History

1994 four partners launched Venere.com and developed the first beta version of the hotel booking engine. In February 1995 the first marketing activities were launched for hotels in Rome and Florence. The first reservation arrived in June 1995. In 2001 Venere.com became a Joint Stock Company (Venere Net SPA) and opened international offices in London (Venere UK LTD) and Paris (Venere France SARL).

In 2007 the global private equity firm Advent International acquires a 60% stake in Venere Net.

Expedia Inc. acquired 100% of Venere.com in 2008.

As of December 1, 2016, Venere.com was replaced by Hotels.com (another existing brand owned by Expedia) the Venere.com app is non operational after this date with users advised to download the Hotels.com existing app instead.

Services

In 2001 Venere.com became a pioneer with the publication of hotel reviews. Property features can be rated independently by users who have actually stayed at the hotel in question. Hotel reviews are then published in specific consumer categories.
