Host on the KashStays Homes Tab

The KashStays Homes tab is the place on Kashlei for a stay that is not a hotel room. It might be an apartment, a guest suite, a cabin, or a house. People looking for an entire home, a private room, or a shared space start there, so the listing should make the kind of stay obvious. Open the Homes tab to see how homes are presented, and KashStays for the wider lodging section.

Choose the type of stay

Start with the type of place you are actually offering. An entire home means the guest has the place to themselves. A private room means they have their own room and share other parts of the home. A shared space means they share the room as well. Pick the label that matches the stay. A hopeful description cannot turn a private room into an entire home.

Say which areas a guest may use and which areas stay private. If a kitchen, a bathroom, a garden, or an entrance is shared, say so in the first description rather than later in a message. Guests use that information to decide whether the home fits the trip they have in mind.

Fill in the details guests compare

The Homes listing asks for the facts that show up in the summary guests read: how many people the home can host, how many bedrooms and beds it has, and how many baths. Count the rooms the guest can use, not a room you have closed off. A studio can be listed with no separate bedroom. Half baths count, so include them when they are part of the stay.

You can also set a minimum number of nights, up to 30. Choose a number you can host, and explain anything a guest should know about arrival or departure in the house rules. If a detail changes by season, say what changes instead of writing as if the home is the same every week.

Write house rules people can follow

House rules are for the expectations that affect a stay: quiet hours, smoking, pets, events, and how shared rooms should be left. Keep them short and specific. A calm sentence is easier to follow than a long warning. If a rule only applies sometimes, say when.

Read the rules as if you were arriving after a long trip. Would you know where you can go, what to do with trash, and how to reach the host through Kashlei? Add the missing sentence. Leave out rules you do not intend to keep.

Choose a cancellation policy you can keep

Each home has a cancellation policy, and guests can read it before they book. The choices are Flexible, a full refund until one day before check-in; Moderate, a full refund until five days before check-in; Strict, a full refund until 14 days before check-in; and Non-refundable. Pick the one that matches how you can host.

Do not describe a stricter policy in the house rules than the one you selected, or a more generous one you cannot honor. If your plans change, update the listing before the next guest relies on it. The policy on the home is the one the guest sees.

Show the home with current photos

Photos should be recent and should show the rooms a guest will use. Start with a clear view of the home or its main room, then show the sleeping space, the bathroom, and any shared area. If a photo includes a shared room, say so. Avoid edits that make a room look larger or brighter than it is.

When you replace a sofa, repaint a room, or close a space, replace the photo. A picture of a feature the guest will not have is more confusing than no picture of that feature. Captions can name what is shown when the image alone is unclear.

Keep the street address off the public page

A home is often someone’s residence. On the public home page, guests see the stay summary and the city, not the street address. Describe the neighborhood in general terms: a residential street, a downtown block, a rural road. Do not put the street address, a door code, or a private arrival instruction in the public description.

Share precise arrival details through the booking, at the point when a guest needs them. Check that the city on the listing is the city where the home actually is. A wrong city sends people to the wrong Homes results.

Review the listing from the Homes tab

Open your home the way a guest would, from the Homes tab, and read the summary line. It should say the type of stay, how many guests it fits, and the rooms you counted. Then read the description, the house rules, and the cancellation policy in order. Fix any sentence that could be read two ways.

Update the listing when the home, the rules, or your hosting plans change. A short review before you welcome the next guest catches outdated photos and rules that no longer match the way you host.
