What is an Airbnb Co-Host?
An Airbnb Co-Host is a partner who helps manage rental properties. Their duties can include guest communication, check-ins, cleaning, maintenance, and pricing strategies. The specific tasks depend on the agreement between the host and the co-host. This role allows hosts to delegate responsibilities, ensuring the property is well-managed and guests have a positive experience. Co-Hosts can be friends, family, or professionals, tailored to the needs of the property owner.
“Just like QuickBooks needs an accountant, dynamic pricing software needs a revenue manager. Buying Wheelhouse doesn’t make you a revenue expert—that’s where Revy comes in.”
– Connor, Managing Partner of Revy
What Tasks do Co-Hosts Perform?
Co-Hosts can handle a variety of tasks, such as:
- Guest readiness (cleaning, restocking)
- Listing management (creating and updating listings)
- Communication (managing guest messages and reservations)
- Maintenance (handling repairs and general upkeep)
- Guest services (greeting guests and resolving issues)
- Revenue management (optimizing pricing)
If you plan on having your co-host handle all the tasks mentioned above then they will likely expect a commission between 20 – 30%. However, if you hire them for specific tasks only, a lower percentage may suffice. At Revy, our focus is solely on maximizing your revenue through expert revenue management, for which we charge a 5% commission. This specialization ensures that you earn more without the need to manage every aspect of your Airbnb business yourself.
