More than just a place to stay—StayingBee is a movement.
We're redefining travel by connecting like-minded people through trusted communities.
What is StayingBee?
Why We Exist
Travel should be more than just booking a place—it should be about feeling at home, wherever you go.
But let's be honest:
- Hotels feel impersonal and cost a fortune.
- Airbnb is full of hidden fees and skyrocketing prices.
- Couchsurfing can be unpredictable and lacks safety.
We knew there had to be a better way. A way to travel with trust, stay affordably, and connect meaningfully—not just with a bed, but with a community.
So we built StayingBee—a platform that connects you with trusted hosts from the communities you already belong to. Whether you're a student, a startup founder, a digital nomad, an artist, or someone who just wants to travel with the people in the same community, you can find a like-minded host who understands you — because they have walked the same path.
It's not just about accommodation. It's about sharing experiences, stories, and memories with people who feel like friends from day one.
What We Stand For
At StayingBee, we believe travel should feel like coming home. Here's what drives us:
Community
Because the best part of travel isn't the place—it's the people.
Safety
Every host and guest is verified through trusted communities.
Affordability
Say goodbye to overpriced stays—fair pricing, always.
Experience
Live like a local, not a tourist.
Connection
Turn every stay into friendships that last a lifetime.
Friendship
Because great memories start with great people.

Real stories from travellers and hosts from our active communities
"In just a few days in Vienna, I went from a visitor to feeling like a local. We shopped, cooked, hit the gym, and bonded over wine. I felt at home in Vienna, thanks to Stayingbee."
Kelvin Chikezie
Guest - Vienna
"I very much enjoyed being a host and to show my guest a little bit of my neighbourhood and join together one of my favourite events. It's easy to find topics to talk about like traveling and obviously sharing some AIESEC memories, and to remind each other of some of the learned lessons during that time."
Robert
Host - Berlin
"the guest was amazing; a lot of openness from his side, a lot of things to share and learn about each other. a friendship tied in a matter of hours"
George
Host - Bucharest
"Hosting through StayingBee has been an absolute delight. From my very first booking, I was matched with a guest from a shared community —a fellow AIESEC alumni! The platform's intuitive matching process meant every stay felt more like catching up with old friends than simply hosting strangers."
Jibola
Host - Brussels
"Hosting on StayingBee was such a lovely experience! I didn't just have a guest at my house—I had a friend in my home. We reconnected over home-cooked meals, explored the beautiful city of Vienna, and shared moments that made the visit truly memorable. It's amazing how StayingBee could bring such opportunity to connect us after all these years."
Wafa
Host - Vienna
"It was nice to have Kelvin as a first guest as the owner of the platform. The whole process was pretty smooth and easy for both of us. Getting to know the platform for the first time and also getting to know Kelvin was nice! Can't wait until June to experience StayingBee as a guest in Paris! 😊"
Berke
Host - Budapest
"Giving back hosting an AIESECer, going to different events together and exploring new spots in my city! The gesture of the guest of bringing his fav chocolate is just the cherry on top!"
Joaquin
Host - Madrid
"When I arrived in Vienna on a weekday, Wafa arranged for me to pick up the keys from her office. She is a natural-born host, one of the most hospitable people I know and cooks amazing food. Her spacious flat is absolutely pristine. I will miss the enjoyable dinnertime with my good friend!"
Victoria
Guest - Vienna
"Guest was awesome, super nice and polite, we had great conversations during the week. She's lovely"
Julia
Host - Barcelona
"We exchanged alot of ideas and had lunch together."
Jude
Host - Budapest
"My experience was very positive. Two main factors - the host was very interesting & hospitable too. I felt at home very quickly and was very accomodating overall. Also the price point was really good too - helping me to extend my stay further."
Georgi Tonchev
Guest - Berlin
"Everything was so easy, it felt like we already knew the host, even though we just met. The host was super helpful and it was nice to talk about our AIESEC experiences, although unfortunately we didn't have much time to get to know each other. Basically felt like we were being hosted by a friend."
Jenni
Guest - Stockholm
"Overall it was a great experience me and my friend stayed alone in the whole flat. It was like an AirBnB experience. Overall pretty smooth."
Berke
Guest - Paris
