Questions
Travelers
How do I book a stay?
Each listing links to the owner’s own booking site. You book and pay there, with the owner. Guest2Host never takes a booking or a payment.
Why book direct instead of on Airbnb or Vrbo?
The big platforms add 15% or more to each booking. Booking on the owner’s site skips that, so owners can offer a lower rate. Compare the same dates on both.
Is the availability accurate?
It comes from the owner’s own calendars and updates about every 30 minutes. Always confirm your dates on the owner’s site before you pay.
What does the “from” price mean?
It’s the owner’s lowest nightly rate. The total for your dates, including any cleaning fee and taxes, is shown on the owner’s site.
Does Guest2Host check the listings?
No. Owners list their own homes and are responsible for what the listing says. Read the owner’s terms, pay with a credit card, and if the home is also on Airbnb or Vrbo, read its reviews there.
Who handles cancellations and problems during a stay?
The owner. Their cancellation policy and contact details are on their booking site.
Can my AI assistant search Guest2Host?
Yes. Claude, ChatGPT, Grok and other assistants can search stays, check dates and ask owners questions through the Guest2Host connector. See guest2host.com/assistants.
Owners
What does it cost to list?
Nothing. Listing is free and Guest2Host takes 0% of your bookings. We make money on optional services, like building a booking site for owners who don’t have one.
What do I need?
A home you rent out and a booking site where guests can book you directly — your own, or one we build for you. An Airbnb or Vrbo listing is optional.
How do I get listed?
Apply at guest2host.com/list-your-property (or ask your AI assistant to apply for you). Once approved you get a sign-in, and your listing goes live as soon as you publish it.
Who keeps my listing up to date?
You do, from your dashboard or through your own AI assistant: photos, prices, your Airbnb/Vrbo rating and house rules. Changes go live within a minute.
How does my calendar stay current?
Paste your Airbnb or Vrbo calendar (iCal) links into your dashboard. We read them about every 30 minutes and show your booked dates. We never change your calendars.
How do I know Guest2Host is sending me guests?
Your dashboard and monthly email show how many travelers Guest2Host sent to your booking site, and how many came from AI assistants. Those visits arrive tagged utm_source=guest2host in your own analytics.
