 , justin finished sixth finish behind winner doug coby , who led for 89 laps of the 200 lap event . the strong finish added 38 points to the team’s total to carry justin into seventh place in the tour standings .

after posting the fastest time in practice , justin qualified in second place , slotting in just behind coors light pole award winner howie brodie . brodie led for the first 17 laps , but could not hold back bonsignore for long . the 2010 sunoco year took over first place on lap 18 , and held on for the remainder of the 175 lap race .

one of the big question marks about companies like housetrip ( and possibly to an even greater extent companies like airbnb and lyft ) is that they may be challenged to reach critical mass for their services , relying as they do on people shifting their privacy boundaries . neil rimer at index ventures , one of housetrip’s first investors , believes that the peer - to - peer revolution is changing people’s perceptions — giving companies like housetrip the chance to really disrupt the establishment , which in the case of housetrip is the multi - storied , many - faceted hotel industry .

at the beginning of housetrip , our home was our office . junjun and i were ( and still are ) working very hard . free weekends were out of question . we were convinced that housetrip would succeed if we were 100 % dedicated . we then convinced a few people that housetrip could revolutionise the way people travel and found our first angel investor . after that , things really kicked off and here we are today .

smooth reservation process , good feedback . housetrip has very limited responsibility for the quality of the rented flat / house and very hard cancellation policy .

hi mitchell , thank you for your review . we are happy to hear that you enjoyed your booking experience . many thanks ! paride - housetrip customer care

a note from the travelling mom : thank you to housetrip for hosting our visit in london . as always , our opinions are honest and our own .

housetrip : set up in 2009 , the company has offices in the uk , switzerland and portugal . it expects to book about three million bed nights this year , but recently announced a series of redundancies as it switches focus to europe and the family market . housetrip no longer features accommodation in private homes . urltoken

i would recommend using housetrip for your holiday rental apartment needs , for an extended visit to london or other major city . housetrip was easy to deal with , and helped out promptly when we experienced problems during the booking process . the quality of the rental property was high , and met our needs and expectations .

book with confidence . pay by card or paypal , through the housetrip website , to be covered by payment protection . never pay by bank or wire transfer .

travel - company presentation by arnaud bertrand - founder & ceo , housetrip at the noah 2013 conference in london , old billingsgate on the 14th of november 2013 .

housetrip had managed to secure almost $ 60 million in funding since its creation in 2009 , but it has been hit with a number of problems in recent years .

“housetrip brings valuable choices to our travellers , particularly those visiting europe , and we’re excited to continue expanding beyond the nearly 800 , 000 properties we list now . ”

housetrip should start thinking about what kind of integrity they have . in general , they should expect that a host has a larger incentive to keep his real estate in good standing , than a transient guest who wouldn’t care if they mayor paid him a visit to tell him he shouldn’t break the fire regulations by overcrowding . how can housetrip expect good landlords to obey the rules if housetrip makes it impossible to penalize such guests ( with a ‘cancellation’ ) in the first place ? ? ? ? ?

housetrip is one of the largest holiday rental websites in the world with 7 million overnight stays , 20 , 000 destinations and 300 , 000 properties . however , its canadian competitor airbnb has grown rapidly and has now outstripped housetrip . was this the reason that bertrand resigned as ceo last summer and shortly later as president of the company ?

housetrip’s move possibly illustrates how the main players in the rental / sharing economy are repositioning themselves as providers of product in one particular area ( shared vs complete rental ) .

housetrip is one of the largest vacation rental websites in the world . an ideal alternative to hotels , a housetrip stay means authenticity , privacy , value for money , and flexibility . enjoy the many benefits that vacation rentals have to offer : more space , extra bedrooms , a kitchen , and wifi and laundry facilities at no extra charge .

for our long weekend in london , we decided to book a rental apartment rather than a standard hotel room . we worked with housetrip , a european - based home rental agency . housetrip has a strong rental network with a wide range of apartment and home offerings throughout europe and beyond , with more than 19 , 000 destinations around the world .

