After four incredible years of building Reef, we’ve made one of the biggest decisions in our company’s history.
We’ve become Settl.
This wasn’t a decision we took lightly. Reef has helped thousands of people discover inspiring places to work, study, meet and focus. It’s a name that has become synonymous with flexible workspaces, community, and helping people get out of the house and into great local venues.
So why change something that people already knew?
Reef was where we started—not where we’re going
When we launched Reef, remote working was exploding.
Our mission was simple: help people find great places to work beyond the office and home. Coffee shops, hotels, pubs, co-working spaces and independent venues all became part of a growing network that gave people more choice over where they worked.
But over the past four years, we’ve learned something much bigger.
People don’t just want somewhere to work.
They want somewhere to settle in.
Whether it’s answering emails over a coffee, revising for exams, holding a client meeting, writing a dissertation, collaborating with colleagues or simply escaping distractions at home, people are looking for spaces where they can feel comfortable, productive and welcome.
Our platform had evolved.
Our name hadn’t.
Why Settl?
Settl is about more than remote work.
It’s about helping people find the perfect place to settle—whatever they’re doing.
The name is simple, memorable and instantly communicates what our platform enables. It reflects the experience rather than the location.
Because we’re not just listing venues.
We’re helping people find their place.
More than a new name
This isn’t just a logo change.
Over the last year we’ve completely rebuilt the platform from the ground up using everything we’ve learned from our community.
Every piece of feedback from users and venue partners has helped shape a faster, simpler and more intuitive experience.
The new platform makes it easier to:
- Discover spaces that suit your needs.
- Book with confidence.
- Manage reservations effortlessly.
- Help venues showcase exactly what they offer.
- Connect people with spaces that genuinely fit the way they work, study and meet.
This is the platform we always wanted to build.
The future of flexible spaces
Flexible working isn’t slowing down.
Neither is flexible studying, freelancing, hybrid work or people wanting better places to spend their day.
We believe local venues have an increasingly important role to play in supporting these changing lifestyles.
Settl exists to bridge that gap—connecting people with welcoming spaces while helping venues unlock new customers and additional revenue.
It’s a win for everyone.
Thank you
To every user who booked through Reef…

You’ve helped shape what Settl has become.
This is only the beginning.
We’re excited for what’s next, and we can’t wait for you to experience the new platform.

A better place to settle in.
