Places to Stay

Find a locally owned, women-friendly place to stay here

How this works: This is a free to use, in service to women seeking recommended accommodations.To do this, we need your help. Share your recommendations. Invite other women to participate. Help us build this into a trusted place to find and share women-friendly places to stay around the world.

1. To find a place to stay, use the bar on the left to search by city, state/province or country. You will need to select the country first before seeing the available cities. If the city isn’t listed that means it hasn’t been populated yet, so we need your recommendations! The more we have the better this is!

2. To add a recommended accommodation, use the green button below. To submit a place to stay, you must agree that it is not your own or one you have a financial interest in. All listings must be available on a third-party booking platform (eg Airbnb, Booking.com, TripAdvisor, Trusted Housesitters, etc) so that women can review the details, including safety and accessibility information. Private or residential listings are not accepted. All listings will be reviewed and ownership checked prior to publishing the listing. Our goal is to have new listings up within 72 hours, assuming all information has been provided on the form.

3. Sponsored listings: Those listings with a pink background are paid listings from our partners, who have undergone a verification process and help us offer this service at no charge to you.  

Disclaimer: This is provided as a service to women. We are not involved in the booking process, nor do we accept responsibility for any issues that may arise. We welcome your feedback at [email protected].

A view of Fyvie Castle, where women can find a safe place to stay at the Preston Tower Apartment in Turriff, Scotland, near Aberdeen.

Preston Tower Fyvie Castle

Submitted by: Nancy

This accomodation can hold 12 and is part of a castle. It is beautifully decorated and extremely clean. We had a great time. As it is a 4 storey castle there are many stairs so not possible for folks unable to do at least 10 circular stairs.

Casa-Julian-Tulum

Casa Julian

Submitted by: Stephanie

A gorgeous apartment in the quiet and safe Aldea Zama neighbourhood of Tulum. There was plenty of space for our group of six with bikes and housekeeping included. The air-conditioning worked great, and there is a small cenote in the backyard!

Skostredet Hotel

Submitted by: Heather McR.

Found on one of Bergen’s most charming pedestrian streets, the Skostredet boutique hotel has a creative, welcoming vibe that makes solo travelers feel instantly at ease. Think soft lighting, cool design, and a location that’s quiet but just steps from shops, cafés, and the harbor—perfect for wandering safely at your own pace.

Mercure Sirkeci Istanbul

Submitted by: Joanne

I stayed alone for two nights at this hotel before joining a tour and felt very safe and comfortable. The employees are helpful and welcoming. The front desk clerk gave me a free Istanbul public transit card and they offered to walk me to my next hotel and carry my luggage without me asking. Close to everything in Old town. Ferry, tram, famous mosques and attractions, ATMs, restaurants and Grand Bazaar. Ideal location. My room was large and had amazing views. Very quiet.

Holiday House Borgo Pinti

Submitted by: Julie I.

I stayed at this lovely guest house in Florence in the summer. Very reasonably priced and with different room configurations. Walking distance to the Duomo. Provides a light breakfast but lots of restaurants in the area if you want a bigger meal. Run by nuns- was a former monastery

A gothic, cozy double room at La Casa del Maestro in Seville, Spain, recommended by a JourneyWoman reader as a safe place for women to stay.

La Casa del Maestro

Submitted by: Carolyn

I stayed here during Semana Santa in April 2024. It was the perfect place to see the neighbourhood processions and just a short walk to the Cathedral. There is no restaurant but there is a small breakfast area. Also no elevator but only two flights up max.
