Simply by listing your property on Hostshare, you can now stay at other properties for just the cleaning fee. No membership required until your next stay. We believe so strongly in the value of our platform that we've removed the time limit on trials. It's our way of letting you experience the full benefits before deciding to subscribe. Below, you'll find a detailed list of all the updates in this release:

  • Simplified Listing Submission:
    We've refined the process to submit your listing for review. We removed almost 8 steps in our onboarding process from the signup to submitting the listing for review. Immediately after submission, you'll be guided through the necessary steps to ensure your listing meets Hostshare’s standards, helping you go live smoothly and quickly.
