The official answer to: “what home should I book?”
We are obsessive. We are meticulous. We are punctilious. We are hypercritical. We are scrupulous. We are perfectionists. We are Plum Guide.
But what exactly do these do these obsessive, meticulous, punctilious, hypercritical, scrupulous, perfectionists actually do?
First and foremost Plum Guide connects people with vacation homes. Although not just any vacation homes. Only the most outstanding, magnificent homes. Of course, we could, like other home rental sites, simply list every home available, but that is not how we work. In fact, we actually reject almost all homeowners that apply. Why? Because their properties do not live up to the Plum Guide standard.
Our team personally inspect every single home with our 150 point Plum Test - the world’s most gruelling homestay evaluation, and only homes that pass make it onto our site. Our goal is to assess every holiday home in every city and only accept the very best. This procedure is strictly adhered to and ensures that anyone renting a Plum Guide property is guaranteed a quality home.
In short, if a home has the Plum stamp of approval - we absolutely guarantee that it is exactly as it looks online. No surprises. No low grade homes. No fake reviews.
Plum Guide - every single home; verified and meticulously checked since day one.
The most remarkable homes in London, Paris, New York, Los Angeles, Rome, Milan, Copenhagen, Madrid, Barcelona, Lisbon, Berlin and Tel Aviv - all painstakingly reviewed by our dedicated professional team. Not by random strangers on the internet.
