TrustedStays is a UK-based platform that connects professionally managed short-term rental properties with the Global Distribution System (GDS), allowing property owners to be booked by the $156bn corporate travel market. Trusted by international business travellers – think PwC, JP Morgan, Shell, Grant Thornton and Ingka Centres.
TrustedStays’ primary differentiator is our bespoke agreement to distribute individual professionally managed short-term rental units directly through the Global Distribution System (GDS) — a channel traditionally reserved for major hotel brands and serviced apartment operators. Unlike broad channel aggregators, we’re purpose-built for short-term rentals, making flexible accommodation accessible to the corporate travel market in a way that hasn’t been done before.
As a network of companies and systems that processes 50,000 – 70,000 travel search enquiries per second on average, the GDS is a critical avenue used to match corporates with the perfect accommodation.
TrustedStays stands out because it’s supply-focused, working directly with property owners and operators rather than relying on standard OTAs or purely consumer-facing platforms. We also carry out baseline quality and compliance checks to get you onboarded and live to our platforms in no time. In addition, every property listed through TrustedStays is verified and meets the compliance and accreditation standards required by corporate travel buyers — something many traditional distribution partners don’t offer.
The benefits of using Trustedstays with Guesty
- Access new demand channels: Connects property providers with the biggest travel market, providing access to new demand channels including government, corporate, relocation, education and more.
- Year-round bookings: Generates low-season demand and ensures consistent year-round bookings by attracting corporate stays outside typical holiday periods.
- Seamless integration: Longer stays and alternative accommodation, as professionals tend to stay longer than leisure visitors.
Unique distribution advantage: Unlike standard GDS aggregators, TrustedStays distributes single-unit short-term rentals with full compliance and quality assurance — giving operators a route into corporate demand that traditionally only hotels and serviced apartments could access.
