Hosting Resources

Getting started

New to hosting? Start at Become a Host to accept the host agreement, then create your first listing from your dashboard.

Writing a great listing

• Use clear, well-lit photos that accurately represent your space
• Write an honest, detailed description — set expectations guests can rely on
• List all amenities accurately, including any Muslim-friendly features
• Set a fair price by comparing similar listings in your area

Managing bookings

Review and respond to booking requests from your host dashboard. Instant Book listings confirm automatically, while other listings let you approve or decline each request.

Cancellation policies

Choose a cancellation policy (flexible, moderate, strict, or non-refundable) when creating your listing. See Cancellation options for how each one affects guest refunds.

Protecting your property

Set a security deposit on your listing and read our Damage Cover page to understand how deposits and damage claims work.

Getting paid

Payouts are processed after a guest's stay is completed, once any post-stay review window has passed.
