The University of Huddersfield does not endorse the use of peer-to-peer accommodation (such as Airbnb) by staff travelling on University business and our appointed Travel Management Company will not book these properties on our behalf.
When considering accommodation for trips abroad, we recommend using Key Travel as this supplier has been providing accommodation for this sector for a number of years, has been tested, audited for health and safety requirements, provides proof of relevant insurance requirements and is the University’s recommended Travel Management Company.
However, if you decide to make your own accommodation arrangements and are considering providers such as Airbnb, the University firmly advise that you carry out the appropriate due diligence checks on this accommodation to ensure it meets your requirements, has the necessary insurance in place in case something goes wrong, i.e. the property causes a personal injury to the person renting the property, the property has been double booked and is not available when you arrive etc
