What does booking management include?

Booking management typically includes handling enquiries, confirming reservations, managing calendars and availability, coordinating guest communications around booking details, and overseeing booking-related updates across listing channels.

Do you manage bookings across multiple platforms?

Yes. Booking management can include distributing your listing across multiple booking channels and managing reservations centrally to reduce the risk of double bookings.

How do you prevent double bookings?

Calendar and availability management is used to keep dates aligned across booking channels, helping to prevent overlapping reservations.

Who handles guest communication for booking changes?

The booking management team handles guest messaging relating to booking confirmation, amendments, arrival information and general booking queries.

Do you manage cancellations and refunds?

Yes. Booking management can include handling cancellations, amendments and refund processes in line with platform policies and the property’s booking rules.

Will I be able to see bookings and performance?

Yes. Booking management commonly includes owner visibility of reservations and performance reporting, so you can track activity and results.

Can I block dates for personal use?

Yes. Owners can usually reserve dates for personal use by blocking availability in advance, which is then reflected across booking channels.

Excellent location. Lovely property. Very comfortable beds. Great communication. Highly recommended.

Avoid Costly Mistakes

Gone are the days when being an Airbnb host was simple, not to mention manageable for hosts who could set up a renal listing quickly, exchange a few emails with potential guests and then charge them to stay in their home for a short period.

But today, the Airbnb market has become so competitive that hosts cannot afford to be mediocre. To be successful in this game, Airbnb needs to be your new career path – and for some, this is not possible. Enter HelloGuest.

Airbnb Management Accelerates Business Growth – Turn Lookers Into Bookers!

As your Airbnb business grows and you gradually begin to build and record higher profits and occupancy rates, you might find that your job as a host becomes more overwhelming.

As experienced Airbnb managers (and owners), this development is not surprising.

We know that running an Airbnb business involves an immense investment in money and time, and hosts are forced to utilise every second of their day to stay ahead of their business operations and fierce competition.

Work smarter

When running your Airbnb becomes too much, HelloGuest saves the day. We use effective Airbnb strategies that streamline daily and recurring tasks, including responding to guest messages, adjusting rental prices, managing cleaning, and much more.

One common mistake Airbnb hosts make is assuming that property managers are only for large, extremely successful vacation rental companies. However, such an assumption is false and can cost them money in the long term to satisfy their guests.

Take Your Bookings To The Next Level

We’re experts in scaling up Airbnb businesses – it’s what we do best. We set the stage to enable, support and sustain the growth of your short-let business without necessarily incurring any additional and significant costs.

In other words, we’re a cost-effective solution to grow your business in terms of revenue and booking rates.

But that’s not all we do. As part of our 12% fee, we take over the day-to-day running of your entire Airbnb business, including handling refunds and cancellations, collecting deposits, managing negative reviews, and encouraging hundreds of positive ones.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. 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.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. 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.

Cancellations and refunds. More.
Securing 5 Star Reviews every time. More.
