Why You Should Entrust Your Holiday Home to an Airbnb Service Company

An Airbnb service company manages the relationship between the homeowner and the temporary tenant. This takes the on-the-ground responsibilities away from the homeowner - essential when they do not live near their holiday home. It may also be preferred if the owner has multiple properties which they are renting at once, or they simply want to get their weekends back without dealing with their guests’ queries.

Airbnb has risen to prominence in seemingly no time at all. For travellers, it's provided places to stay worldwide that expand beyond the typical hotel or hostel. Renters also have opened up their homes to offer guests an authentic way of experiencing their respective cities.

Valued at $100 billion, Airbnb is a massive market, rich with money-making potential for hosts. But the stress and demands of hosting have led many hosts to turn to Airbnb service companies.

An Airbnb service company such as Bachcare, manages the relationship between the homeowner and the temporary tenant. This takes the on-the-ground responsibilities away from the homeowner - essential when they do not live near their holiday home.

It may also be preferred if the owner has multiple properties which they are renting at once, or they simply want to get their weekends back without dealing with their guests’ queries.

So, what are the benefits of enlisting your holiday home with an Airbnb service company? Well, let us take a closer look.

Cleaning and Essentials

Booking with Airbnb is a two-way street—the owner provides a comfortable living space with necessary accommodations, and the travellers respect the home by keeping everything in the same condition they found it. 

Of course, most people on vacation do not want to spend energy cleaning, and the owners are often busy or away while the space has new occupants. Not only that, but owners have to be wary of guests that could dirty or damage their property during their stay.

An Airbnb service company can look after the guests by taking care of cleaning the property before and after a stay, setting out linen, and topping up your home’s essentials. It's a benefit for both the owner and the guests, and will certainly lead to more positive reviews!

On-Call Information

Being a host on Airbnb can often feel like you have another full-time job. Given there is no hotel concierge service, the host will need to bridge this gap by answering all of their guests’ queries.

Most Airbnb service companies recognise the importance of tending to daily obstacles tourists face - figuring out places to eat, points of interest in the area, and transport options. Given you’re inviting guests into your home and not a standard hotel, they are also likely to have questions about unfamiliar appliances.

For most hosts, it’s a relief to remove the responsibility of having to reply to these types of queries, which an Airbnb service company can take care of for you. With these kinds of resources available, you will not need to be on standby for the full duration of your guests’ stay—your service company has got it covered!

Booking Maximisation 

Airbnb has over 150 million users of its platform worldwide and showcases over 7 million listings. It’s difficult to stand out from the crowd when there are just so many choices available - this is where an Airbnb service company can help with maximising your home’s booking potential.

An Airbnb service company can handle the marketing and significantly heighten the money-making potential of the holiday home. With the right listing creation, search engine optimisations, and social media presence, Airbnb service companies offer the advantage of third-party support.

Many agencies will also be able to source professional photography for your listing. Good photos of your home are arguably the most important factor in increasing its booking potential so this is a huge positive.

Depending on how hands on or off you want to be as a host, service companies can also help set an appropriate price for your listing. They have the expertise in the holiday home business and know how to set a price which is suitable for your home and revenue goals.
