How do renters find your location?

Venwall is the only location marketplace with full-text search, allowing renters to search by style, name, area, and/or features and types.

To maximize your chances of being found in search, make sure to mention anything unique that stands out about your listing in your description or title.

Also make sure to select all features your property has. Do not select features or styles that do not pertain to your listing. This will make it harder for your location to be found.

Good and bad host behavior

Our philosophy is to recognize and reward top hosts by improving the visibility of their listings. To support this, we’ve introduced a Listing Score. Listings with higher scores are more likely to appear at the top of Venwall’s search results, increasing visibility, inquiries, and bookings.

How Your Listing Ranking Works

The better your rating, the more visible your listing becomes in search results. Higher visibility leads to more views, more inquiries, and a steady stream of bookings. Several factors influence your ranking—and the good news is, you have full control to improve it.

Review your listings

This is where your listing(s) will be live. Common edits like availability, pricing and photos are available directly from this page. To edit other things like your description or features, click the “Edit listing” button.

Venwall Inbox

Your Venwall Inbox is the primary place to receive messages and booking inquiries from renters interested in your location. Make sure to reply through the Inbox & Venwall emails to stay connected.

Timely and consistent responses improve your response rate and response time, which helps boost your listing’s visibility in search results.

Please note that repeated failure to respond may lead to account restrictions or suspension.

Information to Confirm with Renters

Gathering this information helps you properly evaluate the request, understand how your property will be used, and assess any potential impact before confirming a booking.

Important Notice: Before any shoot, advertising campaign or event begins, always request and obtain a Certificate of Insurance (COI) from the renter. This ensures protection for your property in the event of damage.

Confirming the Booking

Once a renter decides they want to book your location, they will submit a booking request through Venwall for you to review.

Responding quickly and to every chat will help your response time and response rating, which in turn will help you appear higher in search.

Unresponsiveness is taken seriously and can result in account suspension.

If all looks good, all you have to do is press “approve.” If you want to send back a counter-offer or adjust something on their request, you can click the “custom rate” button to edit their request and send it back to them.

The renter will receive a notification of your custom rate and will be prompted to approve it which will confirm the booking.

Custom rates and negotiation

You can also send a custom rate to a renter from the booking chat directly. This is useful in instances where you negotiate a rate that is different than what you have listed.

How do you get paid?

Venwall initiates your payout on the first day of your booking via direct deposit or check. To receive payment for your first booking, you’ll need to complete your bank or check details and submit a tax form under Account Settings > Payouts.

What commission does Venwall take?

Venwall charges a 19% commission to support search visibility that helps renters discover your location, along with platform maintenance, ongoing development, marketing efforts, and 24/7 customer support.
