For Hosts

Becoming a Host on Nohô means opening your door—not to sell a service, but to share what you’re passionate about: a skill, a world of its own, or a tradition passed down from generation to generation. With each experience, up to 6 curious Nomads—whom you freely choose—will come to meet you, with financial support from Nohô based on the price you set yourself.

This FAQ brings together all the answers you need to get started: registration, creating a listing, making contact, payment, and community guidelines.

What is a Nohô Host?

A Nohô Host is a person, maybe you, soon, who chooses to share their passion with others. Not to sell an activity, not to play tour guide: just to open a bit of their world to curious Nomads who come to meet them.
You can be a ceramicist, a beekeeper, a vintage bike lover, an embroiderer, a mycologist, a chess player, an amateur perfumer… On Nohô, your passion doesn’t need to be your job. It just needs to be real.

What is a passion encounter?

A passion encounter is the heart of Nohô: a real, in-person meeting between a Host (you, opening your world) and a Nomad (the person coming to discover). It’s not a class, not a guided tour, not a service. It’s a human-to-human moment, built around a passion that brings people together.
Every listing on Nohô is an open door yours can be too.

Why become a Host on Nohô rather than sell an activity elsewhere?

Because on Nohô, you don’t sell. You share. And that changes everything.
The Nomads who come to meet you aren’t looking for a service to consume: they want to meet a person whose passion inspires them. They come because your profile speaks to them, because your words touch them. No sales pressure, no script to repeat just you, your passion, and 1 to 6 people there to listen. And now, you freely set the price of your encounter, a real sign of Nohô’s trust in your world.
Nohô handles the connection, the payment, the chat. You do what you love: you pass it on.

How do I sign up and become a Nohô Host?

From the Nohô website or app:

  • Click “Create your listing” and follow the signup steps.
  • Take care with your profile: a nice photo of yourself, a sincere description that says who you really are. Nomads choose a Host before they choose a passion.
  • Then create your listing in one of the 5 Nohô worlds: Art, Craft, Nature, Sport, Leisure.

Your profile is the first window into your world. Give it the time it deserves.

How old do I need to be to become a Host?

You must be 18 or older to create a Host account on Nohô. This rule exists for legal and liability reasons.

How do I create a listing about my passion?

Click “Create your listing”, pick the world that fits, find a title that speaks, and tell your story. Really. Don’t be afraid of details: that’s what makes people want to come.

To help you along:

How do I present and promote my listing well?

A few simple principles to make Nomads want to meet you:

  • Tell who you are. Introduce yourself, explain why this passion matters to you. A personal story is worth a thousand sales arguments.
  • Describe your encounter. How the meeting unfolds, what you’ll do together, the atmosphere, the place. Not a schedule a promise.
  • Pick great photos. Photos are the first thing a Nomad sees. Go for natural light, shots that show your world (hands at work, the place, the atmosphere) rather than just finished products.
  • Stay true to yourself. No marketing jargon, no superlatives. Nomads are looking for real.
What are the Nohô worlds I can create a listing in?

Five worlds, designed to embrace every human passion:

  • Art – painting, sculpture, photography, writing, music, calligraphy, dance…
  • Craft – traditional crafts, passed-down know-how, old and modern gestures.
  • Nature – botany, ornithology, mycology, gardening, forest walks, beekeeping…
  • Sport – any sport practiced with passion (see specific rules for certified sports instructors below).
  • Leisure – games, collecting, cooking, wine tasting, comics, amateur astronomy…

If you hesitate between two worlds, pick the one that best describes the spirit of your encounter, not just its content.

How do I create a listing as a certified sports instructor?

If you’re a certified sports instructor, the process is slightly different:

  • Click “Create a listing” and check the “Certified sports instructor” option.
  • Upload your professional ID (front and back) for verification.
  • Once your documents are validated by the Nohô team, you’ll appear on the site with our distinctive “Cup” logo.

Important: on Nohô, you’re not offering a sports activity you’re sharing your passion for your sport and your craft. That nuance is essential, and it’s what makes your encounters unique.

How long does an encounter with a Nomad last?

You decide. A Nohô encounter lasts between 1 and 4 hours, depending on what feels right for your passion.

Worth knowing: duration doesn’t affect your payout, which depends on the price you set. Design it for the quality of the encounter, not to maximize your time.

How do I know how many Nomads will come?

When you create your listing, you set the maximum number of Nomads you can host (up to 6 people per encounter). Once a Nomad books and pays, you’re connected through the Nohô chat that’s when you ask how many people will come along, within your set limit.

Pro tip: the price you set applies to the whole group (up to 6 people), a real asset to attract Nomads who want to come with company.

How does the connection with a Nomad work?

When a Nomad wants to book your listing, you immediately get an email, a notification, and a text message asking you to confirm.

  • If you confirm, the Nomad proceeds to payment and the Nohô chat opens between you.
  • The chat guarantees your payout at the end of the encounter.

From the moment the chat opens, you can talk freely, prepare the moment together, look forward to it. The chat isn’t a formality it’s already the beginning of your encounter.

How do I confirm a booking request?

