How to Add an Apartment on Grovestay
This guide shows how to add your apartment to Grovestay and activate it for guest bookings. Complete verification, connect payouts, subscribe, and set your pricing and cancellation rules.
1. Add Your Apartment
You can add the listing with the help of your Grovestay manager.
Once the apartment is added, you will need to activate it before it becomes visible to guests.
During the beta phase, we transfer your listings into the app for you.
All you need is a property description and photos.
If your apartment is already listed on an OTA platform, you can simply share the link with your manager, and we will quickly import your property with all its information into the Grovestay catalog.
✔ Pass Verification
You must complete host identity verification before your listing can go live.
✔ Add Your Stripe Payout Account
A connected Stripe account is required to receive payouts for guest bookings.
✔ Subscribe to a Plan
An active subscription is necessary to host on Grovestay.

When entering the price, include taxes and fees if you want the guest to pay for them.
If you don’t include them, they will be deducted from your payout.
