time for a workation?
Work happens anywhere ...
that has decent internet!
Finding great accommodation for a workation has become easier. Ensuring reliable internet for work, particularly for video calls, not so much. Many places list that they have internet, but is it fast & reliable? So you find yourself combing through reviews for any hint of dependable Wi-Fi before committing to a booking.
We've all been there
You arrive for a month-long booking only to discover the internet can’t handle video calls?
Suddenly, remote work doesn’t seem so appealing to your team back at the office.
As you scramble to find a new place or a nearby café with decent internet, the hassle and potential cost spoils the dream.
Enter Netoly
Simply send your future host our easy-to-use internet test. We’ll provide you with a comprehensive report detailing upload/download speeds, latency, jitter, and a suitability rating for activities like video calls, gaming, and streaming. This way, your host avoids embarrassment, and you’re in the know before you even pack your bags.
It's Easy and Free
Just three steps to peace of mind
Neither you or your host need any technical knowledge. It takes each of you 10 minutes at most and saves a major headache down the line.
1. Grab an account and set up a test
Register for free, log in, and prepare your first test by selecting your office/clients’ country. Then, send your host the test link via email, WhatsApp, or Airbnb chat.
2. Host gets a link and runs the test locally
Your host follows simple instructions to test their guest network with their phone or laptop, running it multiple times if they wish, and sees their results in real time.
3. You get the results
You receive a notification, log back in, and review the detailed test results, including the test location. With this info, you can book your stay confidently.

Questions?
What’s the catch? Absolutely, Netoly is 100% free. Our mission is to build the best network testing tool to remove the uncertainty from your travel bookings. The only thing we ask is for your feedback occasionally if we reach out. While the current version is free, we’re also developing an advanced app-based test for those seeking complete certainty.
An account is necessary to receive your test results. It also allows for multiple tests by your host, or for re-testing if network issues have been addressed. Plus, you might find Netoly handy for future travels!
Our test employs industry-standard benchmarks with open-source technology from CloudFlare, a leading network service provider. It conducts multiple uploads and downloads tests under various conditions, averaging the results for reliability. In short, it’s quite thorough. For added peace of mind, you might ask your host to run the test at different times.
Network conditions can change, so while a positive test result is reassuring, unexpected issues like network congestion could occur during your stay—just as they might at home or work. There’s also the chance a host might use a mobile data connection or a different Wi-Fi network for the test. Netoly checks the test’s location to mitigate this, but it can’t guarantee with absolute certainty that the guest Wi-Fi was used. If discrepancies arise upon your arrival, your saved benchmark in Netoly offers a factual basis to discuss any issues with your host. Note however that Netoly can only offer a snapshot of the network in a window of time – we cannot guarantee that this will be true of the network at all times, or even in general.
For hosts, the stakes are high: a negative experience could lead to a damaging review, affecting their reputation and rental income significantly. Most hosts aren’t intentionally misleading about their internet quality; often, they’re simply unaware of the specifics. Improving their service with something as simple as a new router is a small investment compared to the potential loss of income from unsatisfied guests.
