About us
Shaping Tomorrow’s Travel by Providing Guests and Hosts the Power of Direct Booking!
Houfy.com is a visionary marketplace that combines the control of book-direct with the familiarity and options of an OTA. With no standardized service fees and no involvement in transactions, Houfy empowers hosts to manage payouts directly, earn more, and offer guests better deals by eliminating middleman costs. It's a platform designed to maximize host independence and guest savings while fostering a transparent and flexible booking experience.
Our origins
In 2015 Thijs Aaftink founded Houfy on the principle of restoring autonomy to homeowners and property managers, in an industry that was seemingly becoming more controlled and consistently bearing exorbitantly high fees. By working closely with hosts around the world Houfy was designed into a platform to connect both hosts and guests directly to each other.
