What Airbnb Doesn't Tell You

Airbnb's guest service fee ranges from 14% to 20% of the total reservation cost — added at checkout, after you've already fallen in love with the listing. On a $3,500 Coachella weekend, that's $490–$700 gone. On a week-long stay, it's over $1,000. That money goes to the platform, not to you, and not to us.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is it safe to book directly with a vacation rental host?

Yes. Tulum in the Valley is a licensed, insured short-term rental with 200+ verified stays and a 4.97-star rating. You pay securely through our booking platform, receive a signed rental agreement, and have direct contact with us at every step. We've been hosting for years and our reviews speak for themselves.

Why is the direct price lower than on Airbnb?

Airbnb charges guests a service fee of 14–20% of the total reservation value — separate from the cleaning fee. On a typical Coachella weekend stay, that adds $400–$800 on top of the nightly rate. When you book direct, that fee disappears entirely. Same house, same service, lower price.

How do I pay when booking directly?

We use secure payment processing — credit cards, debit cards, and major digital wallets all accepted. You'll receive a booking confirmation and signed rental agreement immediately. The process is straightforward and takes under 5 minutes.

What's the cancellation policy for direct bookings?

We offer flexible and moderate cancellation options depending on your travel dates. Coachella and Stagecoach weekends have stricter policies given high demand — contact us directly and we'll walk you through exactly what applies to your dates.

Can I negotiate a better rate for a long stay?

Yes! One of the biggest advantages of booking direct is flexibility. For stays of 7+ nights, group bookings, or returning guests, reach out directly and we can discuss custom pricing. Something Airbnb simply doesn't allow.
