For Hosts

Slownook is a thoughtfully curated space, bringing together hosts who treasure a slower, more intentional way of life with travelers seeking immersive and soulful experiences. We warmly invite hosts who own intimate agritourism spots, cozy guesthouses, private homes, or creative lodging spaces that embody these values:

  • Offering guests more than a place to sleep—an experience that fosters connections, community, and memorable moments
  • If serving food, prioritizing high-quality, local, or sustainably sourced ingredients that reflect care and thoughtfulness
  • Providing comfort and quality, often exceeding traditional accommodations, unless offering a distinct experience like a rustic cabin escape
  • Valuing the essence of hospitality and the joy of sharing over quick profits, placing guests and genuine connection first

At Slownook, we celebrate travel that respects the environment, communities, and the beauty of nature. Our property profiles reveal the authentic character of each place, going beyond a picture-perfect image to offer a true sense of what guests can experience. When you join Slownook, you join a community dedicated to mindful travel.

If your space is either artfully designed or wonderfully unique—think treehouses, charming cottages, or creatively repurposed spaces—we’d love to consider it. We take time to look at guest feedback, the surrounding environment, and the spirit of your property to ensure it aligns with the Slownook vision. For us, it’s all about quality, not quantity, so we focus on featuring spaces that share our values.

Sound like your kind of community? Start by filling out a quick form, and let’s explore the journey of slow travel together.

At Slownook, we believe in transparency and support for our community of property owners. That’s why we don’t charge any commission fees. Slownook was created by fellow property owners with the vision of helping others succeed without hidden costs.

This variation keeps the warmth and mission-focused message, while clarifying Slownook’s dedication to its community.

Listing your property on Slownook is refreshingly simple—there are no commission fees, just a single annual fee per listing. Explore our packages and feel free to get in touch; we’re here to help you find the perfect fit!

If you have several properties with similar styles that can share a listing, this can help you save on costs. For owners interested in multiple listings, reach out to discuss our discounted rate.

After you sign up, our team will create a personalized listing with a carefully written description to showcase your property. From there, you’ll have the flexibility to manage it yourself—sync your calendar, update prices, and add unique features to reflect what makes your space special.

With your property listing live on Slownook, staying in sync is simple. You can effortlessly link your calendar using an iCal connection, allowing availability to update automatically so you’re always in tune across platforms. No iCal? No worries—you can also update your calendar manually whenever needed. Rest easy, knowing your listing will always reflect your latest availability.

Creating your property listing typically takes around 3-5 days, depending on the materials we’ve gathered and your feedback to ensure everything is just right. If there’s a queue, we’ll let you know the expected wait time; during busier periods, this might take up to a month.

Once you join us, you’ll receive an email with simple guidelines to help complete your profile. When everything’s ready and meets our criteria, we’ll start crafting your listing. Thank you for your patience as we prepare a space that truly reflects the spirit of your property!

For Guests

Slownook is a commission-free listing platform, designed to connect guests and property owners without extra fees. Owners pay a simple annual fee to feature their property, and guests book directly with them—meaning no added booking costs for either side. It’s our way of making the experience smoother and more affordable for everyone.

No, Slownook serves as a peaceful directory to help you discover your ideal getaway. We connect you with property owners directly but don’t take part in the booking process, allowing you to arrange your stay in a way that feels simple and direct.

Each property owner has their own preferred booking system, so all payments are made directly with them, not through Slownook. This keeps things simple and allows for a personal touch with each booking.
