Holidu

Holidu is a fast-growing metasearch engine for vacation rentals, designed to simplify the process of finding and comparing holiday homes across multiple platforms. Founded in Germany, Holidu aggregates millions of listings from global and regional providers, allowing users to search once and see results from sites like Booking.com, Vrbo, Atraveo, Novasol, and local agencies. Its powerful search interface helps travellers save time and money by showing the same property across different platforms, often with price variations and different cancellation policies. Holidu also operates a sister brand, Bookiply, which enables property owners to distribute their listings directly while offering a consistent booking experience to guests.
