TROVAREL HOST GUIDELINES

Last Updated: February 1, 2026

These Host Guidelines outline the expectations and standards for individuals, professionals, and businesses offering experiences and services through Trovarel.

Trovarel is built to connect travelers with authentic, memorable, and high-quality experiences created by local hosts. These guidelines help maintain a trusted marketplace where guests can discover unique offerings while hosts have the opportunity to share their expertise and passion.

By creating a listing on Trovarel, you agree to follow these Host Guidelines, our Terms of Service, and all applicable local laws and regulations.


1. Trovarel’s Marketplace Philosophy

Trovarel is an experience-focused marketplace designed around quality, authenticity, and meaningful connections.

We believe the best travel experiences are created through genuine expertise, creativity, and personal connection. Listings should provide guests with something memorable, participatory, or unique to the destination.

Trovarel is not intended to be a marketplace for generic tourism products. We prioritize experiences that allow guests to learn, create, taste, celebrate, relax, or connect with local culture and communities.


2. Who Can Host on Trovarel

Trovarel welcomes individuals, professionals, and businesses offering unique experiences and services, including but not limited to:

  • Private chefs and culinary professionals
  • Photographers and creative professionals
  • Artists and workshop instructors
  • Wellness professionals
  • Local activity providers
  • Event and celebration specialists
  • Cultural and lifestyle experience providers
  • Other qualified professionals offering unique guest experiences

Hosts may include specialized professionals when they contribute meaningful value to the overall experience.


3. Acceptable Experiences & Services

Trovarel is designed for unique experiences, destination services, and personalized offerings that give travelers and customers something more than a standard, mass-market tourism product.

Examples of experiences and services that may be suitable for Trovarel include:

  • Private chefs and in-home dining experiences

  • Cooking classes, baking classes, and culinary workshops

  • Photography and professional photo sessions

  • Makeup, styling, and beauty services for events or special occasions

  • Yoga, fitness, wellness, and relaxation experiences

  • Art, pottery, painting, craft, and other creative workshops

  • Family-friendly activities and experiences

  • Unique local services designed around travelers’ interests or needs

These examples are not intended to represent a complete list. Trovarel welcomes creative and original offerings that provide genuine value to customers.

Transportation may be included as part of an experience when it is necessary to provide that experience. For example, a host may provide transportation from a designated meeting point to a hiking location as part of a hiking experience. However, transportation cannot be offered as a standalone service.

All experiences and services should be accurately represented and reflect the host’s personality, knowledge, skills, qualifications, or expertise where applicable.


4. Experiences & Services That Are Not Accepted

To maintain the quality, identity, and purpose of Trovarel, certain types of experiences and services are not permitted on the platform.

Examples of offerings that are generally not suitable for Trovarel include:

  • Standalone transportation services, such as airport transfers, taxis, chauffeur services, or car-for-hire services

  • Accommodation, including hotels, vacation rentals, apartments, private rooms, or other lodging

  • Standalone language lessons, tutoring, academic courses, or educational programs

  • Online courses or digital-only services

  • Long-term professional services that are unrelated to travel, events, or destination experiences

  • Generic errands, delivery services, or personal assistance that do not provide a destination-based experience

  • Standard retail products or merchandise sold without an accompanying experience or service

  • Generic walking tours with little beyond basic sightseeing or information readily available to the public

  • Pub crawls or nightlife offerings primarily centered around drinking

  • Generic, mass-market tourism products that do not provide a distinctive or personalized experience

Offerings that may violate legal, safety, or marketplace requirements

  • Experiences or services that violate applicable laws, regulations, or local requirements

  • Activities that require licenses, permits, insurance, certifications, or other qualifications that the host does not have

  • Experiences involving prohibited, illegal, or highly regulated activities

  • Services involving unsafe or unreasonable risks to customers

  • Experiences or services that are misleading, fraudulent, or intentionally deceptive

  • Duplicate, spam, or excessively repetitive listings

  • Listings submitted by someone who is not authorized or qualified to provide the advertised experience or service

  • Offerings that fail to meet applicable health, safety, professional, or regulatory requirements

These examples are not exhaustive. Trovarel may determine that an experience or service is not appropriate for the marketplace based on its nature, presentation, applicable requirements, or overall fit with the platform.

Trovarel may request changes to a listing, restrict its visibility, or remove a listing if it does not meet our guidelines or if circumstances change after publication.


5. Listing Requirements

Hosts are responsible for ensuring their listings are accurate, complete, and professionally presented.

All listings must:

  • Provide a safe and respectful experience for guests

False, misleading, or incomplete information may result in listing removal or account restrictions.


6. Host Commission and Payments

Trovarel operates through a commission-based marketplace model.

Hosts may create listings free of charge and only pay a commission when they receive successful bookings through the platform.

Trovarel applies a 15% commission on completed bookings. This commission supports platform operations, marketplace development, customer support, and connecting hosts with travelers.

Host payouts are processed according to Trovarel’s payment procedures.

This includes, where applicable:

  • Safety regulations
  • Tax obligations
  • Health and safety requirements
  • Professional certifications

Hosts are responsible for obtaining and maintaining any required approvals, licenses, permits, insurance, or registrations necessary to legally provide their experience or service.

Trovarel does not provide legal, tax, licensing, or regulatory advice and does not guarantee that a host’s experience complies with local requirements.


8. Safety and Guest Experience Standards

Hosts must prioritize guest safety and provide experiences that are:

  • Accurately represented
  • Professionally delivered
  • Conducted in a safe environment
  • Respectful and inclusive

While Trovarel does not guarantee pre-approval of every listing before it becomes available, we reserve the right to review, modify, restrict, or remove any listing or account that does not meet our requirements or negatively impacts the guest experience.
