From your first listing to your first payout — here's exactly how hosting works on SaunaMap.
Add photos, a description, your pricing, and your availability. Choose how you want to take bookings — SaunaMap's built-in booking, your own external link, or email. Have a home sauna? You can list it. Run an established sauna, wellness, or contrast therapy business? You can list that too.
Your first listing goes through a quick review before it goes live — typically 24–48 hours. After that, your edits and updates go live automatically, no further review needed.
If you're using SaunaMap's built-in booking, you'll connect a Stripe account right from your dashboard so guests can pay you directly. Not required if you're using an external link or email.
Depending on how you've set things up, bookings come in instantly or as requests you confirm. Message guests directly from your dashboard — before, during, or after their visit. After each booking, guests can review you, and you can review them, building trust and reputation on both sides.
For SaunaMap-integrated bookings, your payout goes out shortly after each session is complete — not immediately at the time of booking. You keep your full listed price; SaunaMap's fee is added on top for the guest, not taken out of what you earn.
The guest always gets a full refund if you cancel, no matter when. Cancelling within 48 hours of the session may also mean a fee is deducted from a future payout, since the guest still has to be refunded in full.
