Handiscover in a nutshell
Like on any booking website, you can search for multiple destinations, find accommodations and bookthem in one go, either on your desktop or mobile. But unlike any other website, we provide very detailed information about accessibility, at room level and you get the chance to book that specific room, knowing that Handiscover has validated (link to validated icon) the accessibility and will follow up with the host to ensure that you really get that room.
That is Our commitment.
Handiscover is all about preventing you from facing some of the horror stories that we have been facing over the years prior to Handiscover, when trying to book accessible accommodations or rooms on generic websites just to come to the hotel and not being able to enter the hotel due to stairs or finding that the accessible room had already been given to another guest!!
