Kingdom Stays is always free for owners/operators
There are never any fees for property owners/operators when ​a reservation is confirmed. The full amount a property owner lists their property at is the full amount they receive during the time a reservation is confirmed. When fully screened corporations, companies, traveling professionals, or qualified leaseholders book, they are quoted a 9% booking fee in addition to your price to ensure all software and operation costs are covered to maintain a great experience for both entities involved.
Kingdom Stays is compatible with your existing platforms
When a property's calendar is enabled as a featured property, an ICalendar link to our internal system is provided for this listing so you can sync the Kingdom Stays calendar with any other platforms that have calendar syncing enabled such as Airbnb, Furnished Finder, VRBO, Google Calendar, and more. Because maintaining an updated calendar is important, we can also sync one ICalendar link to your Kingdom Stays calendar.
Kingdom Stays simplifies the process
Because we only work with confirmed and screened corporations, companies, and traveling professionals and because your calendar stays up-to-date, the complicated and tedious process of communicating with many leads, answering questions (just to not hear back from them), screening, signing, and billing simply go away with our tech-enabled streamlined process and flexible but comprehensive rental agreement templates.
