Airbnb is making it easier for hosts to find someone to manage their Airbnb. The new “Co-Host Network,” which is available starting today, lets you compare co-hosts and work with the co-hosts that you hire right inside the app. Third-party Airbnb management companies are quite common already, but a co-host network directly in the Airbnb app could be a more convenient option for some users.
Co-hosts can help with things like managing your listing and messaging guests that have booked at your Airbnb. Hosts are also able to choose from a range of payout options for their co-hosts, such as a cleaning fee, a percentage per booking, or a fixed amount. Airbnb has been piloting a co-hosting hiring service for “several years,” reports, but this new release marks its availability in the app and its expansion to countries like the US, Canada, and the UK.
“With more than 10,000 co-hosts across 10 countries, we’re making it easy to find the best co-host for you,” Airbnb says in a blog post. “Our personalized ranking algorithm recommends a list of co-hosts based on more than 80 factors, including your location, hosting experience, and type of home. You’ll see their profile and reviews, and you can connect with them right in the app.
” Airbnb says its new 2024 Winter Release also includes “over 50 upgrades for guests,” including suggested destinations when you tap the search bar, personalized listing highlights, and a redesigned checkout page..
