Co-hosting for Airbnb and Vrbo hosts in the US and Canada
Hands-free hosting. Paid only when you get booked.
We co-host your listing: we answer your guests, set your prices, run your calendar and keep the listing sharp. No invoice and nothing upfront. Airbnb pays our share out of each booking, so we only earn when you do.

Free listing check
Paste your listing link. A real person looks at it and gets back to you within a few minutes with what we would change as your co-host.
What you hand over
Everything between "is it available?" and the five-star review
One service, not a menu. All of it is included.
Your guests
We answer from your listing, in your house style.
- Questions before booking
- Booking requests and date changes

- A review for every guest, and replies to yours

Every night priced for what it can earn, inside limits you approve.
- Weekday, weekend, seasonal and event rates
- Minimum stays and gap nights
- Airbnb and Vrbo calendars kept in sync
- Turnover schedule sent to your cleaner
Your listing
Rebuilt against the homes you compete with, then kept current.
- New title and description
- Cover photo, photo order and captions

- A Vrbo listing, if you are on Airbnb only
Why hosts hand it over
Less work, and a listing that is worked on every day
Your time back
No more answering the same question at 11 pm, checking the calendar on holiday, or wondering whether tonight is priced right. You hear from us when a decision is yours, and in a monthly report.
More from the same home
Most listings are priced once and left. We review prices, minimum stays and empty gaps continually, answer enquiries quickly, and fix what keeps a listing out of search. We cannot promise a figure, but this is the work that moves it.
No bill to carry
There is nothing to pay before you are booked and nothing to pay when you are not. Our share leaves with each booking, so our income depends on yours.
How you pay
You do not pay us. Airbnb does.
Airbnb can split each booking payout between a host and a co-host. You set our share once in your Airbnb account, and it happens automatically from then on.
Your rate is set out in your written proposal, after we have seen the listing. Only you can set or change the payout share, and removing us as co-host ends it. Vrbo has no payout split, so the proposal also covers how Vrbo bookings are handled.
How it works
Hands-free in three steps
Send your listing link
It takes about two minutes and needs no account access. A person reviews it and replies within a few minutes.
Get your proposal
In writing: what we handle, what stays with you, and our share of each booking. Nothing to sign for a fixed term.
Add us as co-host
You add us on Airbnb and set the payout share. We rebuild the listing, set up pricing and messages, and take it from there.
Who does what
We run the bookings. You own the home.
The split is written into your proposal, so nothing falls between two chairs.
| We handle | You keep |
|---|---|
| Guest questions, booking requests and reviews | Ownership of the listing and its reviews |
| Nightly prices, minimum stays and calendar | Your payout account. Airbnb pays you directly |
| Check-in instructions and saved replies | Your cleaner, and one local contact for emergencies |
| The turnover schedule for your cleaner | Repairs, supplies and anything on site |
| Listing text, photo order and settings | Final say on refunds, house rules and price limits |
| A monthly report on what changed and why | Licences, taxes and insurance for your property |
Is this for you?
For hosts who want the income without the inbox
A good fit if you
- Have one to five listings on Airbnb, Vrbo or both
- Have a cleaner, or someone who handles turnovers
- Are tired of answering messages and adjusting prices
- Would rather pay from bookings than from your pocket
- Have seen views or bookings slip and are not sure why
Not a fit if you
- Have nobody near the property for cleaning or repairs
- Want to buy a one-off audit or a single task
- Run a large portfolio that needs a dedicated team
- Are looking for a guaranteed income figure
Questions
Before you send your link
What does co-hosting with HostTuneUp cover?
The whole booking side of your listing: guest messages, booking requests, nightly prices, your calendar, reviews and the listing itself. You add us as a co-host on Airbnb and we run it day to day. Your cleaner keeps doing the turnovers, and we send them the schedule.
How do I pay you?
You do not send us anything. On Airbnb you set a co-host payout share once, and Airbnb pays our share out of each booking automatically. There is no invoice, no setup fee and no card on file. Your rate is in your written proposal.
What does it cost in a month with no bookings?
Nothing. Our share comes out of bookings, so we only earn when you do.
Will I earn more?
We cannot promise a figure, because bookings depend on your market, season and home. What changes is the work behind the listing: prices are reviewed constantly instead of set once, empty gaps between bookings are opened up, guests get an answer quickly, and the listing is rewritten against the homes beside it. Because we are paid from your bookings, our interest is the same as yours.
Do you charge for setting up my listing or adding Vrbo?
No. The listing rewrite, photo order, pricing setup and a Vrbo listing with synced calendars are part of starting with us. We do not sell them as separate packages.
Is there a contract?
No. You can remove us as a co-host in your Airbnb account at any time, and the payout share stops with it. The listing, its reviews and its content stay yours.
What do I still have to do?
Keep a cleaner and one local contact who can act if something breaks. Decisions about refunds, house rules and price limits stay yours, and we ask before anything that touches them.
How does payment work for Vrbo bookings?
Vrbo has no payout split of its own, so your proposal sets out how our share of Vrbo bookings is handled. Airbnb bookings are always paid through Airbnb.
I only have one listing. Is that too small?
No. Most hosts we work with have one to five listings.
