Pricing
15% of what we book you. Nothing else.
Booking.com and Airbnb take 15–18% of a room night and keep the guest. Steward takes 15% of the whole booking we bring you, weddings and weekends included, on your own domain, and the guest is yours. No setup fee, no monthly fee, no ad bill.
of a room night, and they keep the guest. Next year’s stay costs you the commission again.
of the whole booking we brought you, from the deposit. You keep the guest, the site, the balance and the next booking. Nothing else on the invoice, because there is no invoice.
The whole price list
Four lines. Three of them say “nothing”.
15% of every booking Steward makes
Taken from the deposit by Stripe at the moment it's paid, straight to your own Stripe account for the rest. If we didn't bring the booking, we take nothing.
We pay for the traffic
Google Ads to the pages we build you, at our cost, until they rank on their own. You never see an ad invoice.
Cancellations cost you nothing
Deposits are non-refundable. If the guest cancels, you keep the deposit less our fee. There is no clawback and no minimum.
No floor, no cap, no term
A quiet month costs you nothing. Switch us off from the dashboard any day; your site goes back to exactly how it was.

Every house
Your data, your Stripe, your domain.
Guests pay into your own Stripe account. Steward's share is split off by Stripe at the moment of payment; we never touch the rest. Leave whenever you like and the site is exactly as you left it.

Questions
The ones every owner asks.
- What counts towards the 15%?
- The total value of a booking made through a Steward page or button: rooms, exclusive use, venue fees and any add-ons paid through the booking. If the guest found you some other way and booked through your own site, that's yours.
- When do you actually get paid?
- When the deposit is paid. Stripe splits it: 15% of the whole booking to Steward, the rest to you. If a house takes a deposit smaller than 15%, the remainder comes off the next payment. Balances after that carry nothing.
- What if the guest cancels?
- Deposits are non-refundable, so you lose nothing: the deposit stays with you, our fee stays with us. We've already spent the money finding that guest.
- Do I have to change my website?
- No. You point your domain's nameservers at Steward (or paste one line of script) and choose what share of visitors see our booking flow. Everyone else sees your site exactly as it is. You can see both, side by side, in the dashboard.
- Who owns what?
- Your domain, your Stripe account, your guests and your bookings are yours at all times. The pages we build on your domain are ours while you're on Steward; leave and they come down, your site untouched.
- How long does it take?
- Sign up, connect Stripe, point the domain, choose your split. Within 24 hours you have booking pages on your own domain and traffic going to them.
- Is ad spend really free?
- It's ours to spend, not yours. We put money into Google Ads for your pages until they rank organically, and we only get it back when the pages book. That is the whole bet.
The comparison that matters
A marketplace takes 15% of a room night and keeps the guest. Steward takes 15% of the weekend it brought you, and the guest is yours for life.