When a Nomad picks your listing:

  • You get an email, a notification, and a text message.
  • To confirm, click “I’m in” in the email, or go to “Messages” → “Listings to confirm” on the website or app.
  • If the time proposed by the Nomad doesn’t work, you can change it and send a new suggestion.
  • The Nomad only pays once you’ve agreed on the time.

Quick tip: respond fast. A Nomad excited at 9 AM may have committed elsewhere by 6 PM.

How does the Nohô economic model work for Hosts?

It’s simple and transparent. You now freely set the price of your encounter:

  • Minimum price: €10 (to maximize your chances of getting bookings)
  • Recommended price: €35 (the platform’s historical rate, a good balance for both you and the Nomad)
  • Above €35: possible, subject to Nohô Team approval (we review each request case by case, within 48 hours)

After each encounter, Nohô pays out the price you set, minus a service fee that covers secure payment, hosting, support, and the promotion of your listing.

The payout is guaranteed once the encounter has happened. No negotiation, no invoicing, no handling cash.

How much do I receive after an encounter?

After each completed encounter, Nohô pays out the price you set, minus a Nohô service fee. This payout is the same whether you welcome 1 or 6 Nomads, and regardless of the duration you chose.

If you schedule several slots in one day, you receive one payout per group you welcome.

How does payment after the encounter work?

To receive your payout:

  • Go to “I’m a Host” then “Payment methods”.
  • Add your bank details.
  • After each completed encounter, your payout is transferred straight to your bank account within 24 to 48 hours.

No manual action needed, it all runs automatically.

Why do I need a Stripe payment account?

Nohô uses Stripe, a trusted and 100% secure online payment provider, to handle your payouts. Your Stripe account is private, confidential, and ensures you receive your payout after every encounter.

What happens if a Nomad doesn’t show up?

If the Nomad doesn’t show and hasn’t cancelled more than 24 hours before the encounter, you get your full payout, as if the encounter had taken place. Your time is respected as much as your Nomad’s.

What if I can’t make the encounter?

Life happens emergencies, health, the unexpected. In that case:

  • Let your Nomad know right away via the Nohô chat.
  • Try to find a new date or slot together.
  • If you can’t reschedule, cancellation follows the Terms and Conditions.

Quick human reminder: a Nomad who books has blocked their schedule, sometimes taken half a day off. Let them know as early as possible.

What if a Nomad doesn’t respect Nohô’s values?

You’re never alone. To report inappropriate behavior:

  • Go to “I’m a Host” → “My dashboard” → click the listing in question → report the Nomad.
  • If you experienced serious misconduct, file a complaint with the relevant authorities.
  • After verification, Nohô can permanently ban a Nomad from the site and app.

 

What is my responsibility as a Host?

You must make sure not to put the Nomads who come at risk. Nomads are covered by their own personal insurance, but that doesn’t relieve you of responsibility in case of a problem.

By signing up on Nohô, you agree to respect the platform’s values and rules. Full details in our Terms and Conditions.

What are the rules of a Nohô passion encounter?

A few simple principles, designed to protect both Hosts and Nomads:

  • Hosts and Nomads respect the Terms and Conditions and the values of the community.
  • Hosts never ask Nomads for cash payment. Nohô pays out the price they set for their listing, minus a service fee.
  • Any additional money request (materials, tasting, transport) must be clearly explained in the listing summary.
  • When a Nomad books a time slot, they reserve it exclusively for themselves and their group.
  • A Host never mixes Nomads from different groups in the same slot. Example: if Nomad X books from 3 PM to 7 PM, Nomad Y must choose another slot.
  • If you’re available all day, block several distinct slots to welcome multiple groups, and receive one payout for each.
  • Both Hosts and Nomads act with kindness, in the chat and in person.
  • Nohô reserves the right to remove a listing and ban any member who doesn’t follow these rules.

These rules aren’t constraints they protect what makes Nohô possible: trust.

 

How do I prepare my first encounter as a Host?

A few tips drawn from the experience of our best Hosts:

  • Chat with your Nomad before the encounter. Ask a few questions, understand where their curiosity comes from. You’ll start already connected.
  • Prepare your space, without overdoing it. Tidy up, that’s all. Nomads are coming to see your world as it really is.
  • Think of a thread, not a schedule. A Nohô encounter isn’t a timed workshop. Leave room for questions, tangents, silences.
  • Be yourself. You don’t have to perform. Your authenticity is exactly what made the Nomad want to come.

The rest will come naturally.

Can a Host become a Nomad?

Of course, and it’s a beautiful way to discover worlds other than your own. Just book a listing from another Host on the platform, like any Nomad.

Many of our Hosts are also Nomads. This circulation of passions, this cross-perspective, is the spirit of the Nohô community.

Do I have to declare the payouts I receive as a Host?

Yes, in principle. The amounts paid out to you by Nohô for your encounters are considered income from providing a service, not from selling personal goods. They are therefore generally taxable starting from the first euro, regardless of the total amount earned over the year.

There is a threshold (€2,000 or 30 encounters per year) above which Nohô is legally required to automatically report your income to the tax authorities, under the European DAC7 directive. Below this threshold, you are still required to declare these amounts yourself if you are subject to taxation.

To find out exactly which rules apply to your situation (tax bracket, deductions, micro-entrepreneur status…), we recommend checking your personal account on impots.gouv.fr or consulting a tax professional.
