“As a science journalist I've travelled to more than 120 countries. My tip for anyone who wants to travel with a clear conscience: book with local providers, so the money really stays there. That's exactly why I think socialbnb is so great and so necessary.”

“For me socialbnb is by far the best platform to get to know a country authentically. The communities are incredibly welcoming and make you part of the whole thing — you never experience that at other accommodations.”

“One of the most interesting and most beautiful trips of my life. I got to know a country in a completely different way — far away from mass tourism. Thank you to socialbnb and the team for the great organisation.”
