First AirBnB, multiple owners

[Robert8416]

I’ve searched the community and couldn’t find a topic related to my question.

How many hosts and co-hosts can you have on a  property? 

My wife and I just purchased a condo with another couple. Can all four of us be on the app as hosts of the property?

We do have an LLC for our partnership, would it be better to just make a business profile for AirBnB and list it under that?

@Robert8416 Can't answer your question BUT you could have one person from each couple as the host and co-host then their partner just share the password with them.

Hi @Robert8416, you can create a listing in your account (for example) and add all other people as co-hosts to your listing.

Airbnb rules allow you to invite up to 10 co-hosts per listing.

You will all be able to manage bookings and communicate with guests (depending on the permissions the listing owner has given to each specific co-host). 

You can find more information and detailed instructions here:

Hi @Robert8416 ,

On Airbnb, you can indeed have multiple hosts and co-hosts for a single property. Specifically, there can be one primary host (the account holder who listed the property) and up to 10 co-hosts.

Please see article as reference:

This arrangement means that both you and your wife, along with the other couple, can manage the property directly on the Airbnb platform, with one of you registered as the main host and the others as co-hosts. Each co-host can have permissions set by the main host to handle things like messaging guests, managing reservations, and updating calendar dates.

Regarding your situation with an LLC, creating a business profile on Airbnb can be advantageous if you plan to expand your hosting activities or maintain a clear separation between personal and business finances and responsibilities. A business profile can help streamline your operations and may present your listing more professionally to potential guests. This is particularly useful if you intend to manage multiple properties under your LLC or want to establish stronger credibility in the rental market.

When setting up your Airbnb listing, ensure that all involved parties understand their roles and responsibilities, and configure the access permissions accordingly to avoid any operational overlaps or conflicts. This approach will help maintain a smooth management process for your new condo.

I hope this helps.

All the best,

Upfish Management
