Airbnb Alternative:
Discover Wayzyy
Wayzyy is a host-first short-term rental platform, built specifically for Goa. No per-booking commission for hosts. No inflated markup for guests.
The Hidden 15.5% Commission
Airbnb charges hosts a 15.5% fee on every single booking, forever, with no ceiling. That cost almost always ends up baked into the price a guest pays. Wayzyy works differently — hosts pay a flat, low-cost credit instead of a percentage cut, which means the price you see is closer to the price the host actually wanted to charge.

Why Hosts Are Switching
Keep what you earn
No commission means no silent cut disappearing from every booking. On a ₹10,000/night villa booked for a week, Airbnb's 15.5% fee takes roughly ₹11,200 off the top. Wayzyy's credit-based cost is a fraction of that.
Real protection
Every host and guest goes through Aadhaar-based identity verification. Disputes are resolved by a real team, using photo evidence and a structured claims process — not an outsourced call center reading a script.
Built for Goa
Wayzyy understands the local market — from village-level villa knowledge to Goa-specific compliance requirements — in a way a platform built for every country at once cannot.
