MYWANDERLUST - Portfolio

MyWanderLust is a P2P rental marketplace. It provides renting possibilities for travelers all over the world. The platform is inviting only and to get listed the new user has to be invited by an existing member and has to undergo a thorough vetting process by platform admin. Each registered member is capable of both serving as a host and renting another member’s property via the marketplace.

Apartment cost is managed by admin and displayed in coin (kind of internal platform currency) value weekly, and the prices can vary as defined via calendar settings (for instance high season weeks can be priced differently than the weeks not popular for the particular travel destination).

The server members have to pay a subscription fee, also the extra amenities have to be paid for separately. Such amenities are optional and users can choose not to order them if not necessary.

Registered users can post listings, book apartments, chat via messenger (but only once a booking has been accepted), earn coins for renting. Members do not earn any real money (except for extra services. The price for such services is preset). Only coins can get traded amongst members. Admin can manage price (coin value) of the property, high season weeks and manage the whole marketplace, charge fee for provided services.
