Good questions

A few things
you might be wondering.

No big promises. Just a useful way
to compare your booking options.

All your questions, answered
Is booking direct always cheaper?

Sometimes it is, sometimes it isn’t. Mates highlights the lower of the two totals you compare. Check the same dates, guest count, currency, fees and cancellation terms before choosing.

Does Mates work with every Airbnb stay?

Mates shows a direct option when it has a connection for that property. Coverage varies by destination and property. If there’s no connection, you can keep browsing or try “See more nearby”.

How do I open the calculator?

First open a direct booking option through Mates on Airbnb. On the direct site, click your pinned Mates icon, choose “Pick this total”, and click the final total for the whole stay. Mates then compares it with the Airbnb total.

Can I use Mates on my phone?

The extension currently works in desktop Chrome. You can explore this website on a phone, but you’ll need a computer to install and use Mates Rates Check.

Does Mates handle my booking or payment?

You book with the website you choose. That provider handles payment, confirmation, cancellations and support for the booking. Mates helps you compare your options before you decide.

Is it free? Do I need an account?

Mates Rates Check is free to install and use. Travellers do not need a Mates account to use the extension.
