Book direct

The first listings are on their way

Hosts are getting their rooms ready. Check back soon, or ask your host for their link.

Why book direct

  • No service fee added

    openforstay adds nothing on top. You pay the host directly, by the way they offer: Zelle, check, and the like.

  • Every line up front

    The nightly rate, the cleaning fee and each tax, each on its own line, before you send a request.

  • A real agreement

    Your stay has a rental agreement you sign on your phone, kept with your booking so you can open it any time.

How booking works

  1. 1

    Request your dates

    Pick your nights and see the full quote. Send a request with a note to the host.

  2. 2

    The host approves

    Nothing is booked until they say yes. You hear back by email, with a private link to your booking.

  3. 3

    Sign, then pay the host

    Sign the rental agreement on your phone and pay the host the way they describe.

  4. 4

    Get your check-in details

    The door code and house notes appear on your booking link once you're paid up.
