Wayzyy vs Airbnb in Goa: We Priced 4 Villas for the Same Dates
A dated, same-villa price test: four Goa villas on Wayzyy and Airbnb for 20-22 November 2026, with GST added so the totals compare fairly.
Published 4 November 2026
Quick answer: for the same four Goa villas on 20–22 November 2026, Wayzyy's final total was about 10% lower on one villa and 4–8% higher on the other three. Neither site wins every time, so check the final total for your own dates.
People ask us whether Wayzyy is cheaper than Airbnb. The honest answer depends on the villa and the date, so on 4 November 2026 we priced four villas that are listed on both sites for the same stay and wrote down what each one showed.
Wayzyy is one of the two platforms here, so this is not an independent review. We show the method and every number so you can repeat it.
How we ran the test
- Dates: check-in 20 November, checkout 22 November 2026 (2 nights, a Friday and Saturday).
- Guests: 2 adults on both sites, so no extra-guest charge applies.
- Airbnb: the total shown on the listing page for those dates. Airbnb displays this before taxes, so we added 18% GST for the comparison because every villa's nightly rate was above ₹7,500.
- Wayzyy: the total on the booking panel, which already includes GST and the 7% service fee.
- Same villas: each one is the same property listed on both platforms.
The results
| Villa | Airbnb (before tax) | Airbnb + 18% GST | Wayzyy total | Difference |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Celestial Groove 3BHK, Siolim | ₹40,000 | ₹47,200 | ₹42,676 | Wayzyy about 10% lower |
| Lux 4BHK private pool, Assagao | ₹38,386 | ₹45,295 | ₹49,078 | Wayzyy about 8% higher |
| 4BHK private pool, Morjim | ₹55,200 | ₹65,136 | ₹68,708 | Wayzyy about 5% higher |
| Lux 4BHK sea-view pool, Candolim | ₹44,898 | ₹52,980 | ₹55,132 | Wayzyy about 4% higher |

What explains the gaps
- Celestial Groove (Wayzyy lower). Airbnb's ₹40,000 includes a one-time ₹4,000 charge on top of ₹18,000 a night. Wayzyy shows cleaning as free, so the stay comes out lower even after Wayzyy's 7% fee and GST.
- Assagao (Wayzyy higher). Airbnb was showing a host discount that day, ₹38,386 against an original ₹47,982. Wayzyy's rate for the same nights had not moved down to match.
- Morjim and Candolim (Wayzyy higher). Airbnb's nightly rate had come in below the rate on Wayzyy. A host rate can be updated on one platform before the other, so a small gap like this is common.
The pattern is that a villa with a mandatory cleaning charge on Airbnb tends to favour Wayzyy, while a villa where the host has just cut the Airbnb rate tends to favour Airbnb. That is why we do not claim a fixed percentage saving.
How to check your own stay in two minutes

Frequently asked questions
Is Wayzyy always cheaper than Airbnb?
No. In this test Wayzyy was lower on one villa and higher on three. Prices change by date, and a host's rate on each platform can be updated at different times, so compare the final total for your own dates.
Why did you add GST to the Airbnb figures?
Airbnb shows the total before taxes on the listing page, while Wayzyy shows GST in the total. Each villa's nightly rate was above ₹7,500, so we added 18% to the Airbnb figure to compare like with like. Airbnb's own checkout is the final word on its tax line.
Does Wayzyy charge a cleaning fee?
Not on these four villas. Wayzyy showed cleaning as free on every listing. Celestial Groove carried a one-time ₹4,000 charge on Airbnb for the same stay.
Why would the same villa cost different amounts?
Platform fees, promotions such as Airbnb's host discounts, calendars that are not updated at the same moment, and cancellation terms can all differ. See our guide to Goa villa booking fees for the full list.
