In addition, you also have the option to activate extended marketing which allows you to also get bookings from other platforms and not just from Landfolk, which will give you more bookings without needing to manage several profiles.
We want to inspire people to visit holiday homes at all times of the year and tune into a new holiday home experience. We love to celebrate every single home on Landfolk and share them far and wide – and we love when you as a host help to tell others about your Landfolk holiday home.
We know that you yourself love being in your holiday home, because that is one of the characteristics of that Landfolk holiday home. Therefore, you also decide for yourself when you want to share your holiday home with others.
That said, we would like to bet that you will be bitten by the amazing feeling it is to experience the joy of others to be allowed to live in one's holiday home. We hear this again and again from our hosts, and we think that is one of the very best things about what we do. That we all love holiday home life and share that joy with each other.
Yes you are. You even have the option to market your holiday home on other platforms through Landfolk with our extended marketing plan. In that way, you can get more bookings without needing to manage several profiles. You're also free to market your holiday home on other platforms by yourself if you prefer. It's completely up to you, but we're here to support however we can.
It's free to set up and be on landfolk.com. It's only in the moment you welcome a guest that it costs you anything. Depending on which plan you're on, you pay a different host fee. If we take care of renting out your holiday home and communicating with your guests (Managed by Landfolk), you pay a 10% host fee. If you take care of everything yourself, we take a 5% host fee. In both cases, a guest fee is added to the guest's final price, as payment for our platform and services. The fees are not included VAT which will be added to both the host and the guest fee.
You always set the price for your holiday home yourself.
As a host, you decide for yourself what price you want to take to rent out your holiday home, but we are of course ready to help you. We believe that price is a dynamic quantity that depends on many things. With us, the price always includes final cleaning and consumption of water, heat and electricity.
We know that setting a price for your holiday home can be difficult. That is why we have that assists you in deciding on the basis price for your holiday home. We've also built a system that helps you set the prices according to seasons.
Once the price is set, Landfolk takes a 5% host fee from you as the host and adds a guest fee on top of the price that the guest has to pay to cover our costs.
When booking through Landfolk the price always includes consumption of water, heat and electricity (excluding EV-charging). That way, guests avoid being in doubt about what a holiday home trip is actually going to cost in the end. We’ve made it easy for you by splitting up the price in three sections: rental price, cleaning fee, and utility costs.
By working with an average price for the consumption at the coldest and warmest time of the year, it may be below the actual consumption some months and over other months, but ultimately cover your costs. We think this is a fair way to do it for both the guest and you as the host.
If you are the kind of person who always reads everything in fine print, you can find the terms and conditions for renting right here.
You can also always have a chat with someone from the Landfolk team, who will gladly explain how it all works.
