We take a look at the age of the traveler, their interests, level of travel experience, where they are from and combine this with conversations and emails to carefully match the roommates.
What if my roommate smokes or snores?
We match smokers with smokers and non-smokers with non-smokers. If you are sensitive to noise and concerned about being disturbed by a roommate that snores, you might want to consider a single room. However, there are many positives about sharing a room, and making a new friend.
I am not so sure about sharing a room. Should I get a single room?
Most women share even if they are not used to it. Roommates often pal around on unscheduled time and new friendships are created. You can have a single room if you prefer. They are available for an additional charge. Please advise at time of booking and a separate quote will be prepared.
