How Biverio Works

A quick look at what happens from the moment a guest finds your place to the day they check out — and why no money ever passes through Biverio.

Zero commission, always

Most booking platforms take a cut of every payment. Biverio doesn't — guests pay hosts directly, in full.

Biverio only sends reminders and tracks the booking's status — it never touches the money.

Biverio's own subscription fee (see pricing) is completely separate from what a guest pays you for their stay.

For guests

Booking a stay on Biverio, from search to check-in.

  1. 1
    Search & browse

    No account needed to look around — find a place, check availability and pricing.

  2. 2
    Request a stay

    Pick your dates and guest count, and send a request. Creating an account only takes a minute.

  3. 3
    Deposit, if the host requires one

    Some hosts ask for a deposit upfront. You'll get the exact amount and payment details by email, with a deadline to pay.

  4. 4
    Booking confirmed

    Once everything's settled, your dates are locked in and the calendar is blocked for you.

  5. 5
    Check-in reminder

    As your stay approaches, you'll get a reminder about the remaining balance (unless you've agreed to pay in cash on arrival) and a separate request to fill in a short check-in form.

  6. 6
    Access instructions & check-in

    Once the final payment is confirmed, the host sends you everything you need to get in.

For hosts

Getting your venue listed

From sign-up to your first booking request.

  1. 1
    Sign up

    Create an account, or start by building your listing first and sign up at the end.

  2. 2
    Build your listing

    Photos, pricing, amenities, house rules — a guided 3-step wizard.

  3. 3
    Publish

    Make your venue visible in search and bookable by guests.

  4. 4
    30-day free trial

    Fully visible and bookable, no card required, no strings attached.

  5. 5
    Subscribe to stay visible

    After the trial, a small monthly fee per venue (15 EUR/month) keeps you listed. Miss it, and your venue is just hidden — never deleted.

Running a booking

What happens after a guest sends a request — every step here also updates the booking's status and, unless noted, emails the guest automatically.

  1. 1
    Request received

    Confirm it outright, or, if you require a deposit, send a preliminary confirmation with your payment details.

  2. 2
    Deposit paid, direct to you

    The guest transfers it straight to your account. Confirm it's arrived and the booking is fully locked in.

  3. 3
    Payment reminder

    Sent whenever suits you, with the remaining balance. Skip it if you already know you'll settle up in cash at check-in.

  4. 4
    Payment resolved — transfer or cash

    Once the rest lands in your account, confirm full payment; if you're agreeing to cash on arrival instead, mark that with one click. Either way unlocks the next steps.

  5. 5
    Check-in reminder

    A separate message asking for the guest's check-in details, with no payment content.

  6. 6
    Access instructions & check-in

    Share your lockbox code or entry details, and confirm with one click once the guest has actually checked in.

  7. 7
    Completed

    One click after the guest leaves, purely to keep your own records tidy.
