Our Top 10 Clubs (And Discounts!)

Clubs are a defining feature of the FlatClub platform and club membership comes with many benefits.


Wait, what are clubs exactly? Very simply, clubs on FlatClub are private networks, most often for University or Corporate communities. To join a club we need to verify your affiliation to that network by email address or your social graph. There are over 400 clubs active now on FlatClub with a regular flow of new requests.

Ok, so why have clubs? Club membership simply adds another dimension to the matchmaking process for short term accommodation. Both guests and hosts can verify their identities and affiliations to a network others know and trust. Discerning hosts can limit the visibility of their flat posting to certain clubs if they wish.

Clubs on the site also enable FlatClub to better serve our University and Corporate client partners. (psst! all club members get a booking discount and the more members there are the larger the discount!) Learn more about our partnership services for Corporate and University communities.
