Innclusive Review
It’s Airbnb But Focused On Removing Discrimination
I would feel a lot more comfortable choosing a home that the owner knowingly put on Innclusive.
Our reviewerAn Airbnb Alternative Built Around 'Be Yourself'
"Be Yourself" is the first thing visitors see on Innclusive's site, and it sets the tone for the whole platform: a home-sharing service focused on providing safe, welcoming stays for everyone. The design leans close to Airbnb's, which our reviewer found more reassuring than derivative.
Innclusive differentiates itself two ways — every host has to affirm they're open-minded and accepting, and most listings are instant-accept, meaning a host can't screen a guest by appearance before approving the booking. It's a compelling anti-discrimination mechanism, though it does raise a fair question about how the platform handles guests with a genuinely poor track record for noise or mess, since instant-accept removes a host's ability to pre-screen based on past reviews too.
Booking an actual stay in Los Angeles felt nearly identical to Airbnb: enter a location, dates and guest count, browse a map of listings, and check out. Prices came in comparable to Airbnb's, and the smaller pool of available listings — expected for a newer service — was offset by hosts who felt genuinely community-minded rather than purely transactional.
Beyond the bookings themselves, Innclusive is building something closer to a network of open-minded travelers and hosts than a simple listings site, which is arguably its most exciting long-term feature. Between comparable pricing, a friendly host experience, and a $20 discount on a first stay, it's an easy platform to recommend trying alongside Airbnb rather than instead of it, at least until its inventory grows.
Why We Love It
- Mission-driven platform focused on inclusive, judgment-free travel
- All hosts must affirm they're open-minded and accepting of all guests
- Instant-accept booking removes appearance-based screening from the process
- Pricing came in comparable to Airbnb in testing
- Hosts felt more community-minded and less purely transactional
- $20 off a first stay for new sign-ups
Considerations
- Meaningfully fewer listings than Airbnb, as a newer service
- Instant-accept booking raises open questions about how legitimately poor guest reviews (noise, mess) factor into future bookings
Our Hands-On Review
Booking a stay in Los Angeles followed the exact flow you'd expect from Airbnb: location, dates, guest count, then a map and list of available listings. The process from browsing to entering payment details went smoothly with no unexpected friction.
The standout difference was the hosts themselves — several came across as genuinely community-minded, a contrast to some past Airbnb stays that felt more purely transactional. Prices landed in line with what the same trip would have cost on Airbnb.
More Than Just Listings
Innclusive is positioning itself as a network of open-minded travelers and hosts, not just a booking site — a community angle that stood out as one of the platform's most exciting features.
