Badi came out of Barcelona in 2015 and grew into one of the busier room rental platforms in Europe, with the heaviest traffic in Barcelona, Madrid, London, Berlin and Paris. The idea was to match people first and the flat second, so the algorithm sorts listings by lifestyle and habits rather than location alone. Requests to book go through the platform: the tenant pays online, the money is held, and both sides keep their phone numbers private until the deal is done.
Handy for students and newcomers arranging a room from abroad, since the booking flow removes the classic deposit scam. The trade off is the service fee on a confirmed booking and the fact that some listings are managed by agencies rather than the future flatmates. Reviews complain about response times from support when a booking goes sideways, so read the cancellation terms before paying.
