Terms of Service

Slipstream Stays is a platform operated by Slipstream Labs, LLC. It connects hosts who offer short-term stays with guests who want to book them.

The rental contract is between the host and the guest. Slipstream Labs, LLC is not a party to that contract and is not a property manager, insurer, or payment processor for the stay.

Hosts are responsible for their property, insurance, permits, taxes, house rules, and the accuracy of their listings. Guests are responsible for their conduct and for paying the host as agreed.

The platform does not process or hold guest payments. After a host confirms a booking request, the guest pays the host directly using the payment methods the host provided (for example Venmo Business, Zelle, PayPal, Square, or another payment link). Payment disputes are between the host and the guest.

Hosts list free. When a host confirms a booking, Slipstream Labs, LLC may issue a commission invoice of 3–5% of the stay (lodging plus cleaning) to the host. The platform does not automatically charge a host card or bank account.

Optional damage protection or trip insurance, if offered, would be provided through a licensed insurance partner and is not currently available.

Some listings are booked on the host’s own site, with payment made directly to the host. Travel articles on this site cite official sources and are not a substitute for current conditions, availability, or professional advice.
