Fees and payments
What hosts pay, what guests pay and what you receive.
The guest service fee
A 12% service fee, already inside the total price a guest sees. 6% when you return within 12 months to a home you have stayed at.
How our fees compare with Airbnb and Stayz
Like for like, using the published percentages as at September 2026: OzGetaways 12% total (0% host, 12% guest), Airbnb approx. 15.5%, Stayz approx. 14.5% to 23.5%.
GST, ABN and tax for hosts
Short stays are input taxed, so most hosts do not charge GST and do not need an ABN. Our fees include GST. This is general information, not tax advice.
Victorian and ACT short stay levies
Victoria charges 7.5% and the ACT 5% on short stays booked through platforms. They are government charges, shown as a named line inside the total.
Getting paid
What you receive is the subtotal minus your host fee, with no payout or processing fees. Bank details are collected before your first booking.
