For Hosts
Create Your Listing
Add photos, set your price, describe your space. It takes about 15 minutes. You control availability, house rules, and booking requirements.
Receive Requests
Guests will message you or book instantly (your choice). Review booking requests, ask questions, and accept the ones that are a good fit.
Get Paid
Payments are processed securely through Holdaspot. You get paid within 48 hours of the event. We handle the payment processing so you don't have to.
Common Questions
What happens if I need to cancel?
Each venue sets their own cancellation policy. Most offer full refunds if you cancel 48-72 hours before the event. Check the listing details before booking.
Is there a booking fee?
Holdaspot charges a small service fee (usually 8-12% depending on the booking) that covers payment processing, customer support, and our host guarantee.
Can I visit the space before booking?
Some hosts offer tours -- just message them through the platform. Many listings also have detailed photos and virtual walkthroughs.
What's covered by the host guarantee?
If a host cancels last-minute or the space doesn't match the listing, we'll help you find an alternative or issue a full refund. We've got your back.
