Dog-Friendly Hotels
Dog-Friendly Hotels, is a European travel-tech startup building the first data-driven standard for pet-friendly hospitality. We use AI-powered review analysis, natural language processing, and computer vision to understand how welcoming a hotel really is for dogs—not just what it claims.
Our core innovation is the Dog-Friendly Index (DFI): an objective scoring system that evaluates comfort, accessibility, pet services, outdoor spaces, staff attitude, and real guest experience. This helps travelers choose with confidence, and helps hotels understand and improve their pet-friendly offering based on data—not guesswork.
We work with hotels, B&Bs, and hospitality operators who want to stand out in a growing travel segment and deliver genuinely inclusive, pet-friendly experiences.
Our mission is to make pet-inclusive travel easy, transparent, and enjoyable across Europe as the first global region to adopt a certified pet-friendly hospitality network.
We combine tourism, data intelligence, and real pet-owner insight to build the future of travel.
But we don’t just stop at providing data. We also offer a curated selection of dog-friendly hotels that we’ve personally vetted. These are places we trust to offer the comfort, convenience, and warmth that both you and your dog deserve. We believe in building a community that celebrates the joy of traveling with dogs, and we invite dog-friendly businesses to join us. If you own a hotel or provide a service that caters to dog lovers, we’d love to hear from you!
For a small fee, you can list your hotel or service on our site, reaching a dedicated audience of dog enthusiasts. Simply send us an email at info@dog-friendlyhotels.com to learn more.
Thank you for being part of our community. Together, let’s make the world a more dog-friendly place, one trip at a time.
