I have a Airbnb account set up from last year when I was renting out my place for airbnb.  This year My sister and I have decided to relist the space and she is going to manage it because I am often away.  I reposted my space a few days ago and have already about 10 bokings for the next 2-3 months.  I want to add my sister to the account so she can view the bookings and manage the airbnb account or just switch out and have her be the primary host.  Im not sure how to replace her as the host for this account.

  • May be some one else has something nicer to tell you. I believe just put her email and phone numbers instead yours or redirect the messages from yourself to her.

You can not replace, if she wants to be the primary she needs to start from scratch.

Hi David, as I mention below, last year I posted the listing I manage on behalf of my mum who did not have an account nor did she know how to use airbnb. I made her a co-host and taught her everything I know. I would like her to be a host now since she is actually the owner of the property, takes the payment and pays taxes. Is it not possible to switch the listing so that we do not lose all reviews and ratings?

AirBnB is a host  based system so the reviews are yours.

Hi,

 

Is this still the case? My girlfriend and I co-host our spare room and as I do the majority of the hosting we wanted to swap me from co-host to be the main host.

 

Thanks,

 

Jack

I would be interested in that too. Last year I posted the listing I manage on behalf of my mum who did not have an account nor did she know how to use airbnb. I made her a co-host and taught her everything I know. I would like her to be a host now since she is actually the owner of the property, takes the payment and pays taxes.

I'm having the same situation as you had. What became of the listing? Did you get the host tranfered, or did you have to create a new listing of the property?

There seem to be issues with the co-host functionality.  I'm not getting all the updates and when I call Airbnb, they ask for the hosts permission to talk with me.  That's not going to fly anymore.  I'm taking over, I'm paying the bills, or my name will be Karin. Seems like an easy coding fix.
