Furnished, self-catering homes for crews, with utilities, Wi-Fi, local taxes and support in the rate. One contract and one invoice for every country your project touches.
The short version
All-inclusive should mean the number you approve is the number you pay. No utility bill arriving a month after the crew has left, no Wi-Fi top-ups, no tourist tax collected in cash at the door.
With us, utilities, Wi-Fi, local taxes and support are in the rate for every property. Cleaning frequency, linen changes and parking differ between properties, so we confirm them before you approve, not after the stay.
It matters most when the crew crosses borders. Every country handles rental extras differently, and on a multi-country project those extras become a job in themselves.
What is really included
The headline rate is rarely the full cost. This is where the extras usually hide.

Before you book
All-inclusive is a useful word but it is not a standard. These are the points that decide whether it holds.
Electricity, heating, water and internet in the rate, with no meter reading at check-out and no bill to split between workers.
Where a city or region charges a tourist or visitor tax, it is in the number you approve rather than collected from each worker on arrival.
How often the property is cleaned and whether linen and towels are changed during the stay, confirmed per property before you approve it.
We confirm the bed configuration of every property. A sofa bed is not a bed for someone working twelve-hour shifts.
What parking comes with the property, and whether it takes a van. If you need more, it is priced before the booking.
Extra cleaning for a large shared house or a garage for tools is quoted up front, never added after the stay.
Coverage
Capital cities are easy. What clients actually keep a partner for is Koblenz, Groningen, Hillerød, Kežmarok, Varese and Prestwick.
These are the projects we publish. Coverage runs to 27 markets, plus project work in the United States.
All locationsProcess
Location, team size, dates, budget. A site postcode and a headcount is enough to start.
Typically within 24 hours, sourced from partners in that market rather than pulled off a platform.
We handle booking coordination, contracts and staggered check-ins with every property owner.
One WhatsApp channel for your crew, one invoice for your finance team, for the length of the stay.
In practice
Irish industrial contractor
★★★★★
An Irish industrial contractor mobilising a crew to Limerick, on a project running from early July into August.
The Challenge
Eleven people needed furnished beds in Limerick from early July, held for a project running into August, with the crew housed close enough to the site to travel together. It was peak summer season, when Limerick prices are at their highest, and the market is small with a student-heavy supply base. Almost nothing was bookable at that size and duration through hotels or platforms, and no one was offering eleven beds held at a fixed rate for the length of the project.
The Solution
We sourced direct from local owners rather than platforms: three four-bed houses, close enough to the site for the crew to travel together, held at a fixed rate for the length of the project. Seven days from brief to start date, staggered check-ins coordinated with the owners, one WhatsApp channel during the stay, and one consolidated VAT-compliant invoice on 30-day terms. The stay came in 42 percent under what the same crew would have cost in short-stay inventory.

AIS Vanguard, part of Ainscough Industrial Services, is one of the UK's leading machinery relocation companies, delivering projects across Europe and the United States.
The Challenge
Their accommodation needs were often last-minute and spread across multiple locations, typically requiring upfront card payments, pulling project managers into day-to-day coordination with multiple hosts, and creating language barriers that made issues harder to resolve. Invoicing was fragmented, receipts had to be chased, and there was no leverage on rates or payment terms.
The Solution
Bonjour became their accommodation partner across the UK, Germany, France, Spain, Italy, USA and beyond. We work with individual project teams to source accommodation tailored to the client's preferences, coordinate check-in and check-out directly with workers, and handle any property issues via WhatsApp during the stay. AIS Vanguard now benefits from one point of contact, consolidated VAT-compliant invoicing in their local currency, no upfront card payments and smoother multi-country delivery.