expanding the number of houses on housetrip’s books is a key part of the strategy in a market where catalog counts for a lot — just look at the power of craigslist , ebay or amazon and you can see how important it is to have inventory to bring in traffic and users . homeaway , one of housetrip’s closest competitors , notes on its site that it currently lists over 325 , 000 properties , compared to the 130 , 000 on housetrip , so there is definitely room ( and a need ) to grow .

we have industry leading satisfaction scores . you just need to look at trustpilot , an independent review aggregator , to understand the sort of feedback guests give on their housetrip experience .

bogus properties : they advertise properties that are not available . . . owners then offer alternative and inferior accommodation at same price . housetrip staff admitted to me they know this is happening . i was charged foreign currency transaction fee on the payment and the refund for trying to book a house that was never available . housetrip have refused to refund the fees of £30

tripadvisor is getting a company that claims to have made a couple of promising innovations . in recent months , housetrip has experimented with “ using neural networks for ranking search results . ”

19 housetrip shall not be liable , in contract or tort ( including negligence ) or the breach of statutory duty or in any other way , for the loss or damage howsoever arising suffered by the entrant resulting directly or indirectly from entry to this promotion . nothing in these terms shall limit housetrip’s liability for death or personal injury caused by its negligence or fraud .

housetrip was founded in 2010 by arnaud bertrand and junjun chen while studying at école hôtelière de lausanne in switzerland . since then , the team has opened additional offices in portugal and the uk .

how can housetrip say they will do everything to keep their name in good standing , if they encourage illegal hotelling to take place on their own hosts’ premises , and even force such hosts to ‘keep’ the guests ? ? ? no wonder shortstaying is getting a bad name . there is - no - effective control from housetrip side . they enduce ‘fake’ guests to cannibalize on existing ‘good’ hosts , who face an impossible task of both keeping housetrip happy ( in order not to get banned ) and allowing illegal hotelling to happen in their units by simply letting ridiculous large groups overcrowd homes .

housetrip says it is currently running at a 95 % - 5 % ratio in favour of complete apartments to shared spaces , so it does not anticipate any major erosion of its overall product spread .

hi auden , thank you for taking the time to share your thoughts . we are happy to hear that you have had such a positive booking experience ! best wishes , adrian - housetrip customer care

you should rush submitting your apartment to other companies . i also am a housetrip host with several excellent comments and i do not see any concern from trip advisor to help us with our businesses .

i am 27 years old , grew up in france until i was 18 when i left to study at the ecole hoteliere de lausanne in switzerland . i founded housetrip with my wife junjun straight out of university .

securely book a rental for your vacation in europe , asia , africa , north america , south america , and australia . read how much housetrip guests love their experience in independent reviews on trustpilot and review center .

it ' s probably best i share my experience of this company , i don ' t usually leave negative reviews but our experience was bad enough to share . we booked an apartment in new york through housetrip for a party of 7 . i contacted the owner directly , 3 weeks ahead of our travel date , to check the booking and the owner came back to inform me the booking had been cancelled months previously and the appropriate cancellation fees had been paid to housetrip . the owner was told we would be notified . unfortunately , housetrip didn ' t notify us . being so close to the travel date , the cost of finding alternative appropriate accommodation was significantly more costly that the original apartment we booked . housetrip refunded our deposit which they had been in receipt of for 10 months but when we tried to get them to address our complaint , all we got back was a standard replies . my disappointment with housetrip / tripadvisor / flipkey was their reluctance to take any responsibility for their error . they stated the owner had cancelled only recently but i know this is not the case . the date they gave corresponded with the date of the owners reply to me and her contacting housetrip to advise them they hadn ' t notified me of the cancellation . trip advisor took over housetrip during the period of our booking which contributed to the total lack of customer service and the failure in keeping us informed . i will certainly never be using any of the trip advisor group again and would not recommend them either .

take your next city break with housetrip . enjoy a weekend away in a stylish city center apartment in belgium , germany , or austria . or head further afield and take a vacation in turkey , morocco , or usa .

