How much does StayInBio cost?
−
€29 a month, flat. No commission, no per-booking fees, no hidden charges. The first 14 days are free and you don't need to enter a card to start.
Does StayInBio take a commission on bookings?
+
No. Unlike Airbnb's host-only fee (commonly around 15.5%, used for Plus listings, hotels, and strict cancellation policies), StayInBio never takes a percentage of your bookings. Whether you take one booking a month or fifty, you pay the same flat €29 and keep 100% of the revenue.
StayInBio calculates an estimated total and collects the booking request, but it doesn't process payment itself. You and the guest arrange the deposit and balance directly, on your own terms.
Do I need technical skills to set up my page?
+
No. Add your photos, description, and pricing through simple forms, and your page is live in minutes.
Can I keep using Airbnb and StayInBio together?
+
Yes. Most hosts run StayInBio alongside Airbnb, Vrbo, or Booking.com and sync calendars between them to avoid double bookings.
What happens to my existing calendar and bookings?
+
Connect your Airbnb, Vrbo, Booking.com, or Google calendar and StayInBio imports your existing bookings so those dates block out automatically. It also gives you your own calendar feed to add back on those platforms, so a booking made on StayInBio blocks the date everywhere else too.
Do guests need to create an account to book?
+
No. Guests fill in a booking request with their name, email, and phone number, no account or app download required.
What happens if I don't respond to a booking request?
+
You'll get a reminder email if a request has been waiting 48 hours. If it's still unanswered after 7 days, it automatically expires so guests aren't left hanging.
Is there a contract, or can I cancel anytime?
+
No contracts. StayInBio is billed monthly and you can cancel whenever you like.
