How StayFairly Works

A better way to book vacation rentals

Instead of scrolling through hundreds of listings, you describe your perfect trip and let hosts come to you with their best offer. No booking fees. No algorithms deciding what you see.

For Travelers

Post your trip. Get offers. Pick the best one.

It takes under 2 minutes to describe what you're looking for. Then sit back while hosts compete to win your stay.

1

Describe your trip

Where are you headed? When? How many guests? What amenities matter most? Set your total budget and any special requests.

  • Pick from 60+ destinations or type your own
  • Exact dates or flexible ("5 nights in September")
  • Set a total trip budget — hosts see what you want to spend
2

Receive offers from hosts

Vacation rental hosts browse your request and send personalized offers. Each includes photos, pricing, amenities, and a direct link to their listing.

  • Get multiple offers to compare side by side
  • Hosts include a personal message explaining why their place fits
  • You control when offers stop — set your own deadline
3

Pick your favorite and book

Review the offers, check the host's Airbnb or VRBO listing for reviews, and choose the one that fits. Book directly with the host — StayFairly never charges a booking fee.

  • No booking fees — ever. You deal directly with the host
  • Check reviews on Airbnb, VRBO, or Booking.com before you commit
  • Your budget and details stay private until you accept an offer

For Hosts

Fill your empty weeks with real guests.

Don't lose money on vacant nights. Travelers have already told us where they want to go, when, and their budget. You just send an offer.

1

Browse real trip requests

See exactly what travelers are looking for — destination, dates, guest count, budget, and desired amenities. No guessing.

  • Filter by destination, check-in date, budget, or guest count
  • Each request shows the traveler's full wish list
  • New requests posted daily across 60+ destinations
2

Send your best offer

Found a request that fits your property? Send an offer with your nightly rate, a description, photos, and a link to your listing. Add a personal note to stand out.

  • Include your Airbnb, VRBO, or Booking.com listing link
  • Highlight the amenities that match what they asked for
  • A personal message goes a long way — explain why your place is the one
3

Get booked. Keep every dollar.

If the traveler picks your offer, they book directly with you through your existing listing platform. StayFairly never takes a commission or inserts itself into the payment.

  • Zero commission — no percentage of the booking, ever
  • Traveler books through your Airbnb/VRBO/Booking.com listing
  • Free during beta — no membership fees to get started

Why StayFairly
