Does Basera charge a commission?

Listing on Basera is free and unlimited. Basera charges hosts a low 6% service fee, deducted only from completed bookings — nothing is charged to guests.

How does Basera verify hosts?

Every listing is checked before it goes live. (1) Camera capture — the photos and a continuous walkthrough video of at least 15 seconds must be taken with the camera in the Basera app, not uploaded from a gallery. The app saves the location the host's phone reports at each capture and compares it with the pinned location; that location comes from the phone, so the Basera team reviews it alongside the footage rather than treating it as proof. (2) Review — the Basera team reviews the listing before it goes live.

What is the minimum stay on Basera?

Most homes require a minimum of 1 or 2 months. Each listing shows its own minimum term. Basera is designed exclusively for long stays — remote workers, slow travellers, and people relocating seasonally to the Himalayas.

Which towns does Basera cover?

Basera currently covers Dharamshala, Old Manali, Bir, Kasol, and Palampur in Himachal Pradesh, India.

How do I pay my host on Basera?

You pay through Basera, which holds your payment until 24 hours after check-in and then releases it to your host in full — Basera charges hosts a 6% fee only on confirmed bookings, never the guest. Basera strongly advises guests not to check in until the property matches its listing, since check-in starts the release window.

Is Basera safe for long stays in the Himalayas?

Basera checks every host's identity, requires listing photos and a walkthrough video to be taken with the in-app camera (the phone's reported location is saved and compared with the pinned location), and has its team review each listing before it goes live. Every guest payment is held by Basera until 24 hours after check-in, so fraud through the platform is structurally prevented. The trust score on each listing reflects these checks.

Engineered around the problems other platforms created

We didn't build another OTA directory. We built an operational command centre that puts the host back in charge.

Predictable cash flow, not host holds

Traditional platforms sit on your booking money for days or weeks after the guest checks out, treating your earnings as their float. Basera releases your payout within 24 hours of guest check-in.

Rigorous 3-tier trust

While generic platforms accept email-only profiles with zero real accountability, every Basera host completes verified government ID, phone validation and guest review history.
