Airbnb Co-Host Network

Also known as:Airbnb co-hosting program

The Airbnb Co-Host Network is an official Airbnb program that connects property owners with vetted, experienced co-hosts who can manage their listings. Launched in late 2024 and rapidly expanding, the network has grown to over 15,000 co-hosts managing 100,000+ listings across 12+ countries. The program allows property owners to find local management help while co-hosts earn a percentage of booking revenue. For professional property managers, the Co-Host Network represents both an opportunity to acquire new properties and a competitive landscape to navigate.

Why this matters for property managers

This network lets owners who lack time or a local presence hand day-to-day management to vetted operators, widening who can host. For co-hosts it is a client acquisition channel; for owners it is a way to protect ratings without doing the work themselves. Clear agreements on the revenue split and responsibilities prevent disputes.

Frequently Asked Questions

How does the Airbnb Co-Host Network work?

Property owners can browse vetted co-hosts in their area and invite them to manage their listing. Co-hosts set their service offerings and fee percentage. Airbnb handles the matching, and co-hosts get shared access to the listing to manage bookings, messaging, and pricing.

How much do co-hosts earn through the Airbnb Co-Host Network?

Co-hosts in the Airbnb Co-Host Network typically earn 10-30% of the booking revenue, with the exact percentage set by agreement between the co-host and property owner. Full-service co-hosts who handle all aspects of management (guest communication, pricing, cleaning coordination, maintenance) command higher percentages, while those offering limited services like guest messaging only earn less. The co-host sets their service offerings and fee structure in their profile.

How many co-hosts and listings are in the Airbnb Co-Host Network?

As of its rapid expansion since the late 2024 launch, the Airbnb Co-Host Network has grown to over 15,000 co-hosts managing more than 100,000 listings across 12+ countries. The network is continuing to expand into new markets. For professional property managers, this represents both an acquisition channel to onboard new properties and a competitive landscape where they may face new entrants into the management market.

Should property managers join the Airbnb Co-Host Network or use a PMS instead?

They are not mutually exclusive. Property managers can join the Co-Host Network to acquire new properties from owners seeking management help, while using a PMS like Hostaway to professionally manage those properties across multiple channels beyond just Airbnb. The Co-Host Network is limited to Airbnb listings, whereas a PMS with a channel manager distributes properties across 200+ platforms and provides tools for direct bookings, financial reporting, and operational automation.
