iStopOver is the newest member of the hometel (home + hotel = hometel) online marketplace.
iStopOver connects homeowners who have spare rooms available with business/vacation travelers seeking affordable overnight or short-term accommodation.
First of a new generation of products to offer social-media authentication using tools such as Facebook Connect and LinkedIn.
Social media authentication helps establish a sense of trust between hosts and guests before the transaction is completed.
Homeowners (hosts) list their rooms for free with iStopOver and pay a nominal transaction fee for every booking.
iStopOver markets listings to potential guests.
Guests find hosts without a travel agency. They go to www.iStopOver.com, search their city of choice, identify/select the accommodation they want and then rent directly from the homeowner.
iStopOver provides the marketplace and facilitates the financial transaction, making the process of renting or finding accommodation easy for both hosts and guests
