Airbnb rival: The airline will launch the Ryanair Rooms service in October.

BERLIN: Ryanair is to take on Airbnb by offering private rooms and homes on its website, its latest bid to boost revenues by selling directly to the tens of millions of budget-conscious consumers who use its website.

Ryanair will launch the new Ryanair Rooms service in October, offering everything from five-star hotel rooms to hostels and spare rooms in private homes. It will add at least two partners to Booking.com, currently its exclusive accommodation partner.
