Listing a Room

Listing Your Room on rooms

Ready to list your room? Here’s how to make it attractive to potential renting professionals:

Step 1: Gather Your Info

Take high-quality photos that showcase your room’s best features with multiple images.
Set a competitive hourly rate (you can adjust it later). There will be a 18% admin fee deducted from your rate, so take that into account!
Example of admin fee deduction: listed price (R100) – 18% (admin fee)= R82 payout to you.

List the features of your space. Include everything (size, equipment, amenities, etc.). Be thorough – renters will be searching for specific needs.
Clearly state any specific requirements for the professional renting your room (e.g., photo ID for building access).

Step 2: Set Your Availability in Your Profile

Select all days that your room is potentially available in your listing profile.
Define your earliest and latest possible booking times in your listing profile.

Step 3: Finalize and Submit

Step 4: Manage Your Calendar

Once your room listing has been accepted, you need to manage your rooms availability, in the calendar of that listing.
Visit your listing and click “Calendar” to open available booking slots.
Update your availability weekly or as needed.

Step 5: Manage a Booking

When a professional wants to rent your room, you will receive a request via email.
Look at the potential renters profile thoroughly.
Accept or decline the booking. NO BOOKINGS WILL BE AUTOMATICALLY ACCEPTED WITHOUT YOU ACTIONING IT.
Once the renter has paid, the booking is confirmed!
You can communicate with the renting professional at any time on the platform.

Step 6: Getting paid

To get the funds deposited into your account, you need to request a pay out, which can be done at any time on the site in your profile.
A proof of account from the bank, no older than 3 months old, will need to be sent to info@rooms-online.co.za to verify your account.
