Founding hosts: 5% commission for your listing’s lifetime
Available to the first 25 new properties approved for native ChezFrance bookings. Your place is confirmed when your property is approved to go live.
Stripe payment-processing fees and any applicable VAT are separate. The offer belongs to this host and property; other properties need their own qualifying place.
ChezFrance Pay As You Go
£0 upfront, and no annual fee
5% founding-host commission on accommodation and compulsory property charges paid online. Optional extras, refundable deposits, tourist tax and amounts payable on arrival are excluded. Stripe fees are separate.

Reach guests through Gîtes.co.uk too
Once approved, your home can also appear on Gîtes.co.uk at no extra cost. Guests are sent to ChezFrance to enquire and book. It does not include direct guest contact: if you want that, Gîtes Direct is a separate annual subscription.

Create your host account, then use “Ask for free listing help” in your dashboard. Send your current website or listing link and tell us which photos and information you have permission to use. You do not need to rebuild everything first.
Our team helps prepare your listing and check the available rates, minimum stays and changeover days with you. We can also help connect your existing iCal feed. iCal shares blocked dates; it does not transfer prices or booking rules, and calendar updates are not instant.
You review the draft and confirm anything missing before publication. Account creation does not publish a property or accept the property listing terms. Stripe verification and the remaining booking setup are completed before your property can go live.
The standard ChezFrance rate is 10%
You pay 10% of the accommodation price and compulsory property charges paid online. Optional extras, refundable deposits, tourist tax and amounts payable on arrival are excluded, and Stripe’s processing fees are separate.
We take the full booking commission from the guest’s first payment, even if it is a deposit. If that payment is too small, the rest comes from later payments. Your exact rate is shown before you accept the listing terms, and any special rate agreed with you is recorded in your account. Listing does not guarantee enquiries or bookings.
Guest payments go to you
Guests pay you or your agency securely through your own Stripe account. They see who takes the payment before entering their card details.
You provide the accommodation and remain responsible for the stay, your property terms, taxes, cancellations and refunds. We provide the booking tools and collect the agreed commission.
Your first 12 months
Each property’s first term runs for 12 months from when it first goes live, then continues at the agreed rate. A change of plan can only take effect on the property’s anniversary, when you can leave ChezFrance or stay on at your applicable rate. Nothing changes automatically when your commission reaches a certain total.
Gîtes Direct is a separate annual-fee route for direct guest contact. Switching to it does not cancel commission on a guest ChezFrance introduced, including later changes to that booking’s dates. A separate repeat booking is covered only when it is made through ChezFrance or within 12 months of the original introduction.
Already a Gîtes.co.uk host?
Selected live Gîtes.co.uk rental properties also appear on ChezFrance. Guests select “Enquire on Gîtes.co.uk” to reach your existing listing.
Keep managing them with your Gîtes.co.uk login. Enquiries go through Gîtes.co.uk and there is no ChezFrance booking commission.
Booking conversations stay on ChezFrance
Discuss requests through ChezFrance messages. Until a booking is confirmed, contact details and outside booking links are blocked. You decide whether to accept each request, unless you turn on Instant Book.
Once the guest has paid, you can exchange the details you need for their stay. A guest introduced through ChezFrance can’t be moved off-platform to avoid the commission or booking safeguards.
Use only the tools you need
House guides, guest forms, contracts, calendar sync and team access are all optional. You only need accurate property details, payment setup and the information required to complete a booking.
- Payment schedules and balance collection
- Calendar connections and availability
- Booking agreements, contracts and document delivery
- House guides, guest forms, messages and changeover checklists
- Property submission links for agencies and access for your team
