How the fee works
We earn when your home earns.
The fee is a share of the month’s result: what your home earned, minus that month’s running costs. Not a share of gross bookings.
If a month ends below zero, we take nothing, and the balance carries into the next month.

FAQ
Questions owners ask.
Is there an onboarding fee?

Which fee applies to my home?
20% for short stays. 17% when we manage two or more of your homes. 15% for bookings of 30 nights or more. Your rate is written in your contract.
Do you charge a fee in a month with a loss?
No. The fee is a share of the month’s result: what your home earned minus that month’s running costs. If a month ends below zero, there is no fee and the balance carries into the next month.
