Definitions of a Co-Host
What are
co-hosts are responsible for?
●
Co-hosting generally refers to
anything “Guest services”
●
Operating and updating the online
platforms.
●
Replying to guest inquiries and
bookings.
●
Working with cleaners to make sure
the property is clean and ready for incoming guests plus inspected and cleaned
after outgoing guests.
●
Communication with cleaners to
make sure the job is done on time, to the best standard and that the property
is accurately assessed for reviews.
●
Overseeing guest arrivals and
departures.
●
Handling any guests queries they
have during their stay.
●
Some provision to act on
maintenance issues by engaging a trades person (at the owners consult/cost).
Price: (Co-hosting payment is an agreed percentage of the reservation total,
for a per-determined time frame and is negotiated and depends on what the owner
requires the host to do). Cleaning is typically an additional “cost” charged to
guests at the time of booking and paid directly to cleaners by the owner.
Additional
services available and consulting for set up.
●
Setting up your online listings on HomeAway and Airbnb (this is a separate chargeable cost of at least $250 for each
platform – more depending if owner requires training on the platforms as well) Photos are to be provided by owner
●
Consulting and practical advice to
owner re: what makes a good listing/shortstay home that can best attract
guests. This includes instruction on how to research into competition on
pricing, occupancy and comparable amenities. Advice and help with engagement of
professional photos, styling and staging professionals. Air-conditioning. Insurance.
Wifi. Advice on quality, practical and functional furniture, linen and
amenities. Shopping Lists etc (This consult is typically charged @ $60 per hour
starting with a one on one meet and greet with owner at the property, for an
assessment/consult of approx 3 hours).Travel time to properties is an additional cost.
Price: (the cost for additional services is usually on an “as needed” basis
depending on the help required by owner). NOTE: Online setup can sometimes be
negotiated into the co-host percentage.
What
co-hosts are definitely NOT responsible for:
●
The actual physical setup of the
property, furnishing or styling.
●
The final decisions the owner
makes, in regards to any advice given regarding property setup, purchase of
furnishings and amenities supplied etc and its impact on bookings.
●
Getting bookings – bookings are
only generated with the online sites listed above and can be enhanced by the
quality and presentation of the home in professional photos, along with price,
location and reviews.
●
Setting prices – decisions on
nightly rates remains with the owner (check comparable).
●
Occupancy - this is obviously the
biggest concern and also the greatest unknown. Occupancy can only be earned and is never guaranteed. In our experience, being able to give guests the
best experience possible creates better occupancy which should increase over
time with good reviews and repeat guests.
●
The behavior and actions of guests
in regards to staying at the property or the feedback, opinions or reviews they
give.
●
Any financial or tax implications
arising with the ownership, income and running costs of a shortstay co-hosted
property.
The
bottom line:
You are now in the hospitality game. Be
prepared to give guests the best possible experience, or find another game. You
will not succeed in the short stay industry if you are looking to shortcut
everything. Your guests will know it and they will react by simply booking
elsewhere. Underwhelming guests will ultimately ruin our industry, so please
don’t start this unless you are fully informed and prepared for anything!
Hosting is not easy nor for the faint hearted!

properties as a shortstay. Owners are required to check and abide with local
councils and bylaws to ensure the compliance of their short stay, prior to any
listing going live. Owners must acknowledge and understand that the

control over any financial outcomes.

Occupancy is based on quality of product, presentation, servicing,
competition, nightly rates, season and location of property.
