Luckily, running an Airbnb is much easier with a co-hosting service. An Airbnb agency allows you to take a hands-off approach while running a rental property. Depending on the agency, you can take advantage of a variety of services, like professional cleaning, marketing, and 24-hour guest support.

To find out if Airbnb co-hosting is right for you, read on to learn what co-hosting is and how to find the best Airbnb management for your property.

What Does Airbnb Do?

Airbnb is a network of short-let properties belonging to private owners. Accommodations range from single rooms to full homes, and there's a high probability you can find them almost anywhere in the world.

Staying in an Airbnb is a great alternative to staying in a hotel because there's a wide range of options to fit a variety of budgets. Airbnbs tend to be cheaper than hotels whilst still offering all essential amenities. 

Moreover, you can easily become an Airbnb host if you have a spare room, apartment, or home you'd like to short-let. It's a unique way to supplement your income.

What's Airbnb Co-Hosting?

A co-host is someone that helps take care of your rental property for a percentage of the profit. This can be a friend, a family member, or a co-hosting service like Pass the Keys.

Airbnb allows up to three co-hosts per property, so you never have to do the job alone. You can decide how to split responsibilities and profits, so you never do more work than you can handle.

What to Look For in an Airbnb Agency

There are lots of Airbnb services, and each one offers unique benefits. What you look for depends on what you need. Here's a list of services you can expect from a typical Airbnb agency:

Cleaning and Maintenance

Many travellers worry about catching illnesses from hotel rooms, but the privacy of an Airbnb combined with cleaning services eliminates this threat. With the help of a co-hosting service, you'll receive professional Airbnb cleaners to make sure your property always looks its best. You never have to deal with the mess, and a cleaning service guarantees that your property is always sanitary for the next guest.

In addition, cleaners can restock necessary items, like toiletries, when they run low, and alert you of any guest damage. Most agencies include repair services as well. The job of an Airbnb hosting service is to ensure that your guests always have a safe and comfortable experience.

Guest Support

Guest support can range from greeting guests at Airbnb homes to answering questions and assisting check-in. When your guests arrive, you know they'll receive the best service at any time of day.

This allows you peace of mind when you're not available for your guests. Sometimes you can't be present when your guests arrive in the early morning or the middle of the night, so a co-host can be a vital tool for running an Airbnb.

Manage Listings

A professional Airbnb co-host will often take care of your listings to ensure maximum profit. They can take professional photos of your property, establish a competitive pricing strategy, and fill any vacancies or last-minute cancellations.
