SecondBook is a marketplace for hotel bookings their owners can no longer use. Sellers list a non-refundable booking for free and get part of their money back when it sells; buyers book the same stay for less. SecondBook checks every booking before it goes on sale, holds the payment until after the stay and arranges the change of name with the hotel. Based in Seville, Spain, it is available in eight languages at www.secondbooknow.com.

Logos

About the company

The problem

Plans change, but many hotel bookings are non-refundable. When a trip falls through, the money is usually lost, and there was no simple, safe way to hand the booking over to someone else.

What SecondBook does

Whoever can’t travel lists their booking and gets part of their money back. Whoever is looking for a hotel finds it for less. In between, SecondBook checks the booking, keeps the payment safe and talks to the hotel to change the name.

How it works

  1. The seller lists the booking with its confirmation, and we check it before it goes on sale.

  2. When someone buys it, we arrange the change of name with the hotel.

  3. A few days after the stay, the seller gets paid.
