01 · Case study
The
challenge.
Havn connects travellers with people who rent out their own homes. One site had to serve both sides: guests looking for a place to stay and hosts listing theirs, with clear prices and no way to book the same night twice.
- 01
Two sides, one site
Guests and hosts each get their own clear path through the same site.
- 02
Only places that are free
Search by city, dates and guests, and show only what can be booked.
- 03
The full price, up front
Nightly rate, guests, rooms and amenities, and the total before reserving.
- 04
Never booked twice
Dates lock when a stay is reserved, and availability updates on its own.
- 05
A person behind the chat
Questions about a stay or about hosting go to a real member of the team.

The
The finished site makes a stay quick to find and a place quick to share: from search to reservation in a few clicks, and from photos to a live listing in minutes.
Search, choose, book
City, dates and guests in one bar. Only free places come up, and a stay is reserved in a couple of clicks.
A listing that answers everything
Photos, the price per night, guests, bedrooms, beds and what the place offers.
List a place in minutes
Photos, a price and the number of guests, and the listing goes live straight away.
Trips and listings, kept together
Guests find their reservations in My trips; hosts manage theirs in My listings.
