About us

RoomFT ('Room For Travellers') is a unique FREE social networking website of Homeowners looking to earn extra cash and Tourists and Visitors looking for cheap rooms.

The prices charged by most of our members are considerably cheaper than Hotels and established Bed & Breakfast (B&B) providers.

Who is it for?
RoomFT is suitable for:
- Homeowners and Renters who need extra cash and has a spare room, sofa bed, couch or air bed that is available for a couple of nights a week.
- Anyone who enjoys travelling and making new friends.

- Those who prefer to stay with a local or a family.
- Those in need of cheap rooms or crash pad for a few nights.
- Those on Student Exchange.
- Anyone who is between tenancy agreements and need a room for a few nights.

- Members of the couch surfing project who want to earn extra cash.

- Homeowners in South Africa wishing to rent out their home and rooms during 2010 World Cup.

- Football fans in need of places to stay during the 2010 World Cup in South Africa.

Host family and Homestay!
RoomFT is also suitable for those that are looking for Host family and home stay accommodation.

Why did we come up with this idea?

Well, a Traveller may prefer to rent a room in a home, than a hotel, for many reasons:

Price

Difficulty of finding accommodation

Wanting to meet local people

Feeling part of a family

More personal than a hotel room 

A host may want to rent out their room, for their own various reasons:

To raise income

Meet new people

Enjoy new company

It does not really matter why; RoomFT provides the answer.

The accommodation problem!
Everyone knows that accommodation is still the most expensive part of travelling and finding the right sort of place to stay, at the right price, in the right location can be a nightmare. Similarly, many homeowners are keen to earn additional income and letting out a room in their home for a short period of time, from a day to several weeks, can achieve just that. Until now, there was no way for the host and travellers to meet.  RoomFT now provides the solution!

Hosts and Travellers:

This unique and market changing site is free; members and hosts can register their requests without charge:

-  the host to record on this site the type of accommodation, its location, facilities and
   the price of the room per night and the days it is available.

-  the traveller to seek hosts in the areas in  which they want to stay and then book 
   those nights through our site.

Take a look at our site and see what we mean.

Value Your Room:

We have even included a ‘value your room’ facility, that can be used as a guide by both host and traveller when agreeing a price. But the basic premise is that it facilitates hosts and travellers to meet but takes no part, nor has any vested interest, in the agreement made.

The more hosts and travellers use the site, the more they can build up their own profiles based on responses from members and the higher their star rating, making it easier to rent out their room if a host or find a room, if  a traveller.

This site is meant to be fun to use and help solve a problem.

Welcome to RoomFT.
