Our mission is to finally make the

search and booking of vacation rentals easy.

Holidu is a search engine for holiday rentals that allows you to find your perfect accommodation and book for the lowest price.

We work with all the major booking portals and local specialists to offer you the greatest variety of holiday rentals. We compare millions of accommodations from more than 1,500 providers, so that you can find your ideal holiday rental quickly and easily.

It pays to compare: The same accommodation can cost up to 55% less in the same period. 

Our image recognition technology detects whether a holiday rental is listed on different websites and always shows you the lowest price.

We believe in the power of a diverse team, where we all work together and each of us takes responsibility for our individual contributions. When we combine creativity with trust and freedom, we achieve great things together..

We set ourselves ambitious goals to provide real value to our customers. We work hard to achieve our aims, while continuously challenging our status quo and constantly seeking to improve our service and ourselves.

We believe in the power of technology to solve almost any problem. To provide our customers with the best possible user experience, we develop our own technology and work with artificial intelligence and machine learning.

We are travel enthusiasts ourselves and want to use this passion to make a real difference for our customers. We put our customer first in every decision and seek to be genuinely helpful. We listen to customers, partners and colleagues to achieve the best results together.

Holidu was founded in 2014 in Munich by Johannes and Michael Siebers after they had a frustrating experience trying to book a holiday rental for a surfing trip to Portugal. The brothers spent hours browsing through dozens of websites to find the right accommodation and were frustrated that some of the rentals were offered on multiple websites for different prices. It was clear to Johannes and Michael: they had to close this gap in the market. They made it their mission to finally make the search and booking of holiday rentals easy.
The small-scale nature of the holiday rental market is not only problematic for travellers, but also for holiday rental owners. In order to achieve a high occupancy rate, owners have to advertise their holiday accommodation on several websites.
True to their mission, the Holidu team therefore developed an independent all-in-one solution for holiday rental owners under the brand Bookiply. As a service and software provider, Bookiply supports them by distributing their properties to the largest travel websites, synchronising calendars and creating multilingual descriptive texts and professional photos.

Today, more than 300 travel and tech-enthusiasts from more than 40 nations work hard to continuously improve Holidu and Bookiply for travellers and holiday rental owners. Headquartered in Munich, the company has local branches in Europe's most attractive travel destinations. Holidu has received several awards as a high-growth company as well as for its service and is one of the most popular employers in Germany.

Holidu scans hundreds of websites to let you choose from more than 14 million holiday homes offered by the following letting partners: Interchalet, TUI, Novasol, Booking.com, E-Domizil, Housetrip, Tripadvisor and many more.
