If you're an owner with an established Airbnb or looking to start an Airbnb and you just need a bit of assistance, we've got your back.

No Lock-In Contract.
Flexibility is our point of difference! Owners can rest easy knowing they're not locked into a 6-month or 12-month contract, we want to take the stress out of it. HostyCo offers a no lock-in contract: Sign up, stay as long as you like and then depart when you like with no exit fees. We just require you to honor your remaining bookings.

Your Property = Your Listing
*Varies with platform
Our Partner Program is designed for flexibility. The key feature of our Co-Hosting arrangement is that at the end of your working relationship with HostyCo, owners will have the ability to leave with their listings and reviews*. How do we do this?
Airbnb: We will create the owner an account under their email and list the property under that account. The owner retains that account thereafter.
Booking.com: We list your property under the HostyCo Booking.com account. Listings are transferable for when your management ends.
Stayz: We would list your property under our HostyCo account. Listings are non-transferable but we can transfer the reviews when your management ends.
Direct: We would be unable to transfer your listing or reviews taken on our direct booking website. HostyCo retains this platform but would delete your listing.
Other: Any listings and reviews under Google, accessible accommodation etc would need to be deleted when your management ends.
Your
Owner Portal
Keep track of your property and you bookings with full visability.
We want our owners to feel secure and have full visibility of their calendars. We've partnered with Hostaway to ensure owners can log into their own portal and have access to:
