Roameta vs AirBnB

Hotels redefined: transparent, protected, and stress-free.

We put in the work for you

Airbnb changed how we travel, but it also introduced uncertainty: surprise fees, inconsistent quality, and unpredictable hosts. 

Roameta brings back confidence and clarity with Price Drop Protection, real customer support, and verified hotel stays that deliver exactly what you booked.

Why this comparison matters

Both Airbnb and Roameta help travelers find places to stay, but they serve very different needs. Airbnb focuses on private short-term rentals. Roameta focuses on trusted hotels and resorts with automatic price protection, loyalty rewards, and professional support when things don’t go as planned.

If you’ve ever been surprised by cleaning fees, cancellations, or inaccurate listings, this comparison is for you.

Frequently Asked Questions

What types of credits can Roameta track?

We track airline-issued flight credits and e-vouchers. If an airline provides a refund instead of credits, we record that too.

How long are credits valid?

Expiry depends on the airline’s policy, but we display available validity dates in your Roameta dashboard whenever possible.

Can I transfer credits to someone else?

Most airlines restrict credits to the original traveler. If transfer is allowed, we’ll let you know.

What happens if I cancel outside the app?

No problem, just contact our support team and we’ll add the credits to your account so everything stays organized.