become a housetrip host , list your property and start earning while welcoming guests into your home . international home owners can opt for urltoken , urltoken , urltoken and urltoken to create a listing in the language of their choice .

i am a housetrip host with several excellent comments , often listed as # 1 on my city search results ( capital of a well - known vacation european country ) . i’ve been told that the migration process would be completed by the 5th of july urltoken but i see nothing happening and fear i am losing the season ( no more bookings… ) . what would you recommend , be more patient and wait , or join another company like airbnb etc ? will my housetrip reviews and rank be shown on tripadvisor ? in your experience , being “faithful” to one company ( housetrip / tripadvisor in this case ) will affect positively my listing or should i rush submitting my apartment to other companies ?

11 it is the responsibility of the winner to inform housetrip of any wheelchair or similar access requirements for the winner and / or their companion when taking up the prize , and to adhere to any applicable health and safety guidelines .

i would recommend housetrip to family friends and anyone who asked my opinion . a great , flexible , better value and trendy alternative to the sterile dated format of city centre hotels . more apartments and more hosts in more places please !

arnaud bertrand , housetrip’s young ceo and founder ( he’s 27 and started the company when he was 24 ) , tells me that the main use of the money will be to scale up its operations , as housetrip looks to rise up above the many , many other companies that are also going after the same market : private people who want to rent out vacation homes to tourists who don’t want to stay in a hotel , either for reasons of cost , or services or simply experience .

we tried to work with housetrip…since they started and found them to be extremely challenging with their requirements of owners as well as quite overpriced for our marketplace . we kept telling them how to make things work but it fell on deaf ears . too bad…

the top 10 competitors in housetrip ' s competitive set are owners direct , onefinestay , clickstay , roomorama , festicket , magicstay , tripping , owners , vrbo and ownersup . together they have raised over 155 . 2m between their estimated 1 . 2k employees .

although bertrand acknowledges that “there have been home rentals , and rental sites , out there for a long time , ” he says what housetrip offers is a route , by way of its platform and algorithms , to making the whole process much easier for all involved . he tells the story of a german home owner who he came across when he was first starting housetrip . the man had been renting out a second home for 20 years at that point , bertrand says . he liked housetrip so much , and it was so much easier to use than what he’d been doing before — cutting out administrative work and more — that he invested most of his savings into becoming bertrand’s backer . “he came out very well from that , ” bertrand says with a little laugh .

housetrip informed hosts of the “important change” to its service via a recent letter in which it said as part of a new focus on couples and families it would be “removing all private bedrooms from our website” and in future only allow entire properties to be listed .

arnaud bertrand and his wife and co - founder junjun wrote swiss start - up history with housetrip , the platform for holiday apartments . however , the founders left the company last year . bertrand tells startupticker about the lessons he’s learned and the couple’s future business plans .

it was impossible for me to ignore housetrips . i saw what arnaud had done with housetrip that i was inspired , excited and jealous all at the same time , it brought some good memories and it made me decide to interview with on yhp about his journey so far .

its programmatic email campaigns report above - average results for the industry , too . in february , housetrip told marketingweek that its email campaigns , powered by criteo’s systems , are responsible for 2 % of total bookings in britain and spain and regularly reach 600 , 000 unique users .

we booked and had a successful stay as housetrip guests . however , i have been trying to post a review in late july 2016 ( as housetrip appears to be transferring to tripadvisor ) , and the webpages are very poor in guiding me to where i need to be to post the review . there doesn ' t seem to be an obvious route through to the webpage on which the review can be posted , or even anything on the help pages to guide me through it . eventually , i found a phone number from the internet - not from the… read full review

we were corresponding back and forth with our host , when he just stopped communicating with us . we emailed housetrip , who tried to help contact the host , but they struck out as well . we hadn’t sent any payment so we weren’t on the hook for the booking , but time was ticking down as we were getting a bit stressed about finding something . housetrip helped us locate some other options , and assisted in securing a two - bedroom serviced apartment in the bermondsey area of south london , close to the london bridge tube station , and in walking distance to the tower bridge .

