Frequently asked questions

Safety & resolution

Every host is ID-verified before they can offer services. If something goes wrong on a trip β€” the place isn't as described, a safety concern, or a payment issue β€” open a case and Hoy will step in to help resolve it, including refunds where warranted.

How hosting on Hoy works

Everything you need to know before you start β€” and the agreement you'll sign.

Good to know

Your host agreement

Before you can host, please read and accept each policy below. Tap Read to open the full text, then tick the box to sign. Your signature is recorded with the date and time.

How Hoy works

A quick guide for guests and hosts.

1
Find a place

On Homes, search by city and pick your dates and number of guests. Tap any listing to see photos, what's included, the house rules, and the host's profile and reviews.

2
Book it

Some listings are Instant Book β€” they confirm right away. Others are Request to book, where the host has 24 hours to accept. You pay securely by card when you book, and Hoy holds the money safely until your stay.

3
Message your host

A private chat opens once your booking is confirmed (or once the host accepts your request). That's where you share your arrival time and ask questions. Messaging stays closed before then β€” it keeps everyone safe and on Hoy.

4
Experiences & Services

Same idea: pick an experience (a tour, a meal, a class) or a service (chef, photographer, henna, tutoring, cleaning), choose a date and how many people, and book. You meet the host at the spot, or they come to you.

5
Check in & enjoy

We send a reminder 24 hours before. Your check-in details show up in your chat with the host.

6
Leave a review

After your stay or service, you can review the host. Reviews come only from people who actually booked, so they're real.

7
Changes & cancellations

Free cancellation within 24 hours of booking. After that, refunds follow the cancellation policy shown at checkout.

Messages

Chat with your hosts and guests.

πŸ”’ Keep chats on Hoy β€” phone numbers & emails are removed for everyone's safety.
