Hosting on Lodge
List your homestay. Keep your full rate.
Lodge charges guests a 10% service fee. Hosts pay 0%. Set your offline price, list it as-is, and we handle payments, calendar sync, and weekly-monthly discounts.
- Zero host commission — keep every rupiah a guest pays you
- Weekly and monthly rate tools built into every listing
- Stripe payouts straight to your Indonesian bank
No listing fee. No monthly fee. Free to leave whenever you want.
Why hosts switch
The booking platform that takes the OTA cut out of the loop.
Lodge was built for the kind of stay homestays do best — a week, a month, a season. We handle the booking plumbing; you keep being a host.
0% commission, full stop.
Lodge charges the guest a 10% service fee. Hosts pay nothing — no listing fee, no booking fee, no payout fee. The rate you set is the rate you keep.
Priced for stays of a week or more.
Every listing carries weekly and monthly tiers next to the nightly rate — usually 10–25% off. Long stays fill empty weeks and cut your turnover work.
Stripe to your bank, after check-in.
Guests pay through Stripe. Once they check in, your funds are eligible for payout to your Indonesian bank account. No platform wallet, no holding period games.
You stay in control.
Approve every booking before it confirms. Your name and number land in the guest's inbox — talk to the person staying in your home.
How it works

From first email to a live listing — no sales call required.

Tell us about your place.
Send photos, room counts, and the offline rate you already charge walk-ins. Takes about 15 minutes — there's no listing fee.

We publish it at your price.
Your nightly rate stays untouched. We add the weekly and monthly discount tiers and translate prices into the guest's local currency at live FX rates.

Once your guest arrives, the payout releases. Most hosts see funds in their bank within the week.

Questions hosts ask
The short answers.
Anything we missed? Email info@lodgevacations.com and we'll reply within a day.
Do I have to leave Airbnb or Booking.com?+
No. Most Lodge hosts list everywhere. iCal sync keeps your calendar in lockstep across every platform, so you can run Lodge alongside what you already use.
What does it actually cost me?+
Nothing. Listing is free. There are no monthly fees, no per-photo fees, no payout fees. Lodge earns its 10% from the guest side of the transaction — never from you.
When do I get paid?+
Stripe holds the charge until your guest checks in. After check-in, the booking becomes eligible for payout, and we transfer funds to your bank — typically within a week.
Who handles guest questions?+
You do. Lodge is the booking layer, not a concierge. Every guest gets your name, your number, and your email at confirmation. Talk to them the way you'd talk to any walk-in guest.
What if a guest cancels?+
Refunds run through Stripe automatically against the cancellation policy you picked at listing. No paperwork, no chasing, no surprises.
