We spent our evenings searching for places like these. So we started keeping a list.

It started with our own holidays

My fiancée and I travel for two things: quiet and adventure. A week where time stands still, or a week full of discovery. Not because we mind children; it is simply a different kind of quiet.

Finding those places was always the hard part. Big booking sites bury them, filters are unreliable, and an “adults-only” tag often turns out to mean “family-friendly with a spa.” So we started keeping our own notes.

From a private list to a collection

After a few years the list had grown, and friends kept asking to see it.

HUSH is us opening up that notebook. Every place here is one we would book ourselves, and we write about it the way we would tell a friend.

What “adults only” means here

One thing: the property’s own house rules set a minimum age of 18 or higher. We read those rules ourselves for every place and show the age on each listing, so there are no surprises at check-in.

How we check is written up in How we verify.

Who is behind HUSH

Just the two of us: Max and my fiancée. We live in Prague, where we design digital products for a living. HUSH is what we build in our spare time, because we wanted it to exist.

Every page is written by hand, and every hotel hears from us before it goes live.

How we pay for this

When you book through a listing, our booking partner pays us a small commission out of the room rate. You pay the exact same price either way.

No hotel pays to be listed, and no one can buy a place at the top.

We write the descriptions ourselves from the property’s own materials; the photos, rooms and prices come from our booking partner.
