Summary/Abstract: This study is focused on changes in the accommodation services market affected by shared accommodation platforms. The housing services market in the Czech Republic is segmented complexly. Traditional types of accommodation including hotels, pensions and hostels are using digital platforms such as Trivago, Booking, TripAdvisor, etc. only to mediate offered short-term housing services. The offer of so-called shared accommodation has expanded considerably. One of the most widespread is a digital platform Airbnb acting as an accommodation service provider mediating private immovable properties as well as collective accommodation facilities.
