Do you have a Co-host, or are you a Co-host yourself?

[Quincy]

Hello everyone,

Having extra help with hosting can sometimes be fundamental to offer an excellent service. This is where a Co-host could play a very important role for Hosts. Delegating activities such as check-in, check-out, cleaning or responding to guest messages could be some of the tasks you as a Host could pass on to your Co-host. 

I have seen conversations regarding Co-hosting, with topics varying from those looking for Co-hosting services to discussions about how much commission one should pay to their Co-hosts, and even how Hosts manage their Co-hosts. 

Do you have a Co-host for your listing(s), or are you a Co-host yourself? Have you considered using one (or multiple) on a temporary basis? 

I look forward to reading your replies!

No Cohost, I handle everything myself with the help of my cleaners.

[Rhoda29]

Yes I have a co-host. My daughter helps me with both our listings.

I’m good doing it by myself with a little helb from my husband. I have just one listing whic is near to my home. So it is not too bad for now.

Yes, I have co-host who is family member,  Yes, I might need a co-host when we go on trip .  I  used Turno to try to get help from the cleaning person, but the cheapest price without doing bedding was $110.  I have a 2 bedroom, 2 bath 800 sqft apartment unit.  I only list between $110 t0 $150 and charge a clean fee $ 65.  How can I pay the cleaner $110 - 150 each time?   

Thanks,

Kathy

Hello everyone 

currently live in the USA , my villa is in jamaica , so I handle all the bookings and communication from guest , hire a professional host to check in guest and provide them with the best services that we offers at our ocean view villa .

I do have a co-host. This helps a lot when I’m unavailable to answer questions or respond to a need.  I’m lucky though due to the fact this is my son who helps manage it. 

[Kevin2752]

I do it all myself. I had a co-host and property manager at different points in time, but doing it myself is the only way to maintain a 5-star experience for my guests.

I’m good doing it by myself. I have just one listing. So it is not too bad

Hello Fellows, Thanks for inviting me to share my experience!

Well, At the start of my hosting journey, I was lucky enough to have my daughter as a co-host.  I could not have even considered hosting without her. She provided me with invaluable support, and in appreciation, I designed a commission cheque for her for every visit, I named it from "Mummy Organization 🤗", which was so funny!

We went through several enjoyable moments, stressful situations, valuable lessons, and successful achievements, all together.

Unfortunately, her summer vacation came to an end last year and I have been hosting on my own since then, which has been exhausting!

Let me tell you that having a co-host is essential, particularly if they are trustworthy, reliable, and an excellent communicator.

Wishing you a great hosting experience! 🌿

Hello @Inas120, It's lovely to hear that your daughter has been so supportive! Will she be coming to help you out anytime soon? 😊

[Adnan97]

Good luck to the entire Airbnb family,
I own a house I own a house I am in the business of renting rooms.

[Quincy]

Welcome to the Community Center @Adnan97! Do you make use of multiple co-hosts? 🙂

[Inas120]

Hello Quincy, yes, hopefully, she will complete her final exams soon and have some free time to join me again. ‌‌

[Michelle3479]

I don’t have a co-host as I have quite a few friends who can support f I am away or can’t get to the property to let the guest in. So I guess they are unofficial Co-hosts!

[Quincy]

That's great to hear @Michelle3479. I had my cousin help me out on numerous occasions! 

How long have they been helping you with hosting tasks for? 

[Michelle3479]

Probably for about 2 years now.

[Evelyn918]

I am new to the rental room business.  I am not a co-host. I am not sure what a co-cost does nor what one would charge  for their services. 

I have read a little on co-host but I  didn't finish advertisement.

Welcome to the Airbnb family @Evelyn918! Co-Hosts help Hosts to take care of their home and guests depending on which tasks you want to assign them. More info on what a Co-host is can be found here 👀 

Also, since you mentioned that you're still setting up your listing, I thought I'd share this very helpful article 👈 which is about asking for listing critique on the Community should you wish to receive some tips and feedback on your listing 😊
