Strengthens its visibility in global markets
Temporary rental platform for corporate travellers shut down earlier in the year, Homelike has been acquired by Roomless Srl, the company behind housing solutions platform Spacest.com.
The terms of the deal were not disclosed, but it is known that the acquisition pertains to digital assets previously owned by Homelike Internet GmbH, including the domain name and the Homelike logo and branding.
Traffic to thehomelike.com is now redirected to Spacest.com, ‘ensuring continuity for the brand’s long-standing users and opening the door to a fresh, enhanced digital experience’.
The homepage announces the acquisition, offering Spacest.com as an alternative for landlords and tenants in Germany, Italy, Spain, Portugal, Austria, France, the UK and the US, among other countries.
In March, Germany-based Homelike announced it was ceasing operations after 10 years in business, confirming it had stopped taking new bookings on the platform. Before shutting down, Homelike maintained a catalogue of more than 70,000 furnished properties in Europe and the US.
“With this acquisition, Spacest.com not only strengthens its visibility in markets historically dominated by Homelike but also cements its ambition to become the European benchmark for high-quality flexible rentals,” the company said.
