Built for Boutique Operators,
by Boutique Operators

We run our own boutique stay.
We’ve traveled the world — with backpacks, babies, and big expectations.
We know what guests remember... and what they’ll review.

We specialise in:

  • Eco-cabins & glamping

  • Boutique and medium sized hotels

  • Tiny homes & farmstays

  • B&Bs & guesthouses

  • Luxury lodges & design-forward retreats

     Why We're Doing This

“After years of staying in boutique gems around the world, we saw patterns — and problems — that even the most thoughtful hosts missed. So we created TrueStay: a way to offer honest, helpful feedback that lifts reviews, boosts bookings, and builds better stays.”

 

— Tim & Caroline, Founders

how we work?

For the most comprehensive on-site analysis,

we recommend a stay of two to five days. Once confidentiality agreements are signed, Tim and Caroline will make anonymous reservations through your nominated platform and begin detailed reporting from the booking stage through to check-in and check-out.
