Prooms offers users another way to find lodging while traveling. Users can search private rooms to find one in the area they plan to visit that meets their needs. The site also allows users to post their private rooms as available. Renting a private room can give users a less expensive option compared to some hotels and other accommodations. The user can enter a country, city or zip code as well as an arrival and departure time and number of guests to refine their search. Prooms is also a good way to find accommodations that feel more like home. Users who post rooms as available can set various guidelines, such as how many nights the room can be rented for, how many people are permitted as well as addresses, maps contact information and photographs.
Prooms was created in 2008 to give users another option when searching for affordable, comfortable accommodations. The site was also intended to give users a place to offer up their unused living space as available to others. Prooms is currently still in beta, but promises to offer a helpful alternative to travelers.
Prooms is not another hotel search or data base of travel resources. The site is unique because it gives users a place to locate or offer private rooms. Most websites focus on the commercial side of accommodations. Very few offer a way to find privately available rooms Prooms offers a great resource that gives travelers more options when making plans for their next trip.
The Prooms website entices users with a rich, friendly color scheme featuring green and yellow. The site possesses an elegantly urban style, right down to the attractive logo featured in the header. Users can easily begin their hunt using the search tools found directly on the homepage. Colorful downward hanging tabs provide additional navigation options so users can easily find what they need on Prooms.
Users do not have to log in to search for available Prooms. Those who wish to create an account can begin by clicking on the yellow “My Prooms” tab at the top, right hand side of the page. The next page includes another yellow button along the right hand side. Clicking this takes the user to the registration form. The form asks for a username, password, email address and terms and conditions agreement. After entering the details, the user can click the yellow “Register” button at the bottom of the form. Users are then advised that they must check their email inbox for instructions on how to activate their account.
The cost of Prooms is another beneficial aspect offered by the application. Travelers on a tight budget can create an account for free. There are no subscription fees or charges for registering and searching for available private rooms. As long as the user is willing to take a couple of minutes to create an account, they can access the Prooms data base of available private rooms.
Prooms can be a helpful service for travelers on a tight budget or those who are looking for something different for their next trip. The site includes no commercial hotels or other similar accommodations. Instead, users can find privately offered rooms available or post their own. Users can also make a little cash by listing their rooms as available on Prooms. It looks like Prooms.com is not being actively developed anymore.
