About padel·hubsThe directory we’d want as players.
Padel is the fastest-growing racket sport in Europe — Germany +92%, the UK doubling, Norway +122%. Most existing court databases are bookings-first products that bury the data we players actually want before a session: court count, surface, indoor or out, cost, parking. padel·hubs is the directory we built to fix that.
We don't process bookings. Click through to whichever platform a club uses — Playtomic, MatchPoint, the club's own site, whatever. We focus on getting the facts right and surfacing them clearly: court count, surface, indoor/outdoor, pricing, amenities. The parts of a club page that decide whether you book.
The rules we play by.
Six principles. Held to all of them. Hold us to them too.
Last verified, on every page
Every club listing carries a last-verified date. Owners can edit; players can flag stale data. We treat stale data as a bug, not a fact of life.
No fake reviews, ever
Reviews come from logged-in players or they don't come at all. We will never seed a listing with phantom 5-stars to make it look established. We have no problem with empty review sections.
No misleading paid placements
Premium / featured listings are clearly marked. We don't mix advertising into search results disguised as relevance. If you see a verified badge, the club paid for verification — not for placement.
No booking commission
padel·hubs is a directory, not a booking engine. Clicks go straight to the club's preferred platform (Playtomic, MatchPoint, their own site). We don't take a cut. We never will.
Player privacy first
No tracking pixels we wouldn't accept on our own browsers. No selling data, ever. Cookie banner is opt-in and tells you exactly what each cookie does.
Suggest-an-edit on every page
See something wrong? Email it. Better yet, claim the listing as the owner and fix it yourself in five minutes. Player-corrected data wins.
Common questions.
Where does the data come from?
Three sources, ranked by trust: 1) Owner-verified listings (claimed and edited by the club), 2) Public booking platforms aggregated daily, 3) Community submissions. Every row carries a `source` field so you can see which lane it came from.
Are you affiliated with Playtomic, MatchPoint, the FIP?
No. We link out to whichever booking platform each club uses, but we have no commercial relationship with any of them. They don't pay us; we don't pay them.
How does the verified badge work?
Club owner claims their listing, verifies ownership via a domain or phone-number check, and pays €19.99/month or €99/year. The badge appears immediately. Cancelling reverts the listing to the unverified community version — no data is lost.
I run a padel federation. Will you list our tournaments?
Tournaments are coming next year. We want to publish dates we're confident in (with federation cooperation), not scraped guesses. Get in touch at hello@padel-hubs.com if you want to be in the first batch.
