What we look for
We keep the Services catalogue small and dependable, the same way we choose our homes.
A registered business. You'll need a VAT number to sign the service provider agreement.
Your own work, shown honestly. Real photos of your service, with clear descriptions and prices.
Reliability. Accurate availability, quick replies to guests and turning up as booked.
The right paperwork. You're responsible for any licences and insurance your work needs. You can upload documents to your listing if you'd like us to see them.
Simple, transparent fees
Applying and creating your listing is free. There's no sign-up fee and no subscription.
Guests pay the full price when they book. We keep a 10% commission on each booking and send you the rest the day after the service.
You choose your cancellation policy (Flexible, Moderate or Strict), and guests see it before they book.

FAQ
Who can list a service?
Local professionals and businesses on Paxos offering one of the categories above. You'll need a registered business with a VAT number to sign the service provider agreement.
How long does approval take?
Our team reviews each service after you submit it. If anything needs changing, we tell you what and why, and you can edit and resubmit.
What does it cost?
Applying and creating your listing is free, with no sign-up fee or subscription. We take a 10% commission on each booking, deducted before your payout.
When do I get paid?
The day after the service. Guests pay in full by card at booking, so there's nothing to collect on the day.
Can I decide which bookings I accept?
Yes. Choose instant booking, or receive requests and approve or decline each one within 24 hours. You can also suggest another time.
What if I need to cancel?
Please avoid it: guests plan around you. If you do cancel, the guest gets a full refund and a 3% cancellation fee applies to you. The time stays blocked in your calendar.
What if a guest cancels?
Your cancellation policy decides the refund. Whatever the guest doesn't get back is paid out to you, less our commission.
Do I need to work only through Paxos Retreats?
No. There's no exclusivity: keep your own clients and any other platforms you work with. Just keep your Paxos Retreats calendar up to date so guests only see times you're free.
Can I talk to guests before they book?
Yes. Guests can send you a question from your service page, and you reply from your Paxos Retreats inbox. Contact details are shared once a booking is confirmed.
Is this the same as the Paxos Retreats concierge?
No. The concierge is our own team arranging extras for our guests. Services is a marketplace where local providers list and run their own bookings.