interestingly housetrip refers to serving families . actually we are seeing a lot of families being guests at our more than 20 , 000 homestay host families . these family to family exchanges enriches the cultural experience of guest and host . kids can play together and pick up some words of an foreign language .

we’re the only one with a loyalty reward system . you automatically earn one free night for every 10 nights you stay with housetrip . the value of your free night is the average price you paid for the 10 nights and your free night is redeemable on our entire property portfolio with no exception .

housetrip currently offers 130 , 000 properties — everything from small studios to big houses — covering some 15 , 000 locations , but this is just the tip of the accommodation iceberg . in europe alone , there are 3 million properties to rent , he says : “there is a lot of opportunity to grow . ”

3 entrants to the promotion must follow @ housetrip and post a tweet about who they would like to take on holiday and why using the hashtag # myhousetripmate . entry is restricted to one per person and the tweet must be made during the promotion period . no purchase is necessary . a twitter account is required .

we found the housetrip site very easy to navigate . the biggest challenge is narrowing down the number of possible rental options , as there are so many apartments to choose from . we found what we thought was the perfect flat for our family of four , in the busy and central oxford circus area of london .

i note that both airbnb and housetrip are trying to proclaim that they will do ‘their best’ ( eg in terms of giving a ‘great guest experience’ ) in order to ensure their business will be sustainable : so that government will not disallow them / their hosts from operating ( like recently in paris , ny , berlin , amsterdam ) . but they miss an important point here : instead of focussing on’guest experience’ , they ought to focus on ‘guest abuse’ equally . i will explain : – as a multi - apartments owner , i have noticed that housetrip rather encourages ( ! ! ) bad guest behaviour ( guests showing up with 7p instead of 4 ) a guest is so much encouraged ( they are not penalized or sent away ) , that housetrip forces hosts to take such groups in , despite such guests are clearly overcrowding and posing a risk to fire insurance ( and naturally , will cause neighbour , police and governmental complaints ) . – as a multi - apartments owner , i noticed housetrip knows very well that other ‘hosts’ list your units on other websites ( 9flats etc ) just to end up booking it with housetrip for say 4p , while on 9flats they list it fo 9p and keep the profits for themselves . the guest even shows up with ids of 4p to make it all look legit , until they are checked out and host finds out there were 9p . this has become such a norm nowadays , that , for a host , it is impossible to prevent it in advance ( unless you troll the entire internet in search for fake copy listings of your units ) .

services such as airbnb and housetrip can be a great way to make money from otherwise empty properties , but a lot of people underestimate how much work it can be to manage the properties . whether you’re just renting out your spare room or a whole holiday home , airbnb can sometimes be a bit of a hassle .

i remember exactly when and why i got the idea for housetrip . my wife and i were driving from london to lausanne ( switzerland ) . the car was completely packed with all the stuff we had accumulated during our seven - month internships in london and i was thinking about an incident that had occurred a few weeks before .

agree with nicolas that the shift in position for housetrip is an opportunity for homestay booking providers such as ourselves , homestay . com , who focus exclusively on a ‘host is present’ model . we believe there is massive potential to open homestays up to mainstream travellers who want a more authentic experience , staying with locals in their homes .

a tripadvisor official says housetrip currently has around 130 , 000 properties on the site . around 300 , 000 homes have listed on the site during the course of the brand’s seven - year history . the startup has only generated 8 million in bookings since it launched , compared to airbnb being forecast to help host 129 million guests this year .

you will have to develop a relationship with hosts , being their person of contact and ensuring they have all relevant information to use the website . you will need to assist them in managing their account , be able to answer their questions on the website , as well as to solve their complaints and keep them committed to housetrip host community .

