How to Be a Great Host on The Circle Stays

At The Circle Stays, we believe hosting should be just as rewarding for you as it is for your guests. Whether you’re opening your doors in Mumbai, Udaipur, Goa, or any other beautiful destination, our platform empowers hosts to share unique stays while earning income.

In this guide, we’ll share proven steps to make your The Circle Stays hosting experience smooth, enjoyable, and profitable.

Determine your goals

Before you start, ask yourself:

• Are you hosting to earn extra income?

• Do you want to meet travelers from around the world?

• Are you showcasing your city’s culture and heritage?

Understanding your motivations will help you host with intention.

Example: One of our Udaipur hosts joined The Circle Stays simply to cover home expenses. Over time, she transformed her property into a cultural hub — offering traditional Rajasthani meals, guided local tours, and storytelling evenings for guests.

Build Your Support Network

And by resources, Elle means those you can “call in a pinch” when, for instance, “you need to get keys to someone at 2 p.m. when you’re working in an office across town.” This includes a community of friends, like-minded neighbors, a cleaning service, or a few people who are willing to work part time or per diem, barter or take payment for cleaning, key hand-off and greeting when you are unable to do it yourself.

Hosting isn’t just about listing your property — it’s about delivering a consistent, high-quality experience. That means having reliable backup.

Your The Circle Stays host support network might include:

• A trusted neighbor to hand over keys.

• A professional cleaning service.

• Friends or part-time help to greet guests in your absence.

With a strong network, you’ll avoid last-minute stress and maintain excellent reviews.

3. Keep Hospitality at the Heart

The best hosts on The Circle Stays combine professionalism with personal touches. Here are some ways to stand out:

• Leave a personalized welcome card.

• Provide local snacks or drinks.

• Share a curated list of your favorite cafés, markets, and attractions.

Remember — guests remember how you made them feel. A warm, genuine welcome can turn a one-time visitor into a loyal repeat guest.

4. Learn and Improve Continuously

Top hosts never stop improving. After each stay, ask for feedback and use it to enhance your listing.

• Update your photos regularly to reflect seasonal charm.

• Add amenities guests frequently request (e.g., high-speed WiFi, extra bedding).

• Refresh your property description to highlight unique features.

The more you refine your offering, the higher your chances of being featured in The Circle Stays’ top search results.
