As the work environment constantly changes, businesses need to offer alternative accommodation to hotels. Home accommodation provides more space and flexibility. Whether it’s ironing a suit for tomorrow’s big meeting, cooking a healthy meal, or rolling out a yoga mat: the additional space helps employees find balance whilst travelling for work.

TrustedStays is the first platform in the short and mid-term rental industry for professionally managed, accredited home accommodation for the business traveller, in partnership with UK Short Term Accommodation Association (STAA) and The UKAA. It provides a trusted route for government and corporates to offer apartments and homes as an option to their employees when they travel through their approved booking systems.
