How Hostshare works

Your listing pays for
the trips you take.

That's it — hosts travel using the nights their listing earns. No nightly rates, ever.

Start free — your first 2 nights are waiting.

Earning travel

Every shared night earns travel.

One earned night books a stay anywhere on the network. How fast you earn depends on your listing's value — premium listings earn quickly, while modest ones may take a few shared nights to earn one. Here's what that looks like across three different listings.

Higher-demand listings fund travel faster.

How quickly your balance builds depends on your listing's value — premium listings earn faster, while modest ones may take a few shared nights to earn one. But once earned, one earned night books one night anywhere.

What a booking costs

The same trip, priced two ways.
