A calculation example
The fee is calculated on the amount remaining after both deductions:
- Total booking amount: €1,000, including cleaning.
- Platform fees: €120.
- Cleaning charge: €80.
- Net calculation base: €1,000 − €120 − €80 = €800.
- Hostions fee: €800 × 14% = €112.
These amounts are illustrative. We do not calculate our fee on platform fees or the cleaning charge.
Booking payouts and monthly fees
Airbnb, Vrbo and Booking.com pay booking proceeds directly to you, according to each platform's process. Hostions does not retain your proceeds.
The management fee is paid in one payment at the close of each calendar month.
You receive detailed updates and monthly reports showing the source of each booking, proceeds and charges. Management, cleaning and approved additional work are shown separately.
How cleaning is paid
The guest covers cleaning through the relevant charge in the booking. The platform pays this amount to you with the booking payout.
The corresponding cost is charged to your card 3 days before the scheduled cleaning work, to secure the cleaning team's availability.
Hostions organises cleaning. We clarify the service scope and agree the linen arrangements and price for each property before we start.
What management includes
- Listing creation and optimisation.
- Dynamic pricing and price monitoring.
- Channel and availability coordination.
- Guest communication and 24/7 support.
- Booking and house-rule checks.
- Arrival and access arrangements.
- Cleaning and linen coordination.
- Recording needs and coordinating maintenance.
The fee covers management and coordination. Cleaning costs and additional work are separate.
We monitor performance and adjust prices to demand, availability and your property's needs.
Additional work with your approval
Repairs, maintenance and deep cleaning require a separate quote. For consumables, we agree the items and a cost limit in advance; replenishment within that limit does not need fresh approval.
You know the cost first. Once you approve the quote, we organise the work and charge the agreed amount to your card 3 days before the scheduled work. Other agreed services follow the same payment timing.
