Halalbooking

From EverybodyWiki Bios & Wiki




Halalbooking is an online travel booking platform that allows travellers to search and book accommodation using filters related to halal and family-oriented preferences.[1][2] The service allows users to filter properties by criteria such as halal food availability, alcohol-free arrangements, and privacy-related features for leisure facilities.[3][4]

The platform is operated by Halalbooking Ltd, a private limited company incorporated in the United Kingdom in 2009, which has traded under several previous names according to the UK Companies House register.[5]

Halalbooking has received coverage in travel trade and business media for its niche focus, partnerships, and investment announcements, including a partnership with Expedia reported in 2020 and a $5 million investment reported in 2025.[6][7] The company has also been named in travel-industry awards coverage, including at the Travolution Awards and in Phocuswright’s Launch competition coverage.[8][9]

History

Halalbooking Ltd was incorporated on 3 November 2009 and later traded under multiple names, including Faith Travel Ltd., Sultanic Sojourns Ltd, Crescent Tours Ltd, and Halal Booking Ltd, before adopting the name Halalbooking Ltd.[10]

The Halalbooking brand was established in 2014 and later expanded its accommodation supply through partnerships, including a partnership with Expedia in 2020.[11][12]

Services

Halalbooking operates as a travel booking platform for accommodation, with a focus on property information relevant to halal-conscious travellers. Filters and descriptors include halal food availability, the presence or absence of alcohol, and privacy-related arrangements for facilities such as pools, beaches, and spas.[13][14]

Funding and investment

In 2019, travel industry publications reported that the company closed a $2.5 million funding round.[15]

In 2025, Salaam Gateway reported that Halalbooking raised $5 million from Dutch investment firm Capital Mills in a non-dilutive investment deal, and the same report referenced a prior $2.5 million Series B round.[16] (Figures and performance metrics reported in funding coverage are not repeated here unless independently corroborated by multiple reliable sources.)

Reception and coverage

The business and travel media have discussed Halalbooking in the context of halal-friendly travel and the needs of Muslim travellers, describing the platform’s emphasis on searchable accommodation attributes relevant to religious practice and privacy preferences.[17][18]

In 2025, travel trade publications published profile coverage discussing the company’s development within the halal-friendly travel segment.[19][20]

Awards and recognition

In 2020, the Travolution Awards named Halalbooking as "Rising Brand of the Year".[21]
