TripBidPrepare your account and accommodation
Use the host sign-up on the TripBid home page. Complete the host business details, property information and verification steps required by the onboarding journey. Subscription access and the payment setup appropriate to your account also matter before you can transact.
Describe the actual accommodation: location, property type, room types or units, capacity, amenities and any important guest restrictions. Keep photos and descriptions representative. A listing is not an availability guarantee; the calendar and room inventory must also reflect what you can sell.
Read the current subscription agreement and host service agreement. New subscriptions use the usage-based model; existing accounts can have arrangements that require a consented transition. Do not assume an old pricing example applies to a new subscription.
Read the whole request before pricing
Open the host request marketplace when signed in and review the destination, dates, number of nights, adults, children and ages, room count and budget. The guest budget is the total per night for all requested rooms, not a per-room allocation.
Illustrative host interpretation
A request for two rooms, four adults and three nights with a €248 nightly budget means €248 per night across both rooms and €744 over the stay. It does not invite a €248-per-room response under the same total budget.
Check that the offered rooms accommodate the party and are available for every night. Treat child ages and sleeping arrangements as part of the request, not details to resolve after payment.
Make the offered stay easy to understand
Use the manual offer journey to select the available accommodation and set the price and details presented to the guest. Review room allocation, meal inclusion, total stay price and your property's payment and cancellation policy before sending. The policy is captured with the offer; editing your general property policy later does not rewrite an existing offer.
Illustrative manual-offer review
You can provide two twin rooms for the requested three nights at €237 per night combined. The stay total is €711. Check that the offer describes both rooms and whether breakfast is included. The guest should not have to guess whether €237 applies to one room or the whole group.
Send an offer only when you are comfortable fulfilling its terms. A manual offer is not a confirmed stay by itself: the guest still decides whether to proceed through booking.
Keep availability and guest communication current
Review your calendar and host dashboard as bookings progress. Reflect external bookings or closures in your available inventory using the supported calendar and connection tools. Do not assume a property listed as active has every room available.
After confirmation, help the guest arrange arrival and deliver the accommodation as agreed. If you enable the AI Reservation Manager, review its separate rules and authorisation: automated offers act on your behalf, so their setup deserves the same care as a manual offer.
