How co-hosting works on Airbnb

According to Airbnb's Help Center, a listing owner can invite co-hosts to help manage the listing, respond to inquiries and message booked guests. Owner and co-host should agree on who does what, how earnings are split and how expenses are reimbursed. You stay the owner of the listing.

FAQ

What is an Airbnb co-host?

Airbnb lets a listing owner invite co-hosts to help run a listing, for example managing the listing, responding to inquiries or messaging booked guests. The owner and co-host agree on who does what, how earnings are split and how expenses are reimbursed.

Co-host or full-service manager: which do I need?

If you want to stay involved and only hand off certain jobs, such as messaging or turnovers, a co-host arrangement can fit. If you want to be fully hands-off, full-service management is usually the better fit. We talk through both on a free call.

How much does a co-host cost?

Fees are set by whoever does the hosting and depend on the services included. Our local hosting partner walks you through their fees before you agree to anything. The intro call is free.

Can you guarantee bookings or income?

No. Nobody can honestly guarantee short-term rental income.
