Booking & payments

How do I book a place?
Pick your dates and guest count on a listing, click Reserve, and pay with any major card via Stripe. Some hosts auto-accept; others have 24 hours to confirm. You're only charged once confirmed.
What fees does room2let charge?
We charge a 3% guest service fee at checkout, and a 5% platform fee taken from the host's payout. Hosts also pay Stripe's processing fee (~1.5%–3% depending on card type). No hidden charges.
Can I cancel? Will I get a refund?
Yes. The refund amount depends on the listing's cancellation policy (flexible, moderate, strict). The breakdown is shown to you before you confirm a cancellation. Refunds typically reach your statement in 5–10 business days. See our cancellation policy.
Can I change the dates of a confirmed booking?
Yes. Open the trip and click Change dates. The host has to accept; until they do, your original dates stay confirmed.
When is the host's exact address shared?
Right after the host accepts your booking. Until then we show only the city and an approximate map pin.

Hosting

What do I need to start?
A property you're allowed to rent short-term, photos, a description, and a Stripe account so we can route payouts. We'll walk you through Stripe Connect; it takes about 5 minutes.
How do payouts work?
Stripe pays out to your IBAN 24 hours after each guest checks in (configurable). Our 5% fee is deducted on each booking; you keep 95% of the payout minus Stripe's processing fee.
Can I sync my calendar with Airbnb / Booking?
Yes — go to your listing's calendar page. We provide an iCal export URL you can paste into Airbnb / VRBO / Google, and an import URL field for their feed.
Can someone help me manage my listing?
Yes. From the listing's edit page, invite a co-host or cleaner by their room2let email. They'll see the listing in their host dashboard once they accept.

Trust & safety

Why can't I share my phone number in chat?
We redact phone numbers, emails, and messaging-app links until a booking is confirmed. This protects you from scams and keeps communications on-platform where we can help if anything goes wrong.
What if a host or guest behaves badly?
Use the Report button on the listing or message. We investigate and take action under our acceptable use policy.
