Can I offer my space for free?

Yes. This is particularly useful if you live in accommodation that prohibits you from subletting for profit (for example a housing association or student halls).


Hosts can also charge a price per night for each guest. We’ve structured it this way because:

  1. A financial transaction, even a small one of £1 a night, helps both guests and hosts stay committed and discourages last minute no-shows or cancellations.

  2. We want to encourage those on low income to host who may struggle with additional hosting costs, i.e. electricity.

  3. A bank transaction between guest and host helps verify the host’s profile, strengthening the overall safety of the platform.


To ensure that the Network is not used solely for the purpose of making money, there’s a limit on what hosts can charge per night - currently set at £10 for a shared space, £20 for a private room, and £50 for a whole flat.
