Homeowner services
We cover everything from guest communications, reservations, through to cleaning and maintenance.
The Owner Portal
The Homeowner Portal makes it easy to keep an eye on your property. You'll be able to monitor your property's performance, check your financial statements, view calendar and bookings, access key documents, and you can easily reach out to your host and customer experience team.
Professional photography & listing creation
High-quality listings are key to attracting more guests on booking platforms. This requires standout photos, great styling, a compelling description, and positive reviews. We optimise backend settings to boost search visibility across all channels. Our network of professional photographers, trained to Airbnb standards, captures stunning images proven to drive 24% more bookings than non-professional photos.
Guest vetting and communications
We make sure you’re comfortable with who’s staying in your home. Hosting Partners vet each guest, confirm they agree to your House Rules, and check trip details before approval. They also handle all guest communication—ensuring a smooth stay, great reviews, and better earnings.
Professional housekeeping
Professional cleaning in-between guest stays ensure your property is kept in great condition and that guests feel comfortable from the moment they arrive. Consistent and meticulous care can also significantly extend the condition and lifespan of your property. Hometime’s standard of cleanliness is rated higher than our competitors on Airbnb, so you know your property’s cleaning is in good hands.
Guest vetting and communications
We want you to feel comfortable about the guests staying in your home. That’s why we have a tried-and-tested guest vetting process. As part of guest-vetting, your Hometime host makes sure guests read and agree to the ‘House Rules’ for your property. Guests must answer a series of questions relating to their stay and the purpose of their trip.
Regular restocking supplies
We regularly maintain and restock your property’s kitchens and bathrooms to ensure your guests have everything they need for a comfortable stay. By ensuring essentials are swiftly looked after, we can provide a memorable guest experience, leading to more positive reviews.
Dedicated local host
When you list your property with me, you get a dedicated local expert who knows your community. I’ll be your direct contact for anything you need, from property care to guest management. Unlike other managers, I only earn when your property performs, so I’m fully invested in your success. Your guests will be well looked after, and you can relax knowing everything is handled with care. When you sign up, we’ll meet to discuss your preferences, and I’ll take care of the rest.
