Frequently Asked Questions

FAQ for Property Owners

Can I list my own property?

Yes! If you’ve got a vacation rental, you can list it on LoonieBnB. You stay in control — we just help you get more bookings by attracting budget-conscious Canadians (and savvy travelers of all kinds). You pick your availability, pricing, and manage your property how you like — solo or with your own team.

Do I have to leave Airbnb or VRBO or my own direct booking site?

Nope! We encourage you to keep using those platforms. LoonieBnB is an additional way to boost bookings. We will sync calendars via iCal or API to help avoid double-bookings.

How do I list my property?

– It’s easy. Just head over to the List Your Property page, fill out the form and that’s it!  We will take your listing hyperlink – be it Airbnb, VRBO or direct booking site and automatically process it. It virtually takes us just a few minutes to have your site live. Need help? Reach out and we’ll walk you through it.

What does it cost to list on LoonieBnB?

There’s no signup fee. We take a small 2% commission on successful bookings made through our site. No monthly subscriptions, no surprise add-ons.

What makes LoonieBnB different from the big booking platforms?
  • We do highlight Canadian Dollar pricing to give us an edge. 
  • We cut guest fees, making your property look like a bargain.
  • We’re a growing, independent site — so you’re not buried behind 10,000 listings.
  • And we’ve got personality. Lots of it.
What if I already have a website or direct booking link?

Even better! We’ll feature your property and direct traffic to your own booking page if needed.  We will share your direct booking site. We are here to support your setup, not replace it.

FAQ for Guests (Especially Our Canadian Friends)

Why should I book through LoonieBnB?

Because we’re all about great stays at great prices — especially for Canadians. We highlight listings with discounted CAD pricing and we skip the bloated fees of the big guys. You get more vacation for your dollar (or Loonie).

Can Americans or other travelers use this site too?

 Of course! Anyone can book through LoonieBnB. But Canadians get currency related discounts, perks, and CAD payment options when available. Discounts are not limited to Canadian guests by any means.

Are the prices really lower?

Yes! Since owners avoid major platform fees, they can pass the savings on to you. Combine that with Canadian-dollar pricing and you’re golden. 

How do I pay?

Each listing will show accepted payment methods. We apply CAD pricing discounts based on the par value of USD vs CAD on foreign exchange market. So for example, 1 CAD equals .7223 USD. The booking guest will enjoy a 28% discount on their first booking with membership. So while we process in American dollars – our deals are consider the value of Canadian dollar when we introduce discounts.

Can I cancel my booking if something comes up?

Cancellation policies vary by listing. Most allow cancellations up to 5 days before check-in for a full refund — but always check the listing details to be sure. Property owners apply their own booking rules and policies.

Is LoonieBnB legit?

Yes — legit and proudly independent. We’re not a mega-corporation. We’re a growing community of smart owners and smart travelers who want to cut out the fluff and focus on value-packed vacation rentals.
