KOALA Is RedWeek 2.0

RedWeek can be a helpful option for some timeshare owners, but many struggle with upfront listing fees, insecure payout methods, and limited support. Meanwhile, millions of potential guests will never see your timeshare on RedWeek for 2 key reasons:   

1. They won’t pay upfront fees to see your listing.                                                                    2. They won’t use insecure payment methods.

We’re here to change that. KOALA is transforming timeshare rental with seamless uploads, secure payments, and consistent support from (yes!) real people.

Get Rented

Unlike RedWeek, we don’t charge you money to list or verify your timeshare, and we secure payments so the traveler feels confident when booking. Secure booking means more renters will see (and book!) your listing. 

How KOALA Compares to RedWeek:

“Travelers using RedWeek are also asked to pay timeshare owners directly via either checks or through PayPal at the time they are booking, and the charges are nonrefundable. Though it’s hardly rocket science, KOALA…secures every transaction through Stripe and that it also only pays the host once someone has checked in to ensure the renter is getting what they booked.”                                                                                      –TechCrunch

KOALA: We Hear You

We founded KOALA with 3 simple goals: 

1. Make listing your timeshare easy (and free) – listing a vacation should feel like a vacation.                                                                                                                                          2. Make your listing available to all travelers – not just those who know to look for timeshares.                                                                                                                                   3. Support you with outstanding customer service – if you have a question, you deserve a timely response from a real person.

When reviewing RedWeek’s services, many owners are surprised to learn they’ll pay upfront fees even if their timeshare isn’t booked. On KOALA, it’s 100% free to list your timeshare. Our commission applies to successful bookings only.

KOALA also makes it easier for travelers to see and book your timeshare. Unlike RedWeek, travelers can view and book your listing without paying any upfront membership fees. This means your timeshare listing is visible to all travelers. Better still, KOALA secures both parties, meaning you can say goodbye to complicated and insecure transactions.

We understand that the timeshare rental market can be difficult to navigate. That’s why our customer service team is standing by to support you in renting your timeshare. You can reach a KOALA team member by emailing hello@go-koala.com or call us (we’d love to hear from you!) at (833) KOALA-CO (833-562-5226).
