2. Hosting Terms

SanBnB offers you the opportunity to share your Staycation, Experience, Events, Hotels or other Hosted Services with local & international guests. Every host shall be verified by the Sanbnb team before they can start hosting and a verification badge shall be displayed on your profile.

Sanbnb will charge a service fee of 5% to hosts on every successful booking.

Sanbnb will charge the guests a 10% service fee of the total booking fee.

Contracting with Guests. When you accept a booking request, or receive a booking confirmation through the SanBnB Platform, you are entering into a contract directly with the Guest, and are responsible for delivering your Host Service under the terms and at the price specified in your Listing. Hosts who would like to hire Sanbnb to manage their spaces, hotels, tours or events will pay a service fee; from 15% of the booking fee. SanBnB will auto-deduct the fees you owe from your payout unless sanbnb and you agree to a different method. Any terms, policies or conditions that you include in any agreement or contract with Guests must:

Be consistent with these Terms & our Policies.
Be the information provided in your Listing.
Be prominently disclosed in your Listing description.

Hosts vs SanBnB. Your relationship with SanBnB is that of an agent, partner or entity and not an employee or joint venturer of SanBnB, except that SanBnB Checkout acts as a payment collection point as described in the Payments Terms. SanBnB does not direct or control your Host Service, and you agree that you have complete discretion whether and when to provide Host Services, and at what price and on what terms to offer them.

Hosts must always ensure that guests are booking via sanbnb platform to increase their ratings, protect their business and as well maintain a mutual partnership with sanbnb.

Hosts who encourage their guests to book offline or apply other practices against our terms and local laws would risk a permanent termination of their sanbnb accounts.

3. Hosting Requirements

To help create comfortable, reliable stays for guests, we ask all Hosts to meet these requirements for each of their listings:

Be responsive: Keep your response rate high by replying to inquiries and Booking Requests within 24 hours
Accept booking requests: Make guests feel welcome by accepting requests whenever you’re available
Avoid declining on guests: Declining equates to cancelation, try to avoid them; they’re a huge inconvenience
Maintain a high overall rating: Guests expect a consistent level of quality, no matter where they book

As a measure to improve on host & customer experience, we track Host performance against the above requirements. Places with bad reviews or experiences as per guest reviews could be subject to penalties or termination.

Host with overall good perfomance will earn a SUPERHOST badge that will let the guests and other hosts know that you’re outstanding.

Essential amenities

We strongly encourage you to provide Essential Amenities in all the spaces you list in SanBnB; these include electricity, water, security, habitable shelter and not limited to items that guests consider important for a comfortable stay and include toilet paper, towels, linens, pillows, and hand and body soap. If you can’t meet these basic amenities, then you’re not a host and we shall definitely terminate your account.

Payouts

When a guest reserves a staycation, all the payments including security deposit are collected by sanbnb team and will be available for payout upon request usually within 24hrs after boarding. If the guest had deposited the security fee with the host, he/she is required to initiate a payout process via the sanbnb dashboard upon check out. Same applies to the Host; you’ll need to request for payouts via the dashboard.

Note: for Paypal payouts you’re only required to submit a valid Paypal email.

4. What’s expected of Hosts and their stays

Every Host should meet these basic standards so that their guests have a comfortable, reliable experience.

Hosting without permission and/or the appropriate licenses: SanBnB requires that all Hosts be authorized to host, and that Hosts comply with all applicable laws.
Reliable communication: Hosts should be responsive and willing to answer questions within a reasonable amount of time from guests or SanBnB support centre and follow any necessary steps from SanBnB to fix issues.
Accurate listings: A Host’s property, location, listing type, privacy levels, and amenities should accurately reflect what was written in the listing description at the time of booking. Hosts may only adjust details for an accepted booking after guest consent.
Secure stays: Hosts must ensure that every stay is able to be secured at the main entrance, and keys or access codes should be provided for all main points of entry.
Reliable check-ins: Hosts must provide guests with the right information to access their stay at check-in (Proper access codes, clear directions). Hosts that plan to meet guests at check-in must ensure that they’re present at the agreed time. The use of lockboxes or entry codes must remain secure; change codes in between reservations.
Clean stays: The space must be free of known health hazards e.g. pests, meet a high standard of cleanliness, and be cleaned between stays.
Safe stays: Hosts must ensure that stays or Experiences are free of undisclosed safety hazards e.g. risks of electric shock. Hosts must immediately remedy any safety hazards if they are raised by a guest or SanBnB.
Arbitrage: Using a 3rd party to book a space or place or 3rd party accommodation and listing it on SanBnB at an inflated rate, is not allowed. Hosts must adhere to specific rules for timeshares or similar accommodation types when considering whether or not to list on SanBnB.

