How the booking fee works

Radius charges a flat 8% booking fee on every booking. This fee is paid by the Host and is automatically deducted from their payout — there's no separate invoice or manual payment.

  • The Host sets a nightly rate and receives 92% of the booking total.

  • The same 8% applies to booking extensions — no surprises.

  • There are no listing fees, no annual subscriptions, and no hidden charges.

What Companies and Guests pay

Nothing extra. The price listed on a property is the price the Guest or Company pays — no added booking fees, no service charges. The booking fee is covered entirely by the Host.

👤 Guest: The nightly rate you see is the rate you pay. Radius does not add any fees on top.

👥 Booker: The rate listed is the rate your company is billed. No additional platform charges are passed through.

How does 8% compare?

Radius's flat 8% booking fee is significantly lower than what other platforms charge Hosts:

  • Radius: flat 8%

  • Airbnb: ~15% (combined host + guest fees)

  • VRBO: ~20%

🏠 Host: You keep 92% of every booking — including extensions. No tiers, no volume thresholds, no surprise fee increases.
