Control how you host

Host whenever you want

There’s no minimum or mandatory time you have to host, so you can block off dates when you’re not available.

You can also set rules about your availability, including:

• Min/max nights a guest can stay • How far in the future guests can book • Advance notice needed before a booking

Set prices that feel good

You get to choose your nightly prices, and our pricing tools can help you decide. You can also easily add custom details like:

• Cleaning fees • Weekly discounts • Special prices for specific times of the year

Quickly coordinate calendars

To avoid getting booked when you can’t host or have an existing reservation, you can connect your JWguest calendar with your other calendars. This allows you to keep all calendars up-to-date automatically.

Establish rules for your space

To help set expectations, you can add House Rules that guests must agree to before booking. If a guest breaks a rule after they book, you can cancel the reservation without penalty.

Frequently asked questions

Who can be a JWguest host?

You must be one of Jehovah's Witnesses, baptized and active. It’s easy to become a JWguest host, and it’s free to create a listing. Homes, apartments, private rooms, boats, and caravans are just some of the properties hosts have shared on JWguest.

What is required of guests before booking?

Guests must be baptized active Jehovah's Witnesses. Anybody who uses Jwbnb will have to disclose some personal information before they can submit a booking. If you want more control, you have the option to ask your guest for recommendations and a verified ID.

How can I choose the right listing price?

The price you charge for your listing is completely up to you. To help you decide, you can search for comparable listings in your area to get an idea of local market prices. You can also add a cleaning and a service fee in your pricing settings or a discount for long stays.

How should I choose my listing’s price?

The price you charge for your listing is completely up to you. To help you decide, you can search for comparable listings in your city or neighborhood to understand market prices.

Cleaning fee: You can either incorporate a cleaning fee into your nightly price or add a cleaning fee in your pricing settings.
Other fees: To charge extra fees outside of your rates (like a late check-in or pet fee), you must first disclose these potential charges to guests before booking and then use our Resolution Center to request payment for additional fees securely.
