One simple, all-in fee on every booking — and your credits are designed to cover it. Here's exactly how it works.
On Hostshare there are no nightly rates. Instead, every booking has one straightforward service fee: 15% of the comparable Airbnb price for the same property and dates.
What the service fee covers
The service fee is a single, all-in charge with nothing hidden behind it. It covers:
The cost of running and maintaining the platform
Payment processing
Up to $50,000 in damage protection on every booking
There are no separate processing fees, protection fees, or hidden line items — it's all rolled into the one service fee.
How it's calculated
The service fee is always 15% of the comparable Airbnb price — meaning what the same property would cost for the same dates if booked on Airbnb, including that platform's nightly rate and fees. Because it's a percentage of the comparable price, the fee scales naturally with the value of the stay.
An example
Credits cover the service fee
Your credits apply directly to the service fee at checkout — automatically, with no codes or manual steps. Credits can only be applied to the service fee, never to the cleaning fee. For members with a healthy credits balance, the service fee is often reduced all the way to $0.
The bottom line: instead of paying full nightly rates, you pay a 15% service fee that keeps the platform running and every stay protected — and your credits are built to cover it. For most members, the only real out-of-pocket cost of a stay is the host's cleaning fee.
