CONGRATS!! You've discovered homestaysDOS - The DOS stands for Direct Owner Se and you can use our website to communicate directly with owners of the most beautiful private apartments, holiday homes and farmhouses that you can stay in for your next holiday.

HomestaysDOS is India's largest directory of holiday homes, dormitories, camping grounds and Holiday Apartments available for short term rent. We let travelers discover properties that meet their requirements and book them for their holiday.

The website was founded by Roshan D'Silva - a technology entrepreneur when looking for ways to generate additional income from Coffee Plantations owned by his family in Sakleshpur, Karnataka. When doing so, Roshan realized that there did not exist a simple website where private home owners could post their details and communicate with travelers. Intially growing through word of mouth, HomestaysDOS.com is today a vibrant community of home owners and discerning travelers. We are proud to play a small role in making the world a happier place by enabling memorable holidays for families, friends and students.

On HomestaysDOS.com, travelers and owners of Vacation Properties discuss their holiday plans with each other and then use the website's in built money transfer capability to transfer money to the other party. The system has been designed to ensure safety and privacy of all users of the system and to safeguard the Owners as well as travelers from Fraud and anti-social elements. We have also partnered with multiple developers of Second Home Properties to offer an income stream to property owners who have purchased properties in their developments.
