One service fee. Usually not yours to pay.
| Where it applies | The fee | Who pays it | What it costs you |
|---|---|---|---|
| Security deposit verification | $2.50 equivalent per secured booking, in local currency (R47 in South Africa) | The guest, at pre-check-in | R0 |
| Damage waivers collected | 15% of the waiver fee you set | Deducted from the waiver collected | You keep 85%, on money you weren't collecting before |
| Claims | 15% service fee on the total charge amount, auto-calculated and added on top of your claim | The guest, on the total charged | R0, you receive your full claim amount |
Worked examples, real numbers.
| Scenario | Guest pays | You receive | LekkerGuest fee |
|---|---|---|---|
| Damage waiver set at R100 per stay | R100 | R85 | R15, deducted from the waiver |
| Approved claim of R1,000 | R1,176.47 (fee added on top) | R1,000, your full claim | R176.47, paid by the guest |
| R5,000 security deposit, clean stay | R47 verification fee ($2.50 equivalent); hold released, nothing else charged | Nothing owed either way | R47, paid by the guest |
Payment processing is handled by Stripe. Payouts go directly to your bank account. Cross-currency payouts may incur Stripe conversion costs, shown transparently on every settlement.
Why hosts think it pays for itself.
Waivers become income
On damage-waiver properties, the 85% you keep from every stay accumulates into a self-funded cover pool. This becomes an additional income stream for you as a host or property manager.
Claims actually settle
The service fee on claims is added on top of your amount and charged to the guest, not deducted from you. R1,000 of damage means R1,000 in your account.
Deterrence is free
Verified identity plus a visible guest score means fewer incidents in the first place. The cheapest claim is the one that never happens.
Run the numbers on your own properties.
Sign up, add a property, and see exactly what protection would look like on your next booking. No commitment, and nothing to pay until protection is collected.
