How much does a co host get paid?

[Chad-and-Noel0]

Hi,

My husband and i have a listing but we are going to be very bussy in the future months and we were thinking in getting someone to co host our place while we are busy or out of town?

Our question is;

How much does a co host gets paid? 

Thanks in advance !

Hi Tom,

I have the exact same question. Many times I can take care of things myself, but when I go on vacation and have multiple groups of guests staying, I have found a co-host to come clean/get the house ready after the first guests leave. But she would only be paid a percentage of the total payment of the guests that she was cleaning up after, not for all reservations. (I'm doing all the communicating with guests, etc., so her payment would only be tied to the guests with the reservation that she's cleaning up after.) I don't see a way to invite her only for specific reservations. Have you been able to get any further information about how to do this?

Thanks!

Hi Jacqui,

I still have not found a solution for this within the platform. We just had to settle up with our co-host off book as it were. Have you learned anything else? -Tom

Hi Tom,

I talked to someone at Airbnb and they said that they did not have an option to only select a co-host for specific reservations, that the co-host would be added to every reservation automatically. (This was a few months ago, so maybe there have been changes since then, but that was the last I heard!) So, I'm going to remove her as a co-host on the site, and just work offline to figure out payment.

With removing the payment option, this is now possible.

So as a co-host, do each co-host booking go towards the $20,000 plus over 200 reservations to get a 1099 rule? i.e. would each reservation I co-host go towards those figures? you say the co-host does everything but pay the taxes...just curious how this works. Thanks
