Hotel stays just got a lot greener
Discover eco-certified hotels, carbon-friendly stays
We love hotel partners that love the planet!
Eco-stays combined with a carbon reduction program mean a better tomorrow!
Bidroom welcomes earth-friendly travellers by ensuring the quality of our sustainable hotels with green practice transparency.
Combined with our integrated carbon reduction program, eco-conscious booking has never been easier and all whilst reducing the impact on our environment!
To help you navigate our collection of eco-hotels we have created three categories depending on their sustainability certification: Eco-Superhero, Eco-Hero and Eco-Friend.
All of our eco-hotels have met the sustainable tourism standards by organisations such as the Global Sustainable Tourism Council based on some or all of the 4 pillars of sustainability (eco-superhero and eco-hero). Others are taking significant steps to offer their guests an eco-friendly stay (eco-friend).
Four Pillars of Sustainability
The pillars of sustainability indicate programs, initiatives and actions aimed at the preservation of a particular resource in four distinct areas: human, social, economic, and environmental.
Sustainability Management
Effective management program of sustainability initiatives
Socioeconomic Impacts
Support diversity within the organization, customers and vendors, and the community
Cultural Impacts
Maximize benefits to cultural heritage while minimizing negative impacts
Environmental Impacts
Mitigate damage, apply restorative solutions; involve the community and tourists to both participate and lead
Eco-labels by Bidroom
You will find these eco-labels in the hotel listings when you search for your next stay. Property ranking is based on certification type plus how many pillars have been satisfied.
Eco-superhero
Properties in this category have met the full spectrum of sustainability by satisfying all 4 pillars. Certification is through an independent body that follows sustainable tourism standards as defined by GSTC and verified by an onsite, 3rd-party audit.
Eco-hero
Properties in this category have undertaken 2 or more of the 4 pillars of sustainability and are certified by an independent body that follows either GSTC standards (without an on-site audit) or other internationally recognised standards.
Eco-friend
Properties in this category have focused on environmental impact only or have undertaken up to 3 out of 4 core pillars of sustainability and are certified by a verified country- or region-specific program or an independent certification body, which 3rd parties do not recognise.
Making every stay climate-friendly!
We contribute to reducing carbon emissions by helping fund global eco-projects.
We’ve partnered with SQUAKE to help tackle the goal of hassle-free carbon reduction.
- For every stay, Bidroom pays a fee evaluated on the carbon emissions generated, which goes into a carbon fund.
- The “cCarbon fund,” managed by SQUAKE, helps support global sustainable projects.
To help support sustainable ventures around the globe, projects change periodically. Current projects:
- Rimba Raya
The Rimba Raya Reserve in Borneo’s southeast covers around 64k hectares dedicated to protecting species such as the Bornean Orangutan. So far, the project is supporting 13 community-based initiatives bordering the forest ranging from water filtration to supporting a shrimp aquaculture co-operative.

- Biochar in France
Sylva Fertilis is one of France's leading suppliers of biochar. Its production site, located in Argentan in the Normandy region, produces biochar from carefully selected wood pellets.
