Co-Hosts help listing owners take care of their home and guests. They’re often a family member, neighbour, trusted friend or someone the Host has hired to help with the listing. Hosts can always contact Co-Hosts by phone or email.
What is a Co-Host?
If you’re a primary Host, you can add a team – including a Co-Host or hosting team – to your listing for some extra help. These teammates are often trusted friends, partners or someone from a professional team who can help you do things like manage your listing, respond to enquiries or message booked guests so you can focus on other things.
The difference between Co-Hosts and hosting teams
There are two ways to get support hosting on Airbnb: Hosting teams and Co-Hosts.
Co-Hosts can support Hosts in different ways, so permissions can be set up for each Co-Host to choose what they can access and manage on your listing.
We asked top-rated Hosts and Co-Hosts for their best tips for working together to provide wonderful stays for their guests.
The experienced Co-Host services platform is available in select countries worldwide to Hosts who are looking for hosting support from experienced Co-Hosts and Hosts.
Management tools for Co-Hosts
As a Co-Host, you’ll need the listing owner to add you to their listing. Hosts and Co-Hosts need to communicate well and be clear about:
- Hosting responsibilities: Who does what
- Earnings: How much of the reservation income goes to the Co-Host
- Expenses: How the Co-Host will be reimbursed
