Yes! Our only requirement is that you have lived in a shared house before.

Anyone who loves living in a community, taking care of others, welcoming people, organising a home, and keeping things tidy, can become a Cambra host.

Hosts are like a friend's cool mum. You can talk to them about anything, they are loving and welcoming, but they also tell you to clean up after yourself if you leave a plate in the sink ;)

All hosts go through a 2-step application process: a video application submission and a video interview with one of our team members.

You can respond to our video application here.

The Cambra team will review your application and get back to you within 48 hours of submission.

If your application is successful, you will be invited for an interview which will take place within the next 7 days.

If your application and interview are successful, your location proposal will be added to the list within 14 days of submitting your application.

While there is no charge for hosting, all hosts must pay a deposit for their room in advance to commit to hosting.

This transaction must be made immediately before the campaign period begins. You will receive a full refund within 7-14 days of your final stay.

Other costs associated to hosting that you will need to cover for yourself: travel expenses, food, etc.

You can cancel your participation as a host, but this also means that you will lose your entire deposit. Unfortunately, we will refund the balance after deducting the costs only if we find another host who can replace you.

At Cambra, hosts have to pay for their own meals, etc. just like everyone else. However, there is one difference: hosts get their money refunded from their room rent at the end of their stay.

The basic rule is that hosts get a low-cost room. Depending on the house, this can be a bed in a shared room or a single bed in a private room. If you want an upgrade, you will have to pay the difference yourself.

Your partner is welcome, but only one of you can register as a host. As for your room, only a single bed is provided for the host. If you want a private room with a double bed, you will have to pay the difference for the upgrade yourself.

Hosting is a great opportunity to live in amazing homes, discover new locations, and bring your friends and community together while making and saving money.

In general, hosts receive 40% of the profit of a house. This amount results after all expenses such as rent, cleaning, utilities, and the 15% Cambra fee, have been deducted. However, the total amount varies depending on the occupancy of the house and the average price per night.

Your first and most important task is to get the community excited about the house you will be hosting.

The success of a campaign and thus the confirmation of the house depends entirely on your ability to motivate people to pre-book their stay during the campaigning stage. But don't worry, we will accompany you all along and help you through the entire process.

While your house is up and running, your main job is to make sure every guest is comfortable and having a pleasant time. This includes things like welcoming new roommates, answering questions that come up, and maintaining order and cleanliness (coordination with cleaning team on-site).

To keep the rest of the Cambra community informed, we also ask you to share content from the house on social media on a weekly basis.

During the campaign, a few hours per week to promote your location proposal. Once the house opens, a total of one to two hours per day, spread throughout the day in small tasks, will be enough.

Once your proposal has been listed, we ask that you do not cancel it or make any fundamental changes. However, if it is unavoidable, you may still cancel or move your proposal during the pre-campaign phase.

No, but you are responsible for keeping a certain level of order and cleanliness in the house. This means proactively reminding all housemates to follow the house rules and, for example, clean up after cooking, take out the trash, mop the bathroom after showering, etc.

You can increase occupancy by following our marketing guidelines, promoting the house on social media and in local groups, talking to friends, or asking your housemates for referrals.

The rent of the house is paid with the money collected during the campaign stage. However, the house will be paid only if the campaign is completed successfully.

No. Hosting at Cambra is designed to be simple and take up very little of your time, so you can easily combine it with another full-time project.

An unsuccessful campaign is one that does not reach enough bookings to cover all the costs associated with running a particular house.

Don't worry, this can happen. We will review your case and make suggestions for improvement such as choosing a new location, new dates, or a different approach to communicating with your audience.

No, but you must make sure that everyone abides by Cambra's general house rules and local regulations. As a host, you are responsible for everything that happens in the house.

No, but you do have to manage and support the event calendar.

That means, if a housemate wants to organize an event in the house, it is your responsibility to help them arrange it, and promote the event to the other housemates and the online community.

All costs incurred during the stay will be shared among the roommates, including you. These costs could be, for example, extra cleaning, hiring a cook, ordering dinner, renting a car, etc.

You will receive a calendar with clear instructions from the Cambra team. This includes suggestions and reminders, such as which days you should post on social media; when to expect a new guest to check-in, or a checklist of small tasks that need to be completed before you go to bed.
