Transient houses in the Philippines are almost always priced per property rather than per person, meaning guests pay a flat nightly rate for the entire home regardless of how many people are in the group, up to the maximum allowed capacity. This structure makes transient houses significantly more economical for families and groups compared to hotels, which typically charge per room or per person. The total capacity and corresponding rate are indicated on each listing at Transienthome.com, so guests can easily calculate the cost per head before booking.
