Handiscover enables to find accessible accommodations for all level of mobility
Handiscover is a unique accommodation booking website dedicated to people with limited mobility, started by Sebastien A. following his family's struggle to appropriate accommodations when travelling the world with their son who suffers from a muscle disease requiring use of a wheelchair.
Handiscover has created its own accessibility classification system, powered by its unique algorithm, which enables users to find accommodations adapted to their mobility needs.
Icon 1: You can walk and can handle going up a few stairs
Icon 2: You can only handle one step at a time and require some accessibility. The accommodation is suitable for some wheelchair users.
Icon 3: You need a fully accessible accommodation. Thresholds at a maximum of 3 centimetres. Suitable for all wheelchair users.
Handiscover has now over 3000 accommodations in over 30 countries.
