1. GETTING PAID IN ADVANCE
We have introduced two new “super strict” cancellation policies that enable Host payment either 30 or 60 days prior to the Guests’ arrival. If you subscribe to either of these policies, the Host fee is 5%+VAT. Should the guest cancel within the 30 or 60 window, the Host receives 50% of the booking value. Visit this link for more information on all our cancellation policies.
2. DEDICATED ACCOUNT MANAGERS
We have dedicated Account Managers who look after our professional Hosts in select Vacation Rental markets across North America, Latin America, Europe and Asia.
3. GETTING GOOD RANKING
We have a system in place to ensure our new Hosts have an equal chance to get seen and booked. Once a Host has been on the platform for a while, it’s up to a number of factors to maintain that high position: excellent reviews, fast response rate and low cancellation rate. Here’s some more information on how our search algorithm works.
4. FREE INSURANCE
We have a Host Guarantee that provides protection for up to $1,000,000 in damages. In addition, there is a $1million Host Protection Insurance policy in place. Hosts may also choose to collect a security deposit as part of their listing fees.
5. KEEPING REVIEWS & SUPERHOST STATUS
For existing Airbnb hosts that want to use Rentals United Channel Manager, we can transfer across all reviews and the Superhost status for those that have it.
6. SENDING PERSONAL INFO IN CHATS
Sharing booking URL’s or taking transactions off-platform violate our terms of service, so URLs are blocked by the Airbnb system. However, once the transaction has been completed the Host & Guest can both share contact details: phone numbers, addresses, instructions PDFs etc. But, in accordance with our trust and safety policies, we do not allow hosts to share personal contact details prior to a booking, and we do not permit photos with watermarks.
7. EXTRA PRICES
Hosts are able to add security deposits and cleaning fees. Any additional fees you wish to collect should be captured as part of the cleaning fee.
