Hosted property management takes the stress out of running a short-term rental. Instead of handling guests, cleaning, and pricing yourself, a team manages everything. It’s ideal for Airbnb hosts who want great occupancy and happy guests without the admin. Many Airbnb management services offer this as a full service, letting owners focus on results. With expert support, your property runs smoothly, earns strong reviews, and stays under your control without being hands-on.
How hosted property management works
Hosted property management is a joint venture. You own the property, and your property management company is your co-host. They take care of the day-to-day operations from listing optimisation to guest communication and turn-over.

What hosted managers actually do
Your hosted manager begins by assessing your property and setting the right pricing for your area and season. They create appealing listings with quality photos and keep your booking calendar in sync to avoid double bookings. They handle check-ins, guest support, and follow-ups while tracking key metrics like response times and reviews. This consistency builds trust, strengthens your reputation, and drives more bookings.
Costs and returns
Hosted property management usually operates on a commission basis, in which the manager takes a percentage of your revenue from bookings. That way, they’re successful based on you. Reading through the service agreement is important. Some property management firms charge setup fees or cleaning fees, while others include them in the package. A good, hosted staff will give you simple reports with occupancy rates and revenue so you can see growth over time.
Who benefits the most
Hosted property management is perfect for Airbnb hosts with no time or even hosts who are abroad and want a reliable local team. It is also perfect for property hosts expanding from one unit to several units. If you value dependability, professional service, and higher returns, it is a simple choice. You get hosting perks without the daily hassle.
