Host managing listings, availability and bookings with GoMyRoof

Listing a hotel, guest house, holiday cottage or holiday rental should not force a host to juggle several disconnected tools or give up control of the business. GoMyRoof brings the property presentation, availability, bookings, payments and financial reporting together in one host area.

The aim is straightforward: make it easy to get started, provide clear information for day-to-day management and offer travellers a reassuring journey through to arrival. You remain in control of your accommodation, prices, booking conditions and calendar.

A simple step-by-step setup

You do not have to prepare everything in one sitting. Once your host account has been created, you can complete the property profile, add the rooms or accommodation you offer, upload photographs and provide the information travellers need.

The setup helps you define:

the property type and, for a hotel, its official star rating;
the rooms, units, capacities and beds available;
facilities and services that are included, free or paid;
check-in and check-out times;
prices, availability and booking rules;
the payment method available for your profile and configuration.

You can save your progress, review the page as a traveller would see it and publish only when the information is ready.

A complete listing that answers real traveller questions

Before booking, travellers want to understand where they will sleep, what the price includes, how many guests can stay and how the visit will work. A GoMyRoof listing structures that information without mixing short stays with properties for sale or long-term rental.

The title, description, photographs, beds, services, location and conditions are presented consistently. If your property contains several rooms or units, you can organise them separately and maintain accurate capacity and availability.

Availability that remains under your control

An accurate calendar protects both host and traveller. GoMyRoof lets you close periods, follow confirmed bookings and manage inventory where several identical units are available.

If you already use an external calendar, iCalendar synchronisation can import and export unavailable dates. This helps you keep several sales channels aligned while retaining the ability to check synchronisation from your host area.

Prices and conditions set by you

You set the standard accommodation price and can use calendar tools to adjust rates when your operating plan requires it. You can also define optional services, cancellation terms, arrival times and tourist tax information.

The traveller sees the price and the main conditions before confirming. This transparency reduces misunderstandings and helps you welcome someone who knows exactly what has been booked.

Online payment or payment at the property, depending on your situation

Depending on your host profile, the applicable rules and the listing configuration, a booking may be paid online through Stripe or directly at the property. Where a card guarantee is offered, its purpose is explained before confirmation.

Sensitive payment details are processed by Stripe. GoMyRoof stores only the references and statuses needed to track the booking, not full card numbers.

Clear financial reporting

A booking is more than a total price. A host needs to distinguish the accommodation amount, commission, refunds, possible fees and the final net amount.

GoMyRoof separates these figures across the dashboard and accounting pages. Depending on the operations performed, you can review earnings, paid or outstanding commissions, billing documents, refunds and reconciled Stripe payout statements.

The applicable commercial terms are displayed before you accept them. They are deliberately not hard-coded in this guide, so you can consult the current settings and assess their effect on your margin before making a decision.

Useful tools before, during and after the stay

GoMyRoof supports the complete booking journey. Confirmations and reminders communicate important information. The host area brings bookings and their statuses together. The arrival process helps the traveller and host confirm check-in when that feature is used.

If a cancellation or refund is required, the dedicated process shows the financial consequences before confirmation. Related documents remain available in the appropriate sections, preserving a clear history.

A platform accessible to international travellers

GoMyRoof navigation and its main journeys are available in French, English, German, Italian, Spanish and Portuguese. Travellers from different countries can therefore understand how the platform works in a familiar language.

Accommodation can be discovered through destination pages, search results and the map when it matches the traveller’s criteria. Visibility still depends on listing quality, availability and real demand: no serious platform can guarantee a fixed number of bookings.

A practical approach to protecting your margin

Accommodation profitability depends on many factors: rates, occupancy, operating costs, seasonality, services and distribution costs. GoMyRoof does not promise automatic income. Instead, it provides the tools to publish clearly, compare costs, maintain availability and understand what each booking actually produces.

Clear commissions, separated amounts and accessible documents support better decisions. You can therefore use GoMyRoof as an additional booking channel without abandoning the other channels that already work for your business.

Suitable for different kinds of accommodation

GoMyRoof can suit an independent hotel, guest house, holiday cottage, holiday rental, apartment or villa offered for short stays. Each property keeps its identity and can describe its rooms, beds, facilities and services accurately.

If you need help structuring or completing your listing, you can request the free listing support offered by GoMyRoof. The aim is to help you publish a clear and faithful presentation, not to force your property into a standard model.

Why start now?

Creating your host area does not force you to publish an unfinished listing. You can prepare the property profile, organise rooms, add photographs, check prices and open availability when everything is ready.

You gain a central professional workspace while retaining the freedom to update your presentation and rules as the business evolves.

Frequently asked questions

Can I manage several rooms or accommodation units?

Yes. You can organise accommodation, capacities, beds and availability according to the real structure of your property.

Can I keep my other booking channels?

Yes. GoMyRoof can be used as an additional channel. iCalendar synchronisation helps exchange unavailable dates with compatible services.

Can I choose between online payment and payment at the property?

The available choice depends on your profile, the applicable rules and the configuration permitted for the listing. The options available to you are shown in your host area.

How can I check commissions and fees?

The applicable settings are shown before acceptance. The resulting amounts are then detailed in the financial pages and related documents.

Does GoMyRoof guarantee bookings?

No. GoMyRoof provides visibility and booking tools, but demand also depends on the destination, listing quality, price, availability and traveller expectations.
