Plum Guide is a global vacation rental company headquartered in London, UK, with offices in New York and Hong Kong. The company was launched in 2016.[1]
Plum Guide curates a list of short-let rental properties. It was initially a city-focused initiative with its primary collections in London, Paris, New York and Los Angeles. Later, the company expanded and as of 2021, it has properties in over 500 destinations across 29 countries on its portal.[2]
The company uses an algorithm to build a database of all the homes available in a destination, then systematically puts it through rounds of quality control, including a Plum Test, to come up with the top homes. It also comprises an on-site assessment by an independent Home Critic.[3][4][5][6] As of May 2017, the company reports that it has tested 67,527 London properties, of which 674 have been accepted for inclusion on the website.[7]
