Discover hotels and Airbnbs with verified WiFi speeds for seamless remote work.
Remote workers can't reliably identify WiFi speeds or verified remote work setups when booking hotels and Airbnbs on hospitality platforms.
WiFiNomad is a crowdsourced directory where remote workers submit speed test results and setup reviews for specific listings. Users search and filter stays by download/upload speeds, jitter, and work-friendliness scores before booking. Hosts get insights to improve their listings, building a reliable database over time.
