Booking Professional Services During Your Stay: How to Get the Most Value

Short-term stays now overlap with lifestyle services.

Here’s how to maximize value when booking services like photography, yoga, or videography.

 

Photography & Videography

 

Before booking:

 

  • Clarify the style (candid vs editorial)
  • Agree on delivery timelines
  • Confirm number of edited photos

 

Plan outfits ahead.

Use natural light hours (early morning or golden hour).

 

Private Yoga or Wellness Sessions

 

Communicate:

 

  • Your skill level
  • Any injuries
  • Desired session intensity

 

Create ambiance:

 

  • Clear space
  • Dim lights
  • Calm music

 

This turns your stay into a wellness retreat.

 

Event Services (Decor, Setup, Surprise Planning)

 

Be clear about:

 

  • Timeline
  • Access time
  • Cleanup responsibility

 

The smoother the coordination, the better the outcome.

Professional services work best when guests communicate clearly and plan intentionally.

Hi, I’m Samuel Siziba the founder of Plustay. I did not build Plustay just to list properties. I built it because I believe where you stay has the power to change how you think, how you feel, and sometimes even who you become. When I say “It’s more than a stay,” I mean that deeply. A stay is where you unwind. It’s where clarity finds you at 2AM. It’s where decisions are made, where ideas are born, where relationships are strengthened, and where parts of you are redefined. Some of the most important epiphanies in life don’t happen in boardrooms they happen in quiet spaces away from noise. Plustay is my attempt to protect and create those spaces. I care about the details because the details shape the experience. I care about hosts because they shape the atmosphere. And I care about guests because they carry stories, ambitions, and turning points that deserve the right environment. This platform means more to me than business. It’s vision. It’s intention. It’s the belief that an environment can elevate a moment and that a moment can elevate a life. Welcome to something more than a stay.
