Does being a partner put me at the top?

Yes, when your place fits what the traveler asked for. Partners are shown first among the places that fit, with a Partner tag. If it isn't a fit, we won't push it, because a mismatched guest usually means a bad review for you.

I don't take bookings. Can I still join?

Yes. Many places, like karinderyas, snack houses and bars, just want travelers to find them. Apply as a listing partner and you get the Partner tag, priority among good fits, and your dashboard.

How do bookings work?

You mark your open dates in your dashboard. When a traveler wants to book, you get an email and a text message right away, and you confirm or decline from your dashboard. Travelers only see dates you've marked as open, so you won't get asked for days you're full. Booking inside the app is coming soon; until then, travelers reach you through your listing.

Where can partners join from?

Anywhere in the Philippines. TravelBuddy helps travelers all over the country, and we're adding partners wherever they travel.

Our promise

Partners go first, when they fit.

When a traveler asks for something, TravelBuddy finds the places that truly fit. Among those, partners are shown first and tagged. We never suggest a place that doesn't fit, partner or not. That's why travelers keep trusting what we recommend, and why the guests who come to you are the right ones.

Who we're looking for
