Why partner with Smiling House
Affluent, high-intent guests
Our travellers actively seek exceptional private homes and the service that surrounds them. These are discerning guests ready to book the right property, not casual browsers.
Higher booking values
Luxury stays command premium nightly rates and longer bookings, so each reservation tends to carry more value than a typical short-term rental.
Homes & Villas by Marriott distribution
As a preferred partner of Homes & Villas by Marriott Bonvoy, we extend your reach to one of the most trusted affluent audiences in global travel.
Villa Tracker B2B exposure
Your homes are also promoted through Villa Tracker, our B2B platform, reaching travel designers, luxury agents and concierges who source private stays for high-budget clients.
You keep control
Because Smiling House works request-to-book, you keep control and the high-touch relationship your properties deserve. Every reservation is confirmed by you.
Deliberately selective
Smiling House is deliberately selective, which is exactly what protects the value of the channel — homes of five or more rooms with breathtaking settings, private luxury amenities and beyond-five-star hospitality.
