Frequently asked questions
Who can host?
It’s easy to become a Smily host in Europe, and it’s always free to create a listing. Entire apartments and homes, villas, treehouses, and castles are just a few of the properties hosts have shared on Smily.
How much does it cost?
Signing up for Smily and listing your property is completely free. Once you receive a reservation, we charge a Smily service fee of 5% plus payment gateway fees, to help cover the cost of running the business. Such service is commonly provided by agencies between 15-20%.
What protection do I have against property damage?
Property owners can request damage deposits from guests. Deposits help cover any potential damage caused by a guest, offering some reassurance that your property will be treated respectfully. If anything goes wrong, it can be reported to our team through our misconduct reporting feature. We recommend that hosts secure or remove valuables when renting their space.
