# Vain Room Rental Services 'Love Room' Only Helps Attractive People to Find Accomodations By Laura McQuarrie | Published 2013-11-20 | World Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/love-room References: [psfk](http://www.psfk.com/2013/11/airbnb-dating-service-love-room.html) & [loveroom.launchrock](http://loveroom.launchrock.com/) 'Love Room' is an [Airbnb](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/airbnb-services)-like service, except that it is designed to help to "rent your room to attractive people." Anyone who is single can join, but the attractiveness of a prospective renter will be under scrutiny. This makes the service almost like [hybrid dating service](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/frome-dating-app), mixed with a place where people can [find accommodations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/peertopeer-rental). To determine if guests will be a suitable match, Love Room asks suggestive questions like "tub or shower?" and "carpet or hardwood?" Other than money, Love Room sure seems to suggest that there will be some other kind of exchange for offering a room up to guests. The service is currently now live, but it is set for a full launch on Valentines Day in 2014. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 4.6/10 - Popularity: 52% | Activity: 79% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 30% men, 70% women - Primary generations: Millennial - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [World](https://www.trendhunter.com/world) > [Travel](https://www.trendhunter.com/travel) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Selective Room Rental:** A trend in which room rental platforms focus on selecting guests based on specific criteria, such as attractiveness, to create unique experiences. - **Hybrid Dating-accommodation Services:** An emerging trend where platforms combine elements of dating and accommodations to offer a more personalized experience for users. - **Alternative Exchanges for Room Rentals:** A trend in which room rental services explore unconventional forms of exchange, beyond monetary payment, to enhance the experience for both hosts and guests. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Hospitality:** The hospitality industry can capitalize on the trend of selective room rental by offering specialized accommodations that cater to specific guest preferences or criteria. - **Dating:** The dating industry can explore the integration of accommodation services to create unique dating experiences for users. - **Shared Economy:** The shared economy industry can explore alternative forms of exchange for room rentals, such as skills, services, or experiences, to foster a sense of community and enhance the overall value proposition for users. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Personalized Digital Dating Rooms](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/virtual-spaces-for-singles.md) - [Romantic Getaway Platforms](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lovu.md) - [AI-Powered Roommate-Matching Apps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/coliving-sector.md) - [Virtual Roommate Search Tools](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/roommate-search.md) - [Curated Professional Dating Apps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/luxy-dating-service.md) - [Worldwide Service Marketplaces](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/airbnb-services.md) - [Professional-Focused Dating Apps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lady-matchmaker.md) - [AI Rental Solutions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ai-rental.md) - [Branded Departure Boards](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bumble-airlines.md)
