It varies by company, and a percentage tells you little until you know what it pays for. bnbHost charges 22% per booking, and property insurance is included. What the fee is worked out on varies by contract: the exact terms are in your management agreement, and we walk you through them in your free property review.
What the 22% pays for
All nine of our services, run by one company:
- Finding guests. Booking management and listing SEO: we write and keep your listing current, answer guest enquiries and keep your calendar in order.
- Pricing. Your nightly price set and adjusted through the seasons and around local events.
- First impressions. Professional photography, and a welcome book for every guest.
- Between stays. Cleaning and laundry, property maintenance and key exchange.
- The licence side. Licensing support: help with the paperwork your area asks for, and the number shown on your listing.
Compare what you hand over, not just the rate
Put the same question to every manager you weigh: what does the fee cover, and what will I still do myself? With us, guests come to us, not to you, and you get your time back. Our questions to ask a property manager give you the full list, with our answers.
What stays with you
- The say over your home. How you want to use it, who it suits and what guests may use, agreed with you before the first booking.
Questions owners ask
Can you tell me what my home will earn? We do not promise an amount. We work to get your home booked and priced well, and at the review we tell you straight what we think it can do.
Does the review cost anything? No. The property review is free, and asking for one signs you up to nothing.
