Pricing Guide

Set the right pricefor your space

Pricing can make or break your listing. This guide covers everything you need to set a competitive rate and maximize your earnings.

What affects your price

Location

Spaces in major city centers command higher rates. Proximity to transit, dining, and foot traffic all influence what guests will pay.

Space type

A fully-equipped photography studio justifies a higher rate than a basic meeting room. Specialized spaces earn more per hour.

Amenities

Wi-Fi, projectors, kitchen access, lighting equipment, and sound systems all add value. List every amenity to justify your rate.

Time of day

Peak hours (9am-5pm weekdays) often support premium pricing. Evenings and weekends may warrant different rates depending on demand.

Pricing strategies

Many hosts set different rates for weekdays and weekends. If your space caters to professionals (meeting rooms, coworking), weekdays may be peak. For creative and event spaces, weekends often command higher rates due to personal projects and celebrations.

Offering a 10-15% discount for bookings made 7+ days in advance can help you fill your calendar more predictably. Guests appreciate the savings, and you benefit from better planning and fewer last-minute gaps.

Consider offering a reduced per-hour rate for bookings of 4+ hours. This encourages longer sessions, reduces turnover time between guests, and increases your total revenue per booking.

Adjust your pricing based on seasonal demand. For example, event spaces may peak during holiday season (November-December), while coworking spaces see higher demand in January and September. Review your booking data quarterly.
