The Plum Story

Doron, our CEO, had always been one to read thousands of reviews before making a booking. He was looking for an Airbnb in Tel Aviv and ended up booking what was really his third choice because the first two weren’t actually available, which was a frustrating process in itself!

He was feeling fed up with the booking experience but was totally blown away once he arrived. It was by far the best experience he had ever had on Airbnb. From the intricate furnishings and gorgeous view to the hand-delivered breakfast basket fresh from the market every morning it’s fair to say the home had far surpassed his expectations and he really felt like he had hit the jackpot. There really wasn’t anything on the listing or in the guest reviews that set this home apart from others with the same review scores which got him thinking… there must be a way where guests can feel like they have won the golden ticket every time that they stay.
