Pricing & Fee Breakdown

No surprises at checkout — here's exactly how sauna pricing works on SaunaMap.

How Pricing Works

Hosts set their own price

Every host sets their own per-person price, shown right on the listing. Prices range from $5 to $400 per person, depending on the experience.

What Guests Pay

Subtotal

The host's per-person price × the number of people booking.

+ SaunaMap platform fee (4.8%)

Keeps SaunaMap running — hosting the map, reviews, messaging, payouts, and support.

+ Processing fee (4%)

Covers the real cost of securely processing your payment.

Example — $30/person × 2 guests
Subtotal$60.00
Platform fee (4.8%)$2.88
Processing fee (4%)$2.40
Total charged$65.28

These only apply to SaunaMap-integrated bookings. All fees are itemized and shown before you pay — the total you see at checkout is the total you're charged.

What Hosts Get

Your full listed price

SaunaMap's fees are added on top for the guest — they're never taken out of what you earn. You keep your full listed price.

Paid out after the session

For SaunaMap-integrated bookings, your payout goes out shortly after each session is complete, not at the time of booking.

Cancellation Fees

If a guest cancels late

48+ hours out, it's a full refund. Inside 48 hours, the guest is refunded 80% of the subtotal, the host is paid a 20% cancellation fee, and SaunaMap's platform and processing fees aren't refunded.

If a host cancels

The guest always gets a full refund, no matter when. If it's inside 48 hours, the host may have a fee deducted from a future payout, since the guest still has to be refunded in full.
