Booking a space through SpacePal gives you access to unique locations while connecting you with amazing hosts. Whether you’re renting a studio, home, or event space, hosts open their doors to accommodate you, so it’s important to treat their space with care and respect.
Being a great guest means communicating clearly, following house rules, and leaving the space as you found it. Here’s what you need to know before, during, and after your booking to ensure a smooth experience.
Before You Book
✅ Get familiar with SpacePal policies – Understand how payments, cancellations, and overtime charges work before confirming your reservation.
✅ Complete your profile – Build trust by adding a profile photo, your name, and a valid phone number so hosts can recognize and reach you easily.
✅ Use SpacePal for all communication and payments – Keep everything on the platform, including logistics, schedule changes, and overtime payments, so your booking is protected.
✅ Be clear about your plans – Let the host know who you are and what you’ll be using the space for. The more details you provide, the easier it is for the host to approve your request.
✅ Check the listing details carefully – Read the description, rules, and amenities to ensure the space meets your needs.
✅ Book enough time for setup and cleanup – Avoid overtime charges by allowing extra time to set up and pack up before leaving.
During Your Booking
🕒 Stick to your reserved time – Arrive and leave according to your confirmed schedule to respect the host’s availability.
🏡 Follow the host’s rules – Every space has its own guidelines—whether it’s noise limits, capacity restrictions, or specific usage rules. Respect them.
🔍 Inspect the space upon arrival – Do a quick walkthrough when you get there. If you notice anything damaged or missing, notify the host immediately.
🙌 Be respectful – Treat the space as if it were your own. Be mindful of furniture, equipment, and shared areas, and ensure your guests do the same.
📞 Communicate with your host – If anything comes up during your booking, such as extra time needed or unexpected issues, let the host know as soon as possible.
💰 You are responsible for any damages – If you or your guests cause any damage, you are required to cover the cost.
After Your Booking
✍️ Leave a review – Share honest, constructive feedback about your experience. Reviews help future guests and hosts, so be detailed about what you liked and any suggestions for improvement.
🧹 Leave the space as you found it – Clean up, dispose of trash properly, and return any furniture or equipment to its original place.
A little courtesy goes a long way! Being a great guest not only helps maintain a positive reputation on SpacePal, but also increases your chances of getting accepted for future bookings.
