Host traveling colleagues and friends through Roamr and earn about 35% of what they’d have spent on a hotel - roughly $525 a stay. Safe, insured, and completely on your terms.
If you’ve ever thought about renting out a spare room, you’ve probably also thought about everything that comes with it: strangers in your home, endless listings and reviews, cleaning between guests, the nagging worry about damage. That’s exactly why most people never do it.
Roamr hosting is different by design. You host traveling colleagues and friends - people connected to you, not anonymous bookings off the internet. You decide when you’re available and who you say yes to. Every stay is covered by integrated insurance and a damage-protection guarantee, and you’re paid automatically through Stripe, so there’s never an awkward money conversation.
It’s the income of hosting without the parts that make hosting a chore. Your spare room sits empty most of the time anyway. This is simply a way to let it earn - while bringing people you like into your city.
Earn ~35% of the displaced hotel cost - around $525 a stay - for a room that’s usually empty.
Host friends and colleagues you choose. It’s connection and community, not a transaction with a stranger.
Integrated insurance and a damage-protection guarantee cover your home on every single stay.
Host a few times a year or most weeks - you decide your availability and who you accept.
Stripe handles the money automatically, so there’s never an awkward cash moment with a friend.
Be part of a network of Roamrs in 100+ countries who travel and host differently.
Tell us your city and the space you can offer. Takes about a minute.
We confirm your details; you choose when you’re open to host and who you accept.
A colleague or friend stays, everyone’s covered, and your ~35% lands via Stripe.
“I’ve hosted six Roamr guests now. It’s brought people into my city, strengthened friendships, and quietly added up to real money - and the damage protection means I never worry.”

Roamr redefined how I travel for work. Staying with a friend felt personal, my company was happy because they saved money, and my friend and I even earned extra. The platform was effortless. I genuinely recommend it to anyone who travels for work.
Earned $525 on his last tripA last-minute trip to Dublin for St. Patrick's Day went from near-disaster to magical, all thanks to staying with people through Roamr. Serendipitous, unforgettable, and I came home with money in my pocket.
Saved his company $300We feel like we hit the jackpot with Roamr. Two weeks working remotely from one of Ireland's most beautiful regions was a privilege — and it cost a fraction of what a hotel would have. The whole thing was seamless.
Earned $540We saw Roamr as a smart way to give more to employees, build culture, and save money at the same time. I've had an amazing experience as both a host and a guest.
Hosted 4 teammatesI'm on the road three weeks a month. Roamr turned that grind into real income — I've earned over $6,000 this year just by staying with friends instead of hotels.
$6,000+ this yearBooking was faster than a hotel and the invoice generated itself. One less expense report — sold.
My first offsite, I was stressed about fronting a hotel I couldn't really afford. A teammate hosted me through Roamr — no money up front, and I walked in already feeling like part of the team.
$0 out of pocketMy spare room used to sit empty. Now I host colleagues passing through and earn a few hundred each time. It's safe, it's insured, and I love the company.
$1,800 hostingI extended a 3-day work trip into ten days working from a friend's place in Spain. Roamr made it affordable AND paid me. Best decision I made all year.
I used to think staying with friends for work was weird. Then I did the math: ~$525 back per trip, plus actual human connection instead of another hotel bar. I was wrong.
$525 per tripStayed with a friend in Tokyo for a conference. Company saved, I earned, and I got a local's tour of the city. Hotels can't compete with that.
Effortless. I clicked, invited my friend, and we both got paid. Stripe handled everything. No awkward money conversations.
$510 earnedFor decades the model went unquestioned: the company books a hotel, the hotel keeps the money, you get a key card and a tiny shampoo. The single most expensive part of a business trip is also the part that does the least for you. Redirect that money and the same trip suddenly pays you, rewards a host, and saves your employer up to 30%.
The numbers aren't small. A typical work-trip hotel runs about $1,750, and roughly 35% of that - around $525 - can land in your pocket on a single stay. Travel a couple of times a month and that's five figures a year, for staying somewhere more comfortable than a hotel, with people you actually like.
And the money is only half of it. The other half is what travel feels like: a friend's spare room instead of a silent hotel hallway, dinner with someone you know instead of a sad room-service tray, a local who tells you where to go. Roamr makes work travel human again - and pays you for the upgrade. That's why over a thousand professionals across 100+ countries have already switched.
