Tools, the house, the listing, calendar, extras, price, the first guests, and how you are paid.

Exploring your hosting tools
Calendar, messages, check-in and payouts live in one Absolute host view. You operate the house. Absolute is the sales layer.

Prepare your home for guests
Guests book what they see. The house must be ready the afternoon before they arrive — not after they knock. Check-in is 15:00 unless the listing says otherwise.

Helping your listing stand out
Guests compare three houses in a minute. The one they open has a true first photograph, a short title, and amenities that are actually in the rooms.

Calendar, minimum price and smart pricing
You block nights you cannot host. You set a minimum nightly floor in AZN. Absolute may raise the guest price. We never go below your floor.

Upgrades to help you host
The upgrades that matter are in the house: linens a guest will sleep on, a detector that works, wifi that lasts the afternoon. They are not a catalogue of third-party services.

Extras at the stay
A transfer from the bus, a breakfast table, a cleaner mid-week. Guests add them at checkout. You only offer what you will actually run.

Experiences with the host
A table, a craft hour, or a ride you already drive — Tufandag, Göygöl, the palace in Sheki. Add it when it is real.

Picking your booking settings
Minimum nights, how far ahead guests can book, and whether you need a gap after checkout. Settings that do not match the house create host cancellations.

Setting your pricing strategy
You set a minimum nightly rate in AZN. Absolute may raise the guest price. We never sell a night below your minimum.

What to know about cleaning fees
A cleaning line is for the turnover you actually pay — supplies, laundry, a person. It is not a second nightly rate.

How much Absolute charges — and what you receive
Guests pay Absolute. You receive the nightly minimum you set. The guest programme fee is not taken from that host rate.
News
A simple guest fee — and what you still receive
Guests pay a 15% programme fee on the stay. You receive the nightly minimum you set.

Welcoming guests at the house
The first hour decides more reviews than a new sofa. Be findable, be on time, and leave the house the way the photographs promised.

Payouts: you receive the nightly rate you set
Guests pay Absolute. You do not collect cards at the door. Scheduled local payouts send the minimum nightly floor you agreed at onboarding, in AZN.

Check-in and checkout
Guests complete online check-in before they reach the door. Check-in is 15:00, checkout is 11:00, unless the listing says otherwise.

Messaging guests
Answer in the Absolute inbox. Keep the stay in one thread so AbsoluteCover and check-in can see it.

Writing your listing
A clear listing prevents most disputes. Name the place, who sleeps where, and what is not included — before a guest pays.