it means that several ‘illegal hotels’ ( owners offering stay in either their public rental house / offering stay for more than 4p ) will start deregistering from housetrip / airbnb . in the papers on the municipality website , the municipality has decided to make a budget available to hire people to investigate every single post on airbnb / housetrip to determine whether the rental is legit ( does the landlord own the place instead of renting it , and does he have a government permit ) . whenever they find illegalities , they bring in the tax man aswell to ensure they get their taxes paid . only 800 permits are handed out by the city of amsterdam . so any post over 800 on airbnb / housetrip will soon be dismantled . the only thing which the city will allow is a maximum of 1x per year offering of a home by a local , during his own holiday - and they will be checking on that by looking at f . i . how many reviews are posted by visitors ( to determine whether a poster is a professional or not )

housetrip is europe ' s largest holiday apartment website , offering holidaymakers and homeowners a safe and easy - to - use platform to find , book and list holiday apartments , houses and villas securely online . there are currently over 61 , 000 properties to choose from in thousands of destinations worldwide , with over 1 , 000 new listings added each week .

the very key is to ensure that all the players engaged in our activity work on giving a good name to the industry and the only way we can do that is by working relentlessly on delivering an excellent experience to guests . our industry needs to become famous for excellent experiences that are vastly superior to hotels . at least that’s what we think and focus on at housetrip .

hi there , i used housetrip and have given 2 stars , as they helped me a small amount by getting just over a £100 in compensation from the company who owned the apartment , due to the issues we had and that the apartment was also not the one the company sent pictures to us of . it was the same complex but different apartment . housetrip was unavailable for us to complain at first so unfortunately gave the company all the money for the apartment so that was also their fault . however , i proved that i had contacted them in time so the compensation was granted . little did i know but the company who rented us the apartment back on the 28th july , had taken 400 euros out of my account the day of my arrival . they said it was for a deposit but nothing was damaged or broken . as you can see from the start of my email , " they " gave me money back . housetrip then washed their hands of me and stopped replying to my emails , trying to get back that 400 euros they had taken ! to this day i still haven ' t received the money - just empty promises .

we discovered housetrip just a couple of years ago and have now been delighted with five apartments in france , spain and italy . it has become our default holiday accomodation site . all the descriptions have been fair and accurate and the locations easy to check out with online maps ( and google street views ) of course . hosts have all been friendly and helpful . thoroughly recommended… read full review

we’ve worked with housetrip for a number of years , and never really been able to generate any volume of bookings from them . it’s good to see consolidation in the industry , but it’s worrying to see that this is another business joining the tripadvisor stable . they’ve clearly had a string of problems integrating new brands , and their support to vacation rental owners / managers is really quite terrible .

my problem with this ‘don’t hear - don’t tell’ attitude from housetrip’s side , is that in the end , they let the abusing ‘guest’ ( who runs an illegal overcrowded hotel utilizing units which are not even his own ) walk away . at the same time a trail for wrecks is found in cities : a number of ‘illegal hotels’ get shut down by government , because they are continuously overcrowded .

and this points to the second area where bertrand hopes to take housetrip : not just growing in terms of properties covered , but in terms of services offered to users on the platform to make the experience even better — because , after all , getting a nice place to stay without too much hassle will be just as important for the company going forward as having a decent selection of places on offer .

i ' d strongly recommend not using this company for your holiday rental bookings . booked an apartment for a family holiday in ireland 6 months ago ( october 2016 ) . called the owner to check if apartment had towels provided day before check - in , was surprised to hear that the apartment was overbooked 3 times ! as it was 6 nations weekend there was literally no other accommodation available . housetrip ' offered ' accommodation 20 min drive away at a higher cost . housetrip do not check owners and penalise owners enough for cancellations ! all about the owners rather than looking after their customers ( who pay their salaries ! ) i can ' t even seem to write a review about the owner on their website . i would strongly recommend not using this company and seek other means if you want to enjoy your holiday !

hi happygaston , thank you for taking the time to leave us a review . we are really sorry to hear that you experienced some issues with your booking . unfortunately , with the information provided we are unable to location your booking . if you would need any further assistance , please , do not hesitate to contact us ( you find our contact details following this link urltoken many thanks paride – housetrip customer care

housetrip also has the power to penalize and remove hosts and properties that no longer meet their criteria , so bad apples don’t stay long in the barrel of choices . accommodations are not shared , you are renting a self - contained flat or home for your own use . there is no worry about staying with strangers or having to be on best behavior as a guest . you have the place to yourself .

