“Working with Hostahome has been genuinely hands-off. From onboarding to day-to-day management, everything has been handled professionally. Communication is quick, and they've been proactive in dealing with any issues that come up. The property has been consistently occupied and performing well. Would definitely recommend to other landlords looking for a reliable and transparent management company.”

“Hostahome have been managing my London property as a short-let and I've been really impressed with how organised the whole process has been. What I've valued most is the communication. I'm kept updated without having to chase, and it feels like the property is being properly looked after rather than just listed and left. The team have handled the guest messages, cleaning arrangements and general management in a professional way, which has made things much easier for me as the owner. I'd recommend Hostahome to any landlord looking for reliable Airbnb management in London.”

Reach the right guests.

We distribute suitable properties across more than 20 booking and distribution sources, selecting channels around your property and its likely guests.

Channel eligibility is property-specific. Some sources shown here are partner or corporate-housing networks with their own acceptance criteria, so not every property is eligible for every channel.

What full-service short-let management actually covers

How owners and managers share responsibilities — and what to ask before appointing a provider.

Your questions, answered.

What is included in Airbnb management?

Hostahome manages listings and presentation, pricing, distribution, booking coordination, guest communication, cleaning and turnover coordination, maintenance coordination, and owner reporting. The same complete management service is included on every agreement option.

How much does it cost, and is there a minimum term?

Management is 20% of booking revenue on a rolling agreement with no minimum term, 18% for six months, or 15% for twelve months. The service is the same on each option. Property-specific operating costs and the final scope are agreed during the property review.

Is my property suitable for short-let management?

Suitability depends on the property, location, likely guests, access, presentation and any relevant property or building rules. We review these points before recommending an operating approach, and not every property is accepted for management.

Which UK areas do you cover?

We manage and review properties across selected UK short-let markets. Our locations page shows current active management areas, but you can still request a review elsewhere. Coverage and suitability are assessed for each property rather than assumed from the postcode alone.

Who handles guests, cleaning and maintenance?

Hostahome handles guest communication for active stays 24 hours a day, seven days a week, coordinates cleaning and turnovers, and follows up issues found between stays. When maintenance is needed, we coordinate approved local trades or specialists. Significant work is brought to you for approval before it proceeds.

How do I see bookings and statements, and approve significant work?

The Owner Portal gives you access to bookings, the property calendar and statements. Hostahome manages the day-to-day operation, while significant maintenance work is brought to you for approval so you retain oversight of important property decisions.

Where will my property be advertised?

Suitable properties are distributed across major and specialist booking channels, with direct booking also available. The exact mix is selected for the property, its location, likely guests and operating model. Not every property is eligible for every channel.

What happens after I request a property review?

A member of the team reviews the property information you provide, including its location and operating requirements. We then follow up personally with a clear recommendation, discuss the appropriate scope and agreement, and confirm the final rate and property-specific costs before anything is signed.
