Preferred guests
The majority of our guests are mature, with an average age of 55 and household income of £140k (USD$175k).
More profitable bookings
Our guests prefer longer bookings (2x the length of mainstream platforms), which results in improved margins by reducing your changeover costs.

“Plum guests appear to be a cut above the rest. Plum's attention to detail when onboarding the property has paid dividends later on. The property is accurately described so guests' expectations are always met.”

The Plum Test has been formulated by a team of hospitality experts. Our Home Critics consider 150 different criteria and gather more than 500 data points. This gives our guest confidence they will have a great experience.
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.
