Booking fees
Exactly what you pay, and when.
What does BrowseStay cost an owner?
Nothing to start. There is no upfront cost, no subscription and no setup fee. BrowseStay charges a 5% host fee only when a direct booking is completed through a link we surfaced. If nobody books, you pay nothing.
When exactly am I charged the host fee?
The 5% host fee applies only to a completed direct booking that came through BrowseStay. It never applies to your Airbnb, Vrbo or Booking.com reservations, and never to bookings that arrived through your own marketing.
Do guests pay a BrowseStay fee?
No. Guests pay the owner’s own price on the owner’s own site. BrowseStay adds nothing to what a guest pays.
How does that compare to an OTA?
Booking platforms typically take somewhere in the region of 14–16% once host and guest service fees are combined. BrowseStay charges a 5% host fee and nothing to the guest. Your exact platform rate depends on your plan, so check your own statements rather than relying on an average.
Are there any other charges?
No. No listing fee, no subscription, no per-property charge, no setup cost, and no charge for removing your listings. The host fee on completed direct bookings is the only way BrowseStay earns.
