Everyone enjoys planning their vacation in a luxurious location, but the rapid increase in hotel fares does not allow most people to turn this dream into reality. To fulfill this desire of the people Himanshu Chadha and Tanuj Mehndiratta came up with such an option, which provides bed and breakfast facilities to the people in quality guest-houses all over India.
The name of this option is 'Roomwale'. Roomwale's main objective is to give people a chance to enjoy a wonderful holiday within their reasonable budget.
How did the idea come about:-
Himanshu and Tanuj got the idea of this concept of Roomwale not from anywhere else but from their personal experiences. Getting the facility of accommodation at reasonable prices without compromising on the quality was not an easy task.
Although the facility of staying in big hotels is easily available, budget approval is often not available for it. Thinking about two or four people from similar experiences, the immense possibilities of this area were revealed and the "Roomwala" started.
What is:-
Roomwale Roomwale.com is actually a website that helps you in getting your budget accommodation arranged anywhere across India. This business was established by Himanshu and Tanuj with their own capital of seven lakh rupees.
To be free from any external pressure in this work, he did not take capital from anyone from outside to start the business.
What is the business model: -
15 to 20 percent of the money paid by the customers for booking a property, goes to the room owner as commission. The rest of the amount is given to the owners of the property.
The average night rent of a room comes between 1500 to 1800 rupees. Roomwala had booked 3000 rooms in the first year itself.
No Compromise on Quality: -
At present, RoomWale has 1200 properties listed in 36 cities of the country with a total of 2400 rooms. These properties mainly include guest houses, cottages, and homestays. People can signup on its website for free to rent their property with Roomwala's help.
After that, the quality of this property is tested. In this quality, the background of the property, cleanliness, its rent, services, etc. Roommates post the property on their website only after thoroughly examining their set parameters. Once the listing is done, the property is also put on Google Maps to make it easier to find.
How it works:-
The property provided through Sewa Roomwale is much cheaper than booking from any other place. For advance booking, 15 percent of the total fare is charged by the customers. Although in the case of some properties, this percentage can be kept slightly higher but the rest of the payment is taken only after making it available.
On every booking, the roommates also give some loyalty points to their customers, which they can take advantage of in the upcoming bookings. Apart from holidays, the help of roommates can also be taken for events, weddings, and corporate functions.
