Simplify your Airbnb management with a co-host!

Managing the entireorganization of your Bnb rental can be a real headache. While renting out your property to other people can help you make money, it also requires a well-honed sense of organization (welcoming travelers, handing over keys, cleaning…). Sometimes we’d like to be able to take on two people to make things easier! But what if we told you it was possible? Today we’d like to introduce you to “co-hosts“, your best ally for your BnB rental!

First of all, let’s analyze the word “co-host”. Does it remind you of the word teammate? Bingo! A co-host is a partner whose mission is to support you in managing your rental and your travellers. But who can be a co-host? There’s no limit, just mutual agreement. So it’s a good idea to ask someone you can rely on (family, friend, neighbor…). If you don’t know anyone in your circle who can play this role, you can probably find someone on the Airbnb community forum.

You remain the main manager, and the co-host is your assistant in the Airbnb rental. His/her mission: to replace you on tasks you won’t be able to perform. Your co-host can also help you with :

• Ad creation and updating
• Preparing the accommodation (restocking supplies, cleaning, repairs, bedding, etc.)
• Welcoming and assisting travelers (handing over keys, questions, problems…)
• Communicating and managing traveler feedback
• Reservations management

To give someone co-host status, simply add them to your Airbnb listing by following this tutorial.

With a co-host, managing your rentals becomes much simpler! However, it’s essential to choose someone you can trust to avoid any disputes.
