Affiliate Programme | Host Wise
Affiliate Programme
Refer stays in Portugal.
Earn commission on every booking.
The Host Wise Affiliate Programme is for content creators, travel bloggers, journalists and media partners who want to earn a commission by recommending our properties in Porto and the Algarve.
You get a personal referral code to share with your audience. Every confirmed booking made with your code earns you a fixed commission on the net booking value. There is no guest discount — your earning is purely based on the stays your referrals generate.
No fees, no minimum referrals required. Apply, get approved, start earning.

"Recommend the places your audience will love. Earn a commission on every stay that follows."
How it works
Four steps from signup to payout
Apply to join
Fill in the short application form. Tell us who you are and how you refer clients — a travel blogger, a content creator, a media publisher. We review every application manually.
Get your code
Once approved, you receive a personal referral code. Share it with your audience. Every confirmed booking made with your code is tracked and attributed to your account.
Track your earnings
Log in to your dashboard at any time to see every reservation, your commission balance, and your payout history. Everything is transparent and in one place.
Get paid
Once your confirmed commission balance reaches €50, our team initiates a payout request. Submit your invoice metadata via the dashboard and we process the bank transfer in EUR.
Commission & payment
How commissions and payouts work
Your commission rate is agreed with our team when your application is approved. It applies to the net value of each confirmed stay and stays fixed — it does not change with volume.
Payouts are handled manually by our team. There are no automated transfers — every payment follows a deliberate process to stay compliant with Portuguese fiscal requirements.
- Our team initiates a payout request once your confirmed commission balance reaches €50 or more.
- You receive a notification in your dashboard and are asked to submit invoice metadata — invoice number, date, and amount.
- We validate and schedule the payment. Once confirmed, the bank transfer is processed in EUR to your registered IBAN.
Payouts require a complete payout profile — IBAN, tax ID, billing address, and fiscal details. You can fill this in via the Payout Profile section of your dashboard.

FAQ
Common questions
Is there a cost to join?
No. The programme is completely free. No subscription fees, no minimum volumes, no penalties for inactivity.
How is my commission rate set?
Your commission rate is agreed with our team at the time of approval and stays fixed. It applies to the net value of each confirmed reservation.
What counts as a confirmed booking?
A reservation becomes confirmed once the guest has checked in and completed their stay. Pending or cancelled bookings do not generate commission.
When do I receive my commission?
Our team initiates a payout request once your confirmed commission balance reaches €50 or more. You receive a notification, submit your invoice metadata via the dashboard, and we process the transfer in EUR.
Does my referral code give guests a discount?
No. The affiliate code tracks the referral but does not apply a discount at checkout. If you want to offer your clients a discount instead, see our corporate partner programme.
How long does approval take?
We review all applications manually. Most decisions are made within one to two business days.
Can I change to a different programme type later?
Yes, with a manual review by our team. Contact us through your dashboard if you want to discuss switching to a discount-based or hybrid arrangement.
Is there a minimum number of referrals required?
No minimum. You can refer one booking a year or fifty — the programme works either way.
