Our Property Management Costs & Fees

We offer some of the most competitive rates in today’s short-let market. At HelloGuest, our commission for short-let management across the UK is from 12%, which means our local partners get to keep up to 88% of their revenue.

Our commission explained

HelloGuest is an award-winning Airbnb property management company that charges a commission only on net rental income. Not cleaning fees or other passing costs.

This means our percentage fee is based on the rental income you actually receive from bookings, not the full amount guests pay, putting more in your back pocket. 

In addition, our contracts are flexible, with no fixed-term commitment. You’re free to cancel at any time, so you can use HelloGuest as long as it works for you.

If you’re switching to HelloGuest from another short-let manager, we won’t take a commission on your existing bookings. Learn more about the onboarding process.

I genuinely couldn’t recommend HelloGuest more highly. From start to finish they were professional, organised and incredibly responsive. The team consistently replied within minutes whenever I had a question, and nothing ever felt too much trouble. That level of attentiveness makes a huge difference when you’re managing a property. Veronica in particular was exceptional. Calm, clear, and completely on top of everything. It was obvious she genuinely cares about both owners and guests, and she always handled situations efficiently and thoughtfully. The operational side was seamless – listings were managed properly, communication with guests was smooth, pricing and availability were handled intelligently, and the reporting was transparent and easy to understand. I always felt fully informed and supported. If you’re looking for a management company that is responsive, professional and genuinely proactive, HelloGuest are exactly that. Thank you Veronica (owner) and the whole team – it’s been a pleasure working with you.

Great place to stay. Has everything you need and tucked away nicely so it’s private and quiet. Much better than booking a hotel. We will definitely use again.

I have been using this outstanding agency since April 2022. First class. They have zero staff turnover which says everything. Best of the 3 short let agencies I have used by such a distance it is simply embarrassing. They won an award last year as the best AIRBNB agency in Northern Europe. I was not in the least bit surprised. They keep my stunning property spotless.

How much does your Airbnb management service cost?

Our full-service Airbnb management starts from 12% excl. VAT. Many other Airbnb management companies charge considerably more, while HelloGuest has built efficient, localised UK operational hubs that allow us to keep our management fees competitive.

How can HelloGuest charge from 12%?

We’ve spent more than 10 years building efficient, localised operational hubs rather than relying on expensive corporate overheads. This allows us to offer full-service Airbnb management from 12% without adding mark-ups on cleaning, inflated service charges or bundled extras.

What does the management fee include?

Our management fee covers the day-to-day work required to run a successful short-term rental, including listing and booking management, guest communication, check-in and check-out, pricing and listing optimisation, property management, professional cleaning and ongoing support.

What does your commission apply to?

Our commission is charged on net rental income only. We don’t add mark-ups to cleaning costs, inflated service charges or unnecessary bundled extras.

How do you manage bookings and guests?

Whether you already have a live listing or need us to create one, we’ll help get your property in a position to attract bookings. We manage bookings, guest communication, check-in and check-out, as well as your property’s visibility across short-stay booking platforms.

Where will my property be advertised?

We can manage your property’s visibility across 40+ short-stay booking platforms, helping you reach a wider audience while we manage your bookings and availability.

Do you manage the property as well as the bookings?

Yes. We take care of the wider management of your property and treat it like a boutique hotel. That means keeping on top of damage, wear and tear and repairs, as well as working with independent local contractors who can step in when required.

What cleaners do you work with, and is cleaning included?

HelloGuest works with local cleaning companies in your area that can provide same-day service and fast turnarounds. We manage and train our cleaning partners to meet the high standards your guests will expect when staying in your Airbnb. Your fee covers the cleaning costs for your property between stays.

Do I still have control over my property?

Yes. You can control your calendar, decide when your property is available and set your own house rules, while HelloGuest takes care of the day-to-day work involved in managing the property and its guests.

Are there any onboarding costs?

Depending on your property’s condition and location, there may be some onboarding costs. For example, we may need to arrange new photography (free for some UK locations) or a deep clean before accepting bookings. Other factors can include linen, bed sheets, bath towels, amenities and appliances.

Will there be any other costs?

In some cases, fixed fees may apply to individual reservations to cover administration or logistical costs. We’ll make you aware of any applicable additional costs during onboarding.

How and when will I be paid?

We collect booking payments and deposits on your behalf, and your earnings are paid directly into your chosen bank account. At the end of each rental month, you’ll also receive a report detailing your bookings, earnings and relevant expenses.

Will I be locked into a contract?

No. HelloGuest has no fixed-term contracts, so you can cancel at any time. You will need to honour or cancel any existing upcoming bookings, and it’s worth bearing in mind that it can take a few months to unlock the full earning potential of a property.

What about insurance?

HelloGuest does not provide property insurance as an additional service. However, booking platforms such as Airbnb may provide their own host protection or insurance cover, so you should check the terms of the platforms your property is listed on.

How quickly can my property go live?

Once onboarding is complete, your booking availability has been set and your listing is live, your property will be ready to start accepting bookings.
