Landfolk is a Danish startup founded in 2021 that operates a curated platform and community for holiday-home enthusiasts. Built by ex‑Airbnb employees, the product handpicks listings based on criteria such as personality, scenic surroundings, great hosts and consistent quality. The platform currently features more than 1,000 holiday homes across Denmark, Norway and Germany. Landfolk targets owners who have not traditionally rented their secondary homes and aims to expand the rental market (the article notes only one-fifth of Danish holiday homes are rented out). The company has launched in Germany and Norway in the past three months and plans to double its number of listings over the next year while further developing the product. No specific revenue figures were disclosed, though investors cite an "impressive turnover." Landfolk is an Aarhus-based platform founded in 2021 by ex-Airbnb employees that curates handpicked Danish summer houses and builds a community for holiday-home enthusiasts. Listings must fulfil five specific criteria and the company emphasizes design, charm and authenticity. In a little over a year the team has built a platform of more than 300 unique Danish summer houses listed by passionate hosts. The startup reports that 79% of homeowners are younger than 50 and that more than half have never rented their homes out before. Landfolk says booking volume in 2022 exceeded the entire previous year and it plans to list over 1,000 hand-picked Danish holiday homes by the end of 2022. The company intends to expand its offering to Germany and Sweden and is using recent funding to support international growth.
