Frequently Asked Questions
How is ZapStays different from a booking site? +
We use a quote-based model. Instead of fixed nightly rates, you request a quote, negotiate with the owner, and finalize terms — ideal for mid to long-term stays.
Is there a booking fee? +
No fees for travelers. ZapStays is free to use.
How do I request a quote? +
Browse hostels, open one you like, fill in the quote form with your move-in date and duration, and the owner will respond with a price.
Can I chat with owners before booking? +
Yes — every listing has a "Chat with owner" button once you sign in.
I own a property. How do I list it? +
Create an account as "Property owner", then add your property from your owner dashboard. Our team reviews it within 24 hours.
How do you verify owners? +
We manually check identity, property documents, and ownership before approving any listing.