5. Why was my listing paused or suspended?

Your listings may be suspended if you fail to meet the basic requirements; overall rating, response rate, accepted reservations, or cancellations. If your listing is suspended, it won’t show up in search results and you won’t receive any new bookings.

You’ll have the opportunity to reactivate your listing once the suspension period is over, subject to a review by SanBnB. Serious infractions could lead to permanent termination of your account.

6. Why was my listing deactivated?

To make sure guests aren’t contacting you because you’re unable to host and maintain the required response rate for your listing. In a summary;

If you let 4 consecutive reservation requests or booking inquiries expire
If you decline consecutive booking requests or inquiries over an extended period of time
If you consistently take more than 7 days to pre-approve an inquiry

Reactivate your listing

If your listing is temporarily deactivated, you’ll receive an email with instructions on how to reactivate it. You can also reactivate your listing at anytime from your dashboard. It may take up to an hour for your listing to appear in search results after it has been reactivated.

7. How to become a Superhost

Our top-performing Hosts are called Superhosts. Their listings feature a special badge that lets everyone know they’re extra awesome.

7.1 How it works

Every quarter, we evaluate your hosting performance over the past 12 months for all the listings on your account. (However, you didn’t have to host for the entire 12 months to qualify.) Each quarterly assessment is a 5-day period beginning on:

January 15th
April 15th
July 15th
October 15th

If you meet the program requirements by the assessment date, you’ll automatically become a Superhost—no need to apply. We’ll notify you of your performance status at the end of each assessment period. It may take up to 1 week for your Superhost badge to show up on your listing.

7.2 Requirements

To qualify, you must be a primary Host with a SanBnB account in good standing and has met the following criteria:

Completed at least 10 bookings that total at least 90 nights
Maintained a 90% response rate or higher
Maintained a 1% cancellation rate (1 cancellation per 100 reservations) or lower, with exceptions made for those that fall under our Extenuating Circumstances policy.
Maintained a 4.8 overall rating (based on the date the guest left a review, not the date they checked out, over the past 365 days.

8. Hosting as a team

If you work with a co-host or host as part of a team, business, or other organization, the entity and each individual who participates in providing Host Services is responsible and liable as a Host under these Terms. If you accept terms or enter into contracts, you represent and warrant that you are authorized to enter into contracts for and bind your team, business or other organization, and that each entity you use is in good standing under the laws of the place where it is established. If you perform other functions, you represent and warrant that you are authorized to perform those functions. If you instruct SanBnB to transfer a portion of your payout to a co-host or other Hosts, or to send payments to someone else, you must be authorized to do so, and are responsible and liable for the payment amounts and accuracy of any payout information you provide.

9. Risk Disclaimer

You (the Host) acknowledge that hosting guests carries unforeseen risks and agree that you assume the entire risk arising out of your access to and use of the SanBnB Platform, offering Host Services, or any interaction you have with other Members whether in person or online. You agree that you have had the opportunity to investigate the SanBnB Platform and any laws, rules, regulations, or obligations that may be applicable to your Listings or Host Services and that you are not relying upon any statement of law made by SanBnB.

10. Guest Terms

We’re the experience that every guest and host would appreciate to be associated with. Over the years, we’ve improved the SanBnB platform to allow our guests browse millions of listings easily. If you need to book your next stay, browse through our listings; full details, reviews & policies of the space or listing are well outlined for you. You can even explore the host profile and reviews from verified guests. If you need more information regarding the space, you can easily chat with the host. Go ahead and book confidently.

11. Search & Booking

Searching. You can search for Host Services by using criteria like the travel destination, travel dates, and number of guests. You can also activate filters to use advanced criteria in your search results. Search results are based on their relevance to your search and other criteria. Relevance considers factors like price, availability, Property type, and more.

Booking. When you book a Listing, you are agreeing to pay all charges for your booking including the Listing price, SanBnB Service fees, Tax fee and any other items identified during checkout (collectively, “Total Price”). You are also agreeing that SanBnB Payments may charge and collect any Security Deposits identified during checkout. When you receive the booking confirmation, a contract for Host Services (sometimes called a reservation in these Terms) is formed directly between you and the Host. The cancellation policy and any other rules, policies, or requirements identified in the Listing or during checkout, form part of your contract with the Host. Be aware that some Hosts work with a co-host or as part of a team to provide their Host Services so be sure to understand their terms before booking.

