The set up
After we receive your application we can answer any questions you have and visit to take some notes (guests ask all sorts of questions before they book like where the washing machine is kept/how big is the desk/is there a cat/parking outside etc.) We can then set up your photo page (£25) for your approval.

Arranging stays
As enquiries come in we offer you any suitable candidates and you let us know if interested. Then we can arrange a viewing or guests coming from afar book after seeing your photo page. The booking confirmations are all done by email, complete with contact details, payment instructions and directions for travel ...and you take it from there!
Becoming a Host
Do you like people? You can earn up to £7,500 per year (Tax Free) for letting a room in your own home!
How much will I receive?
Guests pay their whole rate directly to you. We don’t charge any admin fee to guests, and we don't charge a percentage of the rent, only a small introduction fee to the host after a booking is confirmed. This is £10 - £60 maximum, depending on the length of the booking.
You are never under obligation to accept any guest and if you want to keep your room free, just let us know!
