Does Hostee charge a commission on bookings?+
No. Hostee takes zero commission on venue bookings. Payments for your event are made directly between you and the venue host — we earn revenue only through host subscription plans, never a cut of your booking.
How do I book a venue?+
Browse venues on our explore page, open one you like, and submit an enquiry with your event details. This opens a chat directly with the host, where you can ask questions and confirm your booking.
Is it free to enquire about a venue?+
Yes — browsing venues and sending enquiries on Hostee is completely free for event planners.
How are venues verified before listing?+
Our team reviews each venue submission — details, photos, and pricing — before it goes live on the platform. If anything looks off, we follow up with the host before publishing.
How do I list my own venue on Hostee?+
Head to our become a host page, pick a plan, and submit your venue details. Once reviewed, your listing goes live and you'll start receiving enquiries directly in your Hostee dashboard.
Who do I pay — Hostee or the venue?+
You pay the venue directly for your event booking. Hostee is a marketplace, not a payment processor for event bookings — any advance, deposit, or final payment is handled between you and the host.
I'm having an issue with a host or a listing — who do I contact?+
Reach our support team at support@hostee.co.in or via the contact page, and we'll help resolve it.
Where is Hostee based?+
Hostee is operated by Dreamloft Labs LLP, a limited liability partnership registered in India with teams in Bangalore (Karnataka) and Guwahati (Assam).
