What to include in a standout Germantown listing

• Clear, well-lit photos: Show the whole pool, close-ups of steps, depth markers, and any special features (spa, heater, slide). Great photos boost bookings.
• Accurate availability and honest rules: Post the hours you truly want to host and any restrictions (no glass, max swimmers, lifeguard requirements).
• Highlight conveniences: On-site parking, outdoor seating, restrooms, shade, or a grill make your listing more attractive.
• Safety details: Pool fence, alarm, safety equipment, and whether you require a lifeguard — guests appreciate clarity.

Pricing tips for Germantown hosts

• Base your hourly rate on pool type and amenities: heated, indoor, or unique features deserve higher rates.
• Weekday vs. weekend: Weekends and holidays typically command premium pricing. Consider offering lower weekday rates to increase utilization.
• Cleaning and preparation: If you prefer a buffer between bookings for cleaning or setup, block those times on your calendar to avoid overlap.
• Use the Earnings Calculator to model different rates and availability so you can set a plan that meets your goals.

Safety, insurance, and the 10% host fee

Hosting should be rewarding, and safety is our priority. Each booking automatically includes $2M in liability coverage — that applies when you accept a booking through the platform. We also keep things transparent with a 10% flat host fee, which covers payment processing, insurance facilitation, customer support, and marketing to drive guests to your listing. You keep the rest.

The hosting experience — what to expect

• Flexible schedule: Host a few hours a week or open whole days — your calendar is yours.
• Simple payouts: We handle guest payments and deliver payouts on a regular schedule to your account.
