Our mission

The free AI index for direct booking homes. Any channel, or straight to the host.

CielStay indexes homes for stays of a night, a week, a month or a year from independent hosts and property managers: from their own websites and from the booking channels they list on. You describe the stay you want in your own words; AI reads the request and ranks the homes that fit it. Each home shows every place it can be booked, including the host's own site when there is one.

Then we step aside. We don't take payment, set the rules or decide disputes. The booking is between the guest and the host, or the platform the guest chooses.

Why

Renting a home used to be about rest, space and time together. For many guests and hosts it has become about platform rules, fees and lock-in. We want guests to find a home on its merits and book it where they choose, and hosts to be found without signing up to anything exclusive.

A home shouldn't have to pick a lane, either. The same place might suit a weekend, a travelling nurse's thirteen-week contract or a year's lease, and each of those usually lives on a different site with different rules. On CielStay a host can offer a home by the night, the month or the year, on one listing.

How we make money

Free to search, free to list. Guests never pay us anything, and listing or claiming a home is free. CielStay Pro is an optional subscription for hosts who want to arrange stays themselves: $100 a year per property, for guest messaging, your rental agreement, calendar blocking that syncs to your PMS, monthly and yearly terms, and a monthly report.

We never process guest payments and never take a commission from hosts or guests, so we earn nothing more when a stay costs more. Pro does not change how homes rank.
