How our fees work
For Guests
We add a single 8% service fee on top of your booking subtotal (nightly rate × nights + cleaning fee if applicable). This is shown clearly before you confirm.
For Hosts
We deduct just 2% from your payout. You keep 98% of the booking subtotal. No listing fees, no subscription, no hidden charges.
* GST may apply to the platform fee portion depending on your registration status. We recommend consulting your tax adviser.
