Why host on KynStay
Bookings without the back-and-forth
Share your link, review requests, and sync the calendar with Airbnb or VRBO so bookings from Airbnb and VRBO block your KynStay calendar automatically.
Different rates for different people
Family stays free. Close friends pay $80/night. Wider circle pays $150. Set it once, every booking applies the right rate automatically.
Private & Secure
Your properties are only visible to people you invite. Control exactly who can see and book your homes.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need to pay anything to start hosting?
No. Signing up is free, and your first two bookings are free. You only pay once you're ready to take your third booking.
Are there any per-booking fees or service charges?
No. KynStay is a flat monthly or annual subscription with no booking fees, no service fees, and no commission on what your guests pay you. The price you set is the price they pay.
Can I share my property without charging my guests?
Yes. You can skip pricing entirely and let friends and family stay for free, or set tiered rates so different groups pay different amounts. You stay in control of pricing for every relationship.
Can I sync my Airbnb or VRBO calendar with KynStay?
Yes. KynStay supports two-way iCal feeds, so blocked dates from Airbnb, VRBO, or any other platform stay in sync, checked every few hours. It reduces the chance of a double booking; it does not make one impossible.
Will my property be publicly listed or searchable?
No. Your property is never in a search or directory. People reach it through your invitations, or through a public profile link you choose to share, and only people you have given access to can request dates or book.
How is KynStay different from Airbnb or VRBO?
KynStay is built for sharing privately with people you already know. There are no public listings, no service fees for guests, and you can set tiered pricing so family pays a different rate than friends. Airbnb and VRBO are built for hosting strangers — KynStay is built for hosting the people you trust.
