WaveMatch
For property owners

List your place. Keep control. Get found by the right guests.

WaveMatch connects your property with surfers searching for the exact wave you're near, not just the region. No cost to list, and you keep full control of your calendar and prices.

12% commission — meaningfully lower than the 15–25% typical on major booking platforms.

Built around how you already work

💬

WhatsApp friendly

Manage bookings, block dates, and update prices over WhatsApp. No app to learn, no new habits required.

💰

Paid in full, ahead of arrival

Guests pay a small deposit to us, then pay you the full balance directly 30 days before check-in. No waiting on cash at arrival.

📅

You keep control

Your calendar, your prices, your rules. We never overbook or change your rates without asking.

🎯

The right guests

Guests find you because of the wave you're near, not a generic location search. Better fit, fewer wasted enquiries.

How it works

1

Get in touch

Fill in our short intake form with your property details, rooms, rates, and which break you're closest to.

2

We build your listing

We handle the setup, photos included if you need them. You review it before it goes live.

3

Confirm bookings your way

Requests come to you on WhatsApp. Accept within 24 hours, and the guest's deposit is confirmed.

4

Get paid in full, before the guest arrives

The guest pays your balance directly to you 30 days before check-in, so you're paid in full well ahead of the stay, not hoping for cash on arrival.

Common questions

Does it cost anything to list my property?

No. There's no upfront or ongoing cost to list. We only take a 12% commission on bookings made through the platform.

Do I have to use a computer or new software?

No. Everything can be managed over WhatsApp; a web dashboard is also available if you prefer it, but it's never required.

What if I want to accept a booking directly, outside the platform?

You're always free to take direct bookings at zero commission. Keeping your calendar accurate on WaveMatch helps you get found by more guests either way.

How do I get paid the balance?

Guests pay the remaining balance directly to you, 30 days before check-in. This payment happens directly between you and the guest; WaveMatch is not a party to it and can't mediate disputes over it.

What happens if a guest cancels after paying the balance?

WaveMatch's cancellation policy covers the deposit only. Once a guest pays the balance directly to you, any refund of that amount is between you and the guest, based on your own terms. We recommend setting a clear refund policy for the balance (for example, "50% refundable up to 14 days before arrival, non-refundable after") and sharing it with the guest before they pay.

What if a guest cancels before paying the balance?

Our cancellation policy protects you too. Depending on timing, a portion of the guest's deposit may be released to you as compensation for the held dates.

Do I need to speak English?

No. We're building WaveMatch to work in Bahasa Indonesia as well as English, and we're happy to communicate however's easiest for you.
