Detailed Review
HomeToGo GmbH, the entity named on its legal page, sits in Berlin. Its parent HomeToGo SE is listed in Frankfurt under the ticker HTG, according to the company's about page, and the group launched in Berlin in 2014.
The group brands named on that about page are Casamundo, Interhome, Atraveo by Interhome and Tripping.com. In this directory Casamundo, Interhome and atraveo are listed separately, but all three trace back to this parent.
How the search model works
Section 2 of the terms of service says guests may use the HomeToGo database free of charge. The terms also say HomeToGo is not the service provider for stays, so the contract, payment and cancellation rules come from the provider the guest is sent to. Some listings offer a direct booking form.
Who gets listed
Providers pay to appear. The list-your-property page offers either a commission of 15% per booking or an annual subscription, and the German terms say providers paying no remuneration are not listed. Subscription prices are not shown on the page we opened.
Scale
The about page describes millions of properties across several brands, which makes this the widest first search among the European names here. The price of that breadth is that a stay with a problem is handled by someone other than HomeToGo.
Limitations to Consider
Complaints go to the provider, results depend on who pays for listings, and subscription prices are not public on the page checked.
Who Should Use HomeToGo
Travellers who want to compare many European holiday homes before choosing a booking partner.
