Host and Co-Host

[Mario620]

Hi All,

I have a question about host and co-host.

I am trying to help a friend who doesn't speak english. She has a property in Italy, in an area mostly visited by foreigners.

If she creates the listing, as Listing Amd and primary host, and then she names me "co host" will her property show in my profile as a property I manage?

Thanks a lot!

Regards,

Mario

@Mario620Yes it will show up under your profile, but you won't get any reviews for it. You will also get all communication from guests, but you won't get any information regarding payouts. 

Here's a helpful list of everything a co-host can do, and what they can't:

Thanks a lot, Alexandra! This is very helpful.

Such a collaboration might help my friend to improve communication and increase visibility because I am a superhost and already have many reviews; it might help me as well since now I "offer" 2 villas. Should one be busy, they might switch to the other.

What do you think? Do I see this the right way?

Thank again.

@Mario620I'm not sure if it will affect visibility, but I don't think it would hurt, and if you're willing to help her with communication, that's certainly a plus. Airbnb does have automatic translation, but I've found that the results can be pretty strange. And you never know: potential guests may click on your profile and check out your places as well.
