I recently came across a cool new website called travelmob that started back in 2012 and offers luxury villas, condos, apartments, rooms, and more across Asia for very affordable prices. I traveled through Asia last year and the hotels started to add after a while. I wish I’d known about this site and lived like a local, in a great location, and in an awesome apartment. I did a random search and found a 2 bedroom and 3 bedroom apartment in the heart of Bangkok for only $99 and $114 per night respectively. These apartments looked great and would be perfect for accommodating a family or a group of friends traveling through the country.
The website works just like Airbnb and gives you all the information on the apartment, the location, a little bit about the owner, and the option to contact the owner.
The listing also includes reviews as well as a map, calendar, amenities, and “house rules.”
As an alternative option to Airbnb and a website that has some great listings at a low cost, travelmob is definitely a great option and a website worth checking out when making your next travel plans through Europe!
Use your Barclaycard Arrival™ World MasterCard® to expense your bookings with travelmob and stay at a luxury apartment for free with a $440 statement credit towards travel when you sign up!

Good to know, thanks for the FYI!
Don’t use it, friend used it in VietNam; when he got there place wanted more money saying they made a mistake. Travelmob offered to refund the money he had paid, but he was on his own to find a place for 10 days; Travelmob refused to help saying it wasn’t their problem.
I wouldn’t use it after seeing what he went through.
Thanks for the heads up Scott! It’s great to hear personal experiences with services such as these and it’s important to read the reviews given by people who have stayed at potential listings that you’re looking at.
Don’t use that website terrible customer services, Someone used my card to make a reservation and I emailed them to say that I didn’t do the transaction and that it should be cancel… they said that it was impossible that I didn’t make the transaction…. And I emailed them because it is impossible to find a customer service phone number on their website……
