Much more impressively, however, Room 77 has a plethora of floor plans for motels, guest houses and lodgings of all types. It sifts through 425,000 individual hotel rooms in 16 worldwide cities so far, expanding every day. A simple customization of your settings on the Room 77 iPhone app will recommend your quintessential quarters based on floor number, view, proximity to the elevator and more. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 1.7/10 - Popularity: 22% | Activity: 21% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, South America, Europe, Asia, Africa ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Tech](https://www.trendhunter.com/tech) > [Mobile](https://www.trendhunter.com/mobile) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Social Sharing Reviews:** An opportunity for the hospitality industry to leverage on social media by encouraging guests to share their hotel experiences through reviews on apps - **Customised Recommendations:** An opportunity for tech companies to develop customized recommendation algorithms based on specific preferences for people looking for accommodation - **Extensive Database Technology:** An opportunity for the travel industry to use extensive database technology to enable customers to filter and find accommodation that suits them best ### Sectors Adopting This - **Hospitality Industry:** The hospitality industry can leverage on these apps to enhance customer experiences and market their properties to potential customers - **Tech Industry:** Tech companies can develop innovative algorithms that enable customers to find customized accommodations suited to their preferences - **Travel Industry:** The travel industry can use extensive database technology to enable customers to filter and find accommodation that suits their preferences and provide better travel experiences ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Social Travel Exploration Platforms](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/roameio.md) - [Guest Experience Hotel Apps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/openkey.md) - [Detailed Travel-Planning Apps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/80daysme.md) - [AI-Powered Roommate-Matching Apps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/coliving-sector.md) - [3D AR Home Improvement Apps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/roomle.md) - [Travel Itinerary Managers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/roamazing.md) - [Comprehensive RV Rental Platforms](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/rv-rental-platform.md) - [Romantic Getaway Platforms](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lovu.md) - [Curated Flight Deal Apps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-going-app.md)
