Creating a listing

What you need and how to set the location accurately.

For hosts

Choose Become a host, then + New listing. You will need:

  • A title and description.
  • Nightly price, and a cleaning fee if you charge one.
  • Capacity — guests, bedrooms, beds, bathrooms.
  • Photos. JPEG, PNG or WebP, up to 5 MB each.
  • A location pin.

Setting the location

You have four ways, and you can combine them:

  1. Type an area in the search box and pick a suggestion.
  2. Tap 📍 to use your current location.
  3. Click anywhere on the map.
  4. Drag the pin to fine-tune the exact spot.

The address under the map tells you where the pin actually is — check it before publishing. Search will get you to the right neighbourhood; dragging gets you to the right building.

Set guest capacity honestly. A listing that sleeps two should say two — overstating it leads to cancellations and poor reviews.
