Homeowner services

We cover everything from guest communications, reservations, through to cleaning and maintenance

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.

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.
