Why list with us
Keep the money you've earned.
Big booking sites take a big slice of every stay. We don't take any. And we're more than a listing: we help you fill the gaps, get shared and get found, then guests book with you direct.
Early listings are free forever. No catch, no card details.
Wherever you are
Cottages in the Lakes, flats in the city, lodges in the Highlands. If guests want to stay there, you can list it here.
What commission costs you
Airbnb now takes 15.5% from most hosts, and booking sites commonly charge around 15% commission. Move the slider to your yearly bookings.

How it compares
| Big booking sites | Available Now Stays | |

| Commission on each booking | Usually around 15% | None |
| Guest booking fees | Sometimes | None |
| You talk to the guest before they book | Through their messages only | Phone, WhatsApp, email or message |
| Who holds the guest's money | The booking site | You |

| Link to your own website | No | Yes |
Booking sites bring a lot of guests and handle payments for you, and many owners use both. Listing here sits alongside them: link your calendar and your availability stays in step.
Honest answers
- What's the catch with free forever?
- There isn't one. We need listings before we can bring guests, so early owners list free for as long as they stay with us. Owners who join later will pay a monthly fee, still with no commission.
- Do you take bookings or payments?
- No. Guests contact you and you book them in however you do now. That's what keeps it commission-free.
- How do guests find you?
- Through search on the site and app, the Available now section on our homepage, area guides, our social media posts and the links you share. Every share helps everyone listed.
- How long does it take?
- A few minutes to get started. Add photos, your calendar and contact details whenever you're ready. We check every listing before it goes live.
