How Pinnedlocals works

Simple, honest, and built around real human connection

Three steps to a real experience

Browse & pick

Browse experiences by city or type. Every experience is hosted by a real local. Read their story, see what you will do, and find a time that works.

Book your date

Select your date, tell us how many guests, and hit confirm. You will get an instant email confirmation with everything you need to know.

Pay on the day

No upfront payment, no hidden fees. Just show up, enjoy your experience, and pay your local host directly in cash or however they prefer.

Browse experiences

Share your city. Earn doing what you love.

List your experience

Fill in a simple form. Describe your experience, set your price, upload some photos, and tell us your availability. It is completely free to list.

Get booking alerts

When a traveller books your experience, you will get an instant email with their name, date, and number of guests. No app needed.

Get paid in person

Collect payment directly from your guest on the day. We send you a simple monthly invoice for our small commission, that is it.

Common questions

Is it really free to list an experience?

Yes, completely free to list. We only take a small commission once you receive bookings, which we invoice monthly.

How does cancellation work?

Travellers can cancel via the link in their confirmation email up to 48 hours before the experience. You will be notified by email immediately.

What if a traveller does not show up?

Unfortunately no shows happen. We are working on a review system to help build trust. For now, we recommend confirming with travellers the day before.

How do I get paid?

You collect payment directly from travellers on the day, in cash or however you both agree. At the end of each month we send you an invoice for our commission.

What cities are you in?

We are currently in Bangkok, Hanoi, Delhi, Kochi, Chiang Mai and Phuket, with more cities coming soon.

Can I list more than one experience?

Absolutely. Many of our locals offer multiple experiences. Just submit a separate listing form for each one.
