Wimdu Reviews
Wimdu is a German-based travel company. It traces its roots back to 2011 when it was registered as GmbH. This travel business was founded by two close friends, Arne Bleckwenn and Hinrich Dreiling. Arne and Hinrich had already founded other business companies together prior to Wimdu. Wimdu received funding from Kinnevik (Swedish investment company) and Rocket Internet (German internet company) amounting to $90 million. This has been recorded to be the largest investment for a European startup in history.

This has lead Wimdu to be the biggest social accommodation website from Europe in 2012. Given its continuous success, in 2014, Bleckwenn and Dreiling decided to step down as the CEOs. It was then that Arne Kahlke and Soren Kress were chosen by them to be the new CEOs, voluntarily handed over at the beginning of 2015. Just so you know, the new CEOs are the ones who founded “ElitePartner”.

What is Wimdu?

As yet growing rapidly, Wimdu has been a leading online platform offering private accommodation for all tastes and budgets. By connecting guests and hosts around the world, Wimdu offers an enjoyable authentic travel experience for those searching for a savvy contrasting option to inns.
Guests can search from 150 countries or 300,000 properties on their search engine. Basically, they just have to enter the keyword of their preferred destination, check-in and out date and number of guests. Wimdu can be interchangeable from English to 15 other languages.

Customers can guarantee all search results are valid and exclusive since Wimdu has a triple check service wherein they personally visit properties to check the quality of the establishment. Travellers unsure where to go or what to book can also check their option of Recently Booked and Top Destinations.

In a nutshell, Wimdu is the European version of Airbnb wherein customers can search for a decent apartment to rent or rent their own place.

Wimdu Reviews of Customers

However, I am being deceived in a lot of ways since Wimdu shows that their rating on Trustpilot is at 8.9/10, but when we personally checked their standing on Trustpilot, we saw a completely-different storyline. Actually, they are at 4.3/10 and according to 474 Wimdu reviews, the travel site is comparable to Airbnb in the complaint sense. Most of the consumers who posted their concerns here state that Wimdu is a fraud.

Overview

As for the name and its meaning of Wimdu, there’s nothing at all. The founders decided on the name over a few beers one evening, on the basis that it was memorable and meant nothing at all.
