Pricing

18 or 21 percent. Nothing else.

We only earn when your apartment is booked. In Switzerland 15 to 25 percent is usual, depending on services and the basis of calculation. We say openly what our percentage is charged on.

Basic
18 %of nightly revenue

For owners nearby who organise cleaning and keys themselves.

  • Listing, copy and photo selection

    We write the listing in German and English, and on request in French, Italian and Spanish, select the best photos and order them so the apartment stands out in search. New professional photos can be arranged at a fixed price on request.

  • Airbnb and Booking.com

    Your apartment appears on both platforms with one shared calendar. No double bookings, and you reach more guests.

  • Prices adjusted daily

    We adjust prices every day to season, school holidays, events and demand. In busy weeks the price goes up, in quiet times we prevent vacancy.

  • Guest support around the clock

    We answer every enquiry before, during and after the stay, evenings and weekends included. You are only contacted in a real emergency.

  • Monthly report with all bookings

    At the end of each month you receive an overview of all bookings, income and our commission. It also gives you the receipts for your tax return.

  • You organise cleaning, laundry and check-in

    You hire and pay your own cleaning team and handle the keys. After every booking we tell your team when cleaning is due.

21 %of nightly revenue

We run everything. You have one contact person and no work.

  • Everything in the Basic package

    Listing, pricing, round-the-clock guest support and monthly report are included.

  • Cleaning and laundry after every stay, we pay the cleaning team

    After every guest our team cleans the apartment and changes bed linen and towels. We pay the team and invoice the cleaning to you at cost at the end of the month. It is covered by the cleaning fee the guest pays.

  • Check-in with a key box or smart lock

    Guests arrive on their own, even late in the evening. Each guest gets their own code, no key handover needed.

  • Restocking supplies

    We keep toilet paper, soap, washing-up liquid, coffee and tea topped up. The costs are shown in the monthly report.

  • Small repairs up to an agreed amount

    A broken light bulb or a dripping tap: we fix small things right away up to the amount agreed with you. Anything above that only with your approval.

  • Inspection after every turnover, with photos

    After every clean we check the apartment against a checklist and take photos. We report damage immediately and claim it through the platform.

What we charge on

Nightly revenue after the platform fee. Not on the cleaning fee.

What costs nothing

No setup fee, no base fee, no minimum term. Cancel any time with 3 months' notice to the end of a month.

What is charged separately

Photos, equipment and furnishing at a fixed price we tell you in advance. Cleaning is covered by the cleaning fee the guest pays.

Worked example

One booking, calculated openly.

3 nights at CHF 240. Airbnb charges professional hosts a fee of around 15.5 percent. The guest pays the cleaning fee, which goes to the cleaning. The platform pays you directly, and we invoice our commission at the end of the month.

3 nights × CHF 240720.00
Platform fee 15.5 %− 111.60
Net nightly revenue608.40
Complete commission 21 %− 127.76
You keepCHF 480.64

The guest pays the cleaning fee on top. It goes to the cleaning and is not part of this calculation.

Your accounts stay yours. The platform pays you directly. We never hold owners' money.

Use it yourself any time. You block your own dates in the calendar. We plan around them.

FAQ

What owners ask us.

Your question isn't here? Write to us and we'll reply the same working day.

How much will I earn with my apartment?
That depends on location, size and equipment. The calculator above gives a first estimate. After a viewing we give you a range with all assumptions. We do not guarantee income.
What exactly are the 18 or 21 percent charged on?
On nightly revenue after the platform fee. The guest pays the cleaning fee on top, and we charge no commission on it. If the apartment is empty, you pay nothing.
Who pays for cleaning?
The guest. Every booking includes a cleaning fee that the platform pays out to you together with the nightly revenue. In the Complete package we pay the cleaning team and invoice the cleaning to you at the end of the month together with our commission, at cost and without commission. In the Basic package you organise and pay for cleaning yourself.
How long am I committed?
There is no minimum term. You can cancel at any time with 3 months' notice to the end of a month. Confirmed bookings are either completed or handed over in an orderly way.
What about insurance and damage?
Before we start, we check with you whether your building, contents and liability insurance covers short-term letting. We report damage to the platform with photos. In the Complete package we handle small repairs up to the agreed amount, anything above only after your approval.
Does the apartment have to be furnished?
Yes, guests expect a fully equipped apartment. If something is missing, we give you a list and a fixed-price quote. You decide what to buy yourself.
