Free Listings! What’s the catch?
The catch is Fossick is designed to help customers choose somewhere to stay not to sell room nights. We‘re more of an independent travel research site. We don’t take bookings and we don’t sell preferential placements or larger listings.
Although you can upgrade your plan to include your contact details or add features, where you sit on our listings depends entirely on your reviews.
You don’t ever need to pay a cent.
Why? We believe in giving customers choice – all the choices, not just the ones we make money selling.
So go ahead, add your property and enjoy the best of Fossick for FREE.

$50 / yr is ONE of the cheapest listings around. What’s the catch?
Fossick is a travel research site, not a booking site. We make money through referring customers to other sites to book. See our lovely "Book with" section.
Since we also believe in customer choice we think it makes sense to enable you to include a link directly to your own website.
Do we make money off this? No – it’s Commission Free. Only links in the 'Book with' section incur a referral fee.
Still how come so cheap? Think of us as the "low-cost airline" model but in the travel planning sphere.
Do we add a no-follow to our links?. No, that would be mean and somewhat defeat the purpose of improving your SEO. Everyone needs lots of good back-links, so we believe in sharing the love.

Ok, so you’re ready to part with some money.
Boy do we have some great features for you, but there are some caveats,
so please read and make sure your happy, before you sign on the dotted line.
Sticky Review Selector
The selector enables you to choose one review to remain at the top of the reviews page.
Your sticky review appears in the list and summary pages alongside your most recent reviews.
It is labelled as a ‘sticky review’, so customers are aware it is one you have selected.
The purpose of this feature is to enable a great review to be featured and not lost as new reviews are added. However, to maintain integrity, we closely monitor all sticky reviews and reserve the right to reject a choice.
Terms and Conditions.- The selected review can be no more than one year old.
- The selected review must be in keeping with the other reviews.
- Fossick will monitor reviews selected and reserves the right to reject an accommodation provider’s choice. If an appropriate review can’t be agreed on, a refund will be issued.
- Fossick reserves the right to amend the terms and conditions of this feature at any time, particularly if anyone tries to abuse of the spirit of this feature.
Thank and Remind email service
This is an email template generator that enables you to build a professional post-stay thank
you note in seconds. Simply add your logo, select the standard text or add you own, and create an
email signature. Fossick adds a link to your Fossick page and away you go...
Most guests don’t mind leaving a review of their stay, but they simply forget. Creating a 'thanks for staying' note – with a review link - makes the process easy with one click.
Extra features:- We label these reviews as 'verified', since the source of the review has originated from you.
- We have built in fail-safes, so you can't email the same customer twice.
- It's got all the legal bits, like an 'unsubscribe' button.
We have designed this service and the verified tag to show potential customers that you have confirmed the guest stayed with you through soliciting their opinions through an email after they stayed. All reviews so generated will be displayed in keeping with the general terms and conditions of the site. Fossick will use its best endeavours to help you generate reviews through this feature but cannot, of course, guarantee whether the guests will respond or the content of any such review.
We take email privacy very seriously. You might also like to view our privacy policy regarding email addresses entered into the system. Rest assured we will not contact your customers, other than to provide the email service. However in the process of leaving a review, customers are invited to receive further communication from Fossick. This always an opt-in process and a customer must deliberately choose to check the box and can unsubscribe at any time.
