YallaStay operates as an online hotel booking portal headquartered in Dubai, UAE, and was founded on July 31, 2014. The company targets the consumer travel market with a Business-to-Consumer (B2C) model.
The platform's core offering is a hotel reservation service with access to an inventory of over 200,000 hotels across more than 16,000 cities globally. In addition to accommodation, the portal facilitates bookings for global car rentals and flight tickets, positioning itself as a comprehensive travel booking tool.
A key feature of YallaStay's service is its "Auto Rebook" function. This tool automatically tracks the price of a booked hotel and, if a price drop occurs, it rebooks the room at the lower rate and refunds the difference to the customer. This provides a distinct value proposition by ensuring customers receive the best possible price for their booking, even after the initial transaction.
The company's revenue is generated through commissions on bookings made via its platform for hotels, car rentals, and flights. In November 2014, YallaStay secured approximately $408,000 in a seed equity funding round, which indicates early investor confidence in its business model and growth potential within the competitive online travel agency sector.
