Our take

Searching for great hotel deals online can be frustrating and overly complicated. Online marketplace Bidroom solves this problem by turning the booking process on its head.

In Bidroom's innovative system, hotels bid for customers, rather than the other way around. This drives competition between hotels, and improves the overall experience for travellers. Bidroom's marketplace also cuts out the middlemen that have dominated the travel industry in recent years, saving money for hotels and guests alike. The company's forward thinking has proven lucrative, with Bidroom raising over $22 million in funding.

The company is currently working on developing new products, such as Bidroom Direct, which allows customers to approach specific hotels. A recently launched platform is targeted at driving customer loyalty. These innovations will allow Bidroom to compete effectively with big-name travel sites such as Booking.com.