give tips and help hosts on how to improve their property profiles and booking conversion rate . follow - up hosts professional activity and instigate them to add more properties , convincing them of the advantages of having their entire property portfolio on our website . propose improving partnership technical and organizational conditions to optimize revenue and that will get hosts more committed to housetrip trusted community : offer better payment plans , technical integration , etc .

and how has housetrip developed since his departure ? “sorry , it is not my place to comment on the company , ” he says . “the only thing i can say is that when i left the company last year i was succeeded by a very capable team , headed by george hadjigeorgiou as ceo , and i have every confidence they’re making the right choices for the business . ” the founder still has a stake in the company .

hi michal , thank you for taking the time to leave us a review . we are really sorry to hear that you are not happy about the cancellation policy . we would kindly inform you that the cancellation policy is selected by the owners . we would also clarify that we proud to be able to offer our payment protection plan for the booking paid through our platform ( please follow this link for more information urltoken many thanks paride – housetrip customer care

detect scammers and users that are trying to bypass our platform in order to book directly with guests . detect situations of misleading property advertising ( low rental fees , hidden additional fees , etc . ) . create and suggest processes to minimize scammer registration and its’ impact into housetrip operation . follow - up on bad reviews left by guests on hosts’ property profiles . take adequate action to prevent and stop that behavior and convert hosts to our transparent and fair booking policy .

i admit it ! i was abit jealous , in some ways i find arnaud and my path a bit similar - i guess in the whole starting a housetrip kind of website thingy - i actually did start it , this was before i knew anything about raising money and anything like that in university and ask anyone that has started , thinking of starting , ran an holiday rental website just how competitive and expensive it is if you want to compete or create a big business out of .

i will never use housetrip or tripadvisor agin . . even after many years of helpful information . be very very careful and read the smallprint . its a good money making company so if there is someone with money to invest , go ahead . but for people who are looking for a cheaper way to holiday as they cannot afford fancy expensive hotels , be aware of their booking forms and get out clauses . . it will be your fault anyway and you cant win against this big boy

i am still looking for an official complaints department for this company who debited money from my account over a month before my trip and then cancelled the accommodation 24 hours before arrival and the helpline says , ' sorry , not our problem its between you and the owner of the house , you ' ll have to try and get a refund from them ' but i paid housetrip . com and they have a policy that states an immediate refund should any unforeseen circumstances occur . where is the complaints department ? ? ?

urltoken , one of the startups working at the accommodation end of the collaborative consumption market , with a platform for people to rent out homes online , has picked up a roomy $ 40 million as it looks to scale up its operations en route to booking 3 million nights of accommodation this year . the c round for the london - based company is being led by new investor accel partners , with existing investors index ventures and balderton capital also participating . the funding brings housetrip’s total raised to date up to $ 60 million .

we had a couple of angel investors on board in 2010 which allowed us to create the first version of the website . in april 2011 , housetrip attracted $ 2 . 7m in series - a venture capital funding from index ventures , one of the world’s most renowned internet investors . then , last november , we announced a $ 17 million ( 15m chf ) series b funding round . the investor consortium , led by major uk venture capital firm balderton capital also includes existing investor index ventures who re - invested pro - rata .

now everything looks better , he says : “today , a year after we left housetrip , we’re starting to think about what comes next . we’ve caught the entrepreneurship bug and so we want to start a new company , preferably in the field of virtual reality , which we find fascinating and which we think will change the world significantly in the next few years . today we’re focusing on learning all we can about it , from 3d modelling to artificial intelligence , in order to make the right decision on the best opportunity to tackle . ”

very annoying housetrip app was disabled mid our stay so we did not have easy access to our reservation , messaging host and other info such as restaurants nearby etc when we needed it . after our stay i was not sent anything to prompt me to write a review and when i logged on to the website to try and write a review it was difficult to find where to go to write our review via our reservation . . i stumbled by accident onto the review section and would not know how to find it again . surely the… read full review
