One price for easier ownership.
Managing your holiday home costs 20% of what guests pay for the nights, plus VAT on the fee. Promotion and distribution are included.
Hand it all over. See only your payout.
A 20% management fee. Platform commissions are passed through at cost, nothing is marked up. You receive a monthly transfer and a one-page statement. Nothing else to do.
What you see. What you don’t.
You see
- A monthly transfer to your account
- A one-page statement: nights, revenue, your payout
- The weeks you have blocked for yourself
Scala handles
- Listings, pricing and all guest contact, around the clock
- Cleaning, linen, key handover, inspections
- Tourist tax, guest registration, small repairs
Repairs, without the calls
A repair reserve of CHF 1,000 is held for your apartment. Scala fixes anything up to that amount and shows it on your statement; the reserve is topped up from the next payout. Only a repair above CHF 1,000 gets one message to you: yes or no.
Direct bookings pay you more
Every stay booked through our own website carries no platform commission. We push repeat guests there; each such booking adds about 15% to your payout.
