Become a host

We mainly let apartments and houses in Basel. Homes in the nearby surrounding area — for example Allschwil, Binningen, Bottmingen, Münchenstein or Riehen — can also be considered depending on the property, especially larger apartments and houses. The bathroom and toilet must be inside the accommodation. We do not take on apartments with a bathroom or toilet in the stairwell.

We generally let entire apartments and houses for the exclusive use of our guests. Exceptions are possible for a clearly separated area — for example a separate attic room, granny flat or your own floor with a private entrance and sufficient privacy.

Our guests are mainly international business travellers, companies, exhibitors and fair visitors coming to Basel for selected events.

Most guests stay 5–6 nights. The minimum and maximum length of stay is agreed with you individually.

We set the nightly price together with you, taking into account the location, size, fittings and the fair period in question. We can only give a concrete price estimate after seeing your home in person.

We photograph your home during our viewing appointment for the later listing. Ideally it is already furnished at that point much as it will be presented to guests. We then create the listing with photos, a description, the price and all important details and special features. Before we offer your home to our clients, you receive the listing to check and approve.

No. You decide for which fair periods your home is available. Availability is always agreed with you.

Preparing and pre-cleaning before arrival is generally up to you. You receive a checklist from us to prepare the home. The final cleaning is billed separately.

You decide. The final cleaning can be done either by our cleaning team or by you. If you do the final cleaning yourself, the cleaning fee we charge the client is paid out to you on top. We agree which option you prefer with you in advance.

If a letting comes about, we first inform you of the booking dates. As soon as the booking is definitively confirmed on our side, you receive the corresponding rental contract, which must be signed and returned to us.

Before arrival we share the relevant booking and arrival information with you again. You prepare the home using our checklist. During the stay we are available as a contact for both you and your guests.

The handling of damage is set out in the rental contract. Minor damage under CHF 100 is not passed on. Larger damage is reviewed case by case and settled accordingly.

No. For the first enquiry, 2–3 simple photos are enough for us to get a rough impression of your home. Nothing needs to be fully prepared or perfectly photographed yet. The actual photos for the listing are taken later at the personal viewing.

First we review your basic information and the photos you sent. If your home is a good fit for what we offer, we send you further information — for example our preparation checklist or a sample contract. We then arrange a personal viewing appointment. We photograph the home, discuss the details and set the price together with you. After that we create your listing. Only once you have approved it do we start marketing.

No. The first enquiry and viewing are non-binding. A binding agreement only comes about once a concrete booking is made and the corresponding rental contract is signed.
