Self-managing or co-hosting: which suits your short stay?
The short answer
Self-managing suits hosts who live nearby, have time for guest messages and want to keep every dollar. Co-hosting suits owners who live away, are busy, or want better occupancy and reviews without the work. Many hosts start with cleaning and maintenance support and move to co-hosting later.
Self-managing suits you if
- You live close and can handle problems quickly
- You have time for guest messages at all hours
- You enjoy setting prices and writing the listing
Co-hosting suits you if
- You live interstate or overseas, or work long hours
- You want the listing, pricing and guests handled for you
- You want consistent cleaning and maintenance without chasing anyone
The middle option
- Keep running the listing yourself
- Hand us the turnovers, linen, restocking and odd jobs
- Get photos and reports after every clean in the Filo Care app