12. Reservations for Experiences

Reservations for Experiences and Other Host Services. Hosts usually indicate if they’re offering experiences to guests when posting their listings. SanBnB platforms allows registered Hosts to list tours, cultural activities, game drives or hikings as experiences. When booking, guests will have an option to select & pick extra services or addons and pay for the same during checkout. Host Service reservation entitles you to participate in, attend, or use that Host Service. Guests are responsible for confirming that they, and anyone they invite, meet minimum age, proficiency, fitness, or other requirements. They’re responsible for informing the Host of any medical or physical conditions, or other circumstances that may impact their ability to participate, attend, or use the Host Service. Except where expressly authorized, you may not allow any person to participate or join a Host Service unless they are included as an additional guest during the booking process.

13. Cancellations & Refunds

Cancellations, Travel Issues, and Refunds. In general, if as a Guest you cancel a reservation, the amount refunded to you is determined by the Cancellation policy that applies to that reservation. But, in certain situations, other policies take precedence and determine what amount is refunded to you. If something outside your control forces you to cancel a reservation, you may be eligible for a partial or full refund under our Extenuating & Pandemics Policy. If the Host cancels, or you experience a Travel Issue (as defined in our Guest Refund Policy), you may be eligible for rebooking assistance or a partial or full refund.

Note: Full refund refers to the guests’ nightly rate plus security deposit if any.

13.1 Cancelation Policies;

Sometimes, Unforeseen situations come up and guests have to cancel in the middle of the stay. To avoid confusion hosts should always indicate the cancellation policy in the listing details.

If no cancellation policies indicated in the listing description, the below SanBnB cancellation policies shall be applied;

a. Short term Policy
Guests who willingly wants to cancel a reservation can do so 24hr before check in time for a full refund.

b. Long term Policy
This policy applies to all stays of 28 days or longer

To receive a full refund, guests must cancel within 48 hours of booking, and the cancellation must occur at least 28 days before check-in
If a guest cancels after that, you’ll be paid 100% for all nights spent, plus 30 additional nights
If fewer than 30 days remain on the reservation when the guest cancels, you’ll be paid 100% for all of those remaining nights.

c. Extenuating or pandemics Policy

If a booking is affected by natural or unforeseen occurrences such as COVID-19, Government restrictions, terror attacks, Military coups or Hostility, volcanoes or any other pandemic categorized as a Natural disaster, SanBnB shall immediately evict the guest/s to safer accommodation or a partial or full refund of the remaining stays goes to the guest.

If you report a Travel Issue up to 24 hours after check-in, we agree, at our discretion, to either reimburse you the amount paid by you through the SanBnB Platform, or offer you an alternative accommodation for the rest of the remaining stay which is reasonably equal to or better than the Accommodation with the Travel issues. SanBnB shall clearly evaluate if an issue reported by a Guest qualifies as a Travel Issue, whether to refund or offer alternative accommodation to a Guest who suffers a Travel Issue.

More than 24 hours after check-in. If you report a Travel Issue more than 24 hours after check-in, we agree, at our discretion, to either reimburse you up to the Total Fees depending on the nature of the Travel Issue suffered, or assist you to rebook another Staycation or accommodation for any unused nights left in your booking which is reasonably equal to or closer to the Accommodation described in your original booking in terms of size, rooms, features and quality.

13.5 Host Responsibilities & Reimbursements

a.) If you are a Host, you are responsible for ensuring that the Staycations or services you list on our Platform are accessible, adequately and accurately described in the Listing description, safe and clean, and will not cause Travel Issues in any way.

You authorize SanBnB Payments to collect any amounts owed to SanBnB by reducing your Payout or as otherwise permitted pursuant to the Payments Terms.

If you dispute the Travel Issue, you may contact our reservation team or via telephone and provide us with information (including photographs or other evidence) disputing the claims regarding the Travel Issue. In order to dispute a Travel Issue, you must use reasonable and good will efforts to try to remedy any Travel Issue with the Guest unless SanBnB advises you that the Travel Issue cannot be remediated or the Guest has already vacated the Accommodation

13.6 Conclusion

a.) This Cancelation & Refund Policy is not intended to offer an assurance or insurance contract, and does not take the place of insurance obtained or obtainable by the Guest, and the Guest is not required to pay for any premium in respect of the Cancelation & Refund Policy. The benefits provided under this Refund Policy are not assignable or transferable by you.

b.) SanBnB reserves the right to modify or terminate this Cancelation & Refund Policy, at any time, in its sole discretion. If SanBnb modifies this Guest Refund Policy, we will post the modification on the SanBnB Platform or provide you with notice of the modification and SanBnB will continue to process all claims for Travel Issues made prior to the effective date of the modification according to the then applicable policy.

c.) This Refund Policy constitutes the entire and exclusive understanding and agreement between SanBnB and you, regarding the Cancelation & Refund Policy and supersedes and replaces any and all prior oral or written understandings or agreements between SanBnB and you regarding the Cancelation & Refund Policy.

