Roamer appears above the pricing panel whenever you are browsing vacation rental listings on Airbnb.
Where does the data come from?
Roamer uses the raw data generated from Google’s internet speed test. We have done the work to clean and translate the millions of tests run each day into a few trustworthy metrics.
What websites does Roamer work with?
Currently, Roamer is only compatible with Airbnb. Support for Vrbo and other sites is coming soon.
What information can I see with Roamer?
1) Download Speed
The speed at which information travels from the internet to your device. For example, if you are video chatting, your download speed would determine your ability to view other participants. Measured in megabits per second (Mbps).
2) Upload Speed
The speed at which information travels from your device to the internet. So if you are video chatting, your upload speed would impact how other participants view your video feed. Measured in megabits per second (Mbps).
3) Latency
Latency is the time required for a signal to travel from one computer to another computer on the network and back. When video chatting, high latency will cause delays in your conversation. Measured in milliseconds (MS).
4) Homes Tested
The number of unique addresses tested in the neighborhood over the past year. Generally, a neighborhood covers an area of 0.25 square miles.
Seamless integration into airbnb’s website. And as a host, seeing “Great Internet” on my listing makes me happy.
As an employee at a large tech company with a highly competitive culture, I can’t afford to stay in a place with poor internet while travelling. Roamer is crucial for someone like myself who values my career but also likes to travel. Roamer helps me eliminate places that have poor internet so that I don’t dial-in to a meeting and have absolutely no one understand what I’m saying.
Incredibly useful, especially this year, as so many are working from home/remotely. Makes it simple to plan a getaway while still having the peace of mind of reliable internet for work. Very clean extension that shows up right in Airbnb listings as you search.
Saved me $$ when I realized the Airbnb I was about to book had poor internet. Booked one with great internet and am happily working from home. thanks for building this
Roamer’s awesome 👏I love being able to find airbnbs with solid network speeds! As a remote worker, having a good internet connection is huge and I love it that now I don’t have to worry about that when I book an airbnb.
As an all remote employee and heavy internet user personally, this extension has helped bring peace of mind and set expectations. I can quickly see a range of speeds and verify with the host what their maximum is. It was super simple to install and works on all types of listings. 👏
Essential extension for Chrome. I spend more than 50% of my time on video calls for work, and Roamer has helped me find destinations with wifi that supports my needs. Rating system is intuitive and easy to understand. Extremely helpful!
Works like a charm! I can’t do my job without fast internet and Roamer helped me avoid bad experiences with some slow-internet Airbnbs!
Was trying to find out an Airbnb that had good wifi and ended up having to guess about the area. This helps alot. Thanks!
Simple and easy-to-use extension is a must when browsing Airbnb listings! Can travel to more remote areas without the usual WiFi stress.
Great planning tool for WF-anywhere. Not using this is simply too big of a risk for work.
The essential app for the post-covid / wfh world. Roamer helps me verify where there is great internet and is very accurate—unlike the airbnb hosts who always respond with “we have great wifi” when asked about their internet.
Sorely needed when evaluating different airbnbs. There was too much headache dealing with slow internet in the past. Now, I don’t have to take that risk – I can travel to cool places and still have the confidence to have good connectivity for work.
Super cool. Just what I needed to feel confident about remotely working, and even a leisurely rural outing in nature (yes I still need my Wi-Fi). I’ll make great use of this, thanks Roamer team!
I needed this badly. I have some flexibility to travel for work, but live on video calls. Peace of mind knowing I’ll be able to connect and work seamlessly when I travel is awesome!!
Incredible idea! My number 1 issue with working from remote locations is internet speeds. This makes selecting AirBnBs so much easier.
This extension has already provided me a ton of value when browsing Airbnb. I’ve definitely stayed at Airbnbs where the internet was subpar, and Roamer helps me avoid those duds. It gives me a lot of confidence and peace of mind that I’ll have a solid internet connection when working remotely.
