After years of experimental social matching in the art world, we launched Human Hotel to make a difference in the real world.

— Humanising homesharing

Mass travel is a problem.

At a time when homelessness is on the rise in major cities around the world, 30% of Airbnb listings are owned by people with more than 25 properties* – that isn’t homesharing, it’s home hoarding. Private landlords push up rent prices for locals, and soulless apartments stand empty. Hotels are enormously damaging to the environment, and disruptive to the local infrastructure. – The accommodation industry is toxic.

Travel should be about people instead of profit, it should enrich both travelers and the places they visit, and it shouldn’t destroy our planet – that’s why we started Human Hotel.

— Our team

We are the artists, activists and curators behind Wooloo.org, the world’s first online community for professional artists founded in 2002. Since then, we have worked with human matchmaking as our artistic format. It’s called Social Sculpture in artspeak.

Now, as Human Hotel, we’re on a mission to maximize meaningful meetings and save monetary and environmental resources by matching our purpose-driven guests with like-hearted local hosts throughout the world.