14. Booking Modification

Booking Modifications. Guests and Hosts are responsible for any booking modifications they agree to make via the SanBnB Platform or direct SanBnB customer service to make on their behalf, and agree to pay any additional amounts, fees, or taxes associated with any Booking Modification.

15. Guest’s Responsibilities

You are responsible and liable for your own acts and omissions and are also responsible for the acts and omissions of anyone you invite to join or provide access to any Accommodation, Experience or other Host Service.

(i) You are required to leave the rented space (and related personal property) in the condition it was in when you arrived.

(ii) You must act with integrity, treat others with respect, and comply with applicable laws at all times. If you are booking for an additional guest who is a minor or if you bring a minor to a Host Service, you must be legally authorized to act on behalf of the minor and you are solely responsible for the supervision of that minor.

16. Risk Disclaimer

Your Assumption of Risk. You acknowledge that many activities carry inherent risks and agree that, to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, you assume the entire risk arising out of your access to and use of the SanBnB Platform and any Content, including your stay at any Accommodation, participation in any Experience, use of any other Host Service, or any other interaction you have with other Members whether in person or online. This means it is your responsibility to investigate a Host Service to determine whether it is suitable for you. Always avoid participating in risky experiences or host services or illegal activities that may endanger or threaten your life or other members.

17. Manage your Listing

17.1 Creating and Managing Your Listing; SanBnB provides you with tools to set up and manage all your Listings with a few clicks. Your Listing must include complete and accurate information about your Host Service, your price, other charges like cleaning fees, resort fees, security deposits, Park Fees, and any rules or requirements that apply to your Guests or Listing. You are responsible for keeping your Listing information (including calendar availability) and content (like photos) up-to-date and accurate at all times. We recommend that you obtain appropriate insurance for your Host Services and suggest you carefully review policy terms and conditions including coverage details and exclusions. You may only maintain one Listing per Accommodation, but may have multiple Listings for a single property if it has multiple places to stay.

17.2 Know Your Legal Obligations. You are responsible for understanding and complying with any laws, rules, regulations, and contracts with third parties that apply to your Listing or Host Services. For example: Some landlords and leases, or homeowner and condominium association rules, restrict or prohibit subletting, short-term rentals and/or longer-term stays. Some cities have zoning or other laws that restrict the short-term rental of residential properties. Some jurisdictions require Hosts to register, get a permit, or obtain a license before providing certain Host Services (such as short-term rentals, longer-term stays, preparing food, serving alcohol for sale, guiding tours, or operating a vehicle). In some places, the Host Services you want to offer may be prohibited altogether.

18. Reviews

After each Host Service, Guests and Hosts will have an opportunity to review each other. Your Review must be accurate and may not contain any discriminatory, offensive, defamatory, or other language that violates SanBnB’s policies.

19. Fees

SanBnB may charge fees (and applicable Taxes) to Hosts and Guests for use of the SanBnB Platform. Except as otherwise provided on the SanBnB Platform, service fees are non-refundable.

Sanbnb charges Hosts a service fee of 5% and a service fee of 10 % is charged on guests on every successful booking to cater for the platform maintenance. The service fee is applied on the total booking fee excluding the security deposit.

SanBnB reserves the right to change the service fees at any time, and will provide members with proper notice of any fee changes before they become effective. Fee changes will not affect bookings made prior to the effective date of the fee change. If you disagree with a fee change you may terminate this agreement at any time pursuant to Section 22.

Make Featured

Hosts who wish to make their Listings featured in the homepage, search and Blog page will do so by picking a boosting plan from our available plans. Logically, promoted listings will have a higher impression that easily converts into sales.

If a reservation is cancelled under this Section, the amount paid to the Host will be reduced by the amount we refund or otherwise provide to the Guest, and by any other costs we incur as a result of the cancellation.

You agree that SanBnB may seek to recover from you under any insurance policies you maintain and that SanBnB may also pursue against you any remedies it may have available under applicable law.
