We are a hotel reservation website, specializing in 3 night stays and over. We are a young team of entrepreneurs with one big mission: make good customers pay less to stay in a hotel. We believe in our core value: “Do one thing, and do it better than anyone else”. This is why we are focused on doing just one thing properly: make things fair for the long stayers by working as intermediaries between the hotel and the clients to get better deals the more nights they stay. For us it is very clear: Why does someone that stays a week have to pay the same price per night than someone staying two days? The fair thing would be, if you stay more days, you should pay a little less. We believe in the win-win situation, therefore, everyone benefits from our agreement: Hotels attract better customers because they stay more nights and customers have better offers to stay longer. We are Stayforlong and we love long holidays. stayforlong.com
