Frequently Asked Questions
What is the Plum Guide?
How are you different from other platforms like Airbnb?
We specialize in selling to guests who don’t use mainstream platforms to book homestays. Our guests are more affluent and mature, with an average age of 55. This results in higher value bookings with a greater length of stay.
Who can be a Plum Guide host?
Every home on Plum Guide has been tested by a home critic against 150 different criteria. If your home passes you could become a host on Plum Guide.
What is the Plum Test?
The Plum Test has been formulated by a team of hospitality experts. Our Home Critics test your home against 150 different criteria and gather more than 500 data points. This gives our guest confidence they will have an exceptional experience.
How much does it cost to list my home?
It is free to list your home on Plum Guide. If your home passes the Plum test, our team will build your listing for you and set your home live.
How much should I charge for my listing?
Your pricing decisions are up to you. If you are unsure, we would recommend looking at similarly sized properties in the area and using these as guidelines.
What are Plum Guide’s fees?
Once you receive a reservation, we charge a Plum Guide service fee for individual hosts of 3% of the total accommodation charges plus any applicable sales tax. We also charge a one-time membership fee only due on your first Plum Guide check-in. This is a flat fee of £300 / US$400 plus applicable sales taxes.
