What an amazing experience! Social BNB safes me so much time and nerves when it comes to finding an adventure that are not just adventures and fun, but also connecting me with people/locals, all while it supports good causes instead of feeding into harmful tourism! Just knowing to what extend they go, to protect the most vulnerable - animals and humans!

The Experience:
Colombia:
1. Paradise on earth while being a completely sustainably run place, just wow 12/10! So relaxing, connected to nature & fun.
2.Deep in the jungle where we got to connect with the Kogi & Arhuaco tribe, learning about their culture, their way of living, eating their food that we helped harvesting, swimming in stunning rivers, all while supporting the school program that specifically creates opportunity and a safe space for girls from the Kogi and Arhuaco tribe. A truly once in a lifetime experience!

And amazing customer service on top of it all, thanks Alex for answering all my questions I had!

Sensational, amazing, enriching week on the Jean Gab off the Ischia coast. We saw so many bottlenose dolpins including babies, a few fin whales and a sperm whale.

Totally trustworthy! We were staying in Barcelona in this nice little apartment. Everything was as previously described on their website. We also had the chance to get a free climbing lesson with the owner from the NGO in Barcelona. Marcel was super nice and generous, he showed us his project and invited us to come whenever we wanted. Truly lovely experience i dont want to miss anymore! Thank you so much!

I love SocialBnB because you find truly unique accommodations and can connect to locals. All while supporting a good social or environmental projects by staying there.
For me, SocialBnb is a great website to book holidays when you truly want to make sure you're choosing a sustainable travel option.
Handling is easy and there is a map which shows you the possible SocialBnBs in your area.

Socialbnb offers a thoughtful way to travel sustainably by connecting travellers with local communities through unique, impact-driven stays. We booked a stay at Podere Montisi in Tuscany, an organic farm that uses eco-friendly practices and actively supports local biodiversity. The experience felt authentic and engaging, with a direct benefit to the community – something that really set it apart from mainstream platforms like Airbnb.

Pros:
Direct Impact: Knowing that the funds from our stay directly supported local projects added a layer of meaning to our trip.
Authentic Experiences: Staying in rural Tuscany gave us insight into local life and sustainable farming practices, which wouldn’t have been possible in a traditional hotel.
Sustainability at the Core: The farm embraced eco-conscious practices, aligning perfectly with our values.

Cons:
Booking Process: Unlike major booking sites, confirmation is not instant; it took up to 72 hours to secure our stay.
Platform Usability: The website could use some refinement, especially in comparison to larger platforms where booking is more streamlined.

Overall, Socialbnb is ideal for those who prioritise sustainability and are open to a more personal, slower travel experience. It’s not for those looking for instant luxury, but for responsible travellers, it’s a platform with real impact.

I will never forget my trip to the Ecuadorian Amazon booked through socialbnb. What a magical experience. To this day, this is one of my most cherished memories. I stayed in a beautiful and sustainable lodge in the middle of the forest with the Achuar. The Achuar are super welcoming and passionate about their land and culture. Having Chumpi as our personal guide was really special, he answered all our questions and customized our activities according to our interests. I will never forget the magical goodbye river dolphins gave us at sunset on our last day.

I will try to book all my trips and accommodations with socialbnb in the future.

I had an amazing trip to a farm stay in Italy with socialbnb. The communication with the hosts was great. All questions I had have been answered quickly. Looking forward to book my next adventure with them!
