Unknown locations use flat monthly Assist fees with host publishing. ## Compare managed co-hosting options ## Remote co-host vs local co-host Remote coordination can cover agreed messages, scheduling and handovers. Physical access, inspections and urgent repairs need a named local responder. Confirm availability and escalation responsibilities for your property; remote support does not imply an on-site visit. ## Percentage vs flat fees A percentage depends on the contract’s revenue base; a flat fee makes the service charge predictable but may exclude extra work. Compare minimum fees, setup, cleaning, callouts and software separately. See the existing fee guide and calculator . For managed co-hosting vs property management , compare the work and authority delegated. The host stays payee, and property-state availability determines the eligible service. An Airbnb invitation does not establish that a service is permitted locally. --- # Every channel Source: https://cohostbnb.xyz/channels ## Every channel you rent on Calendars sync by iCal import and export on each channel, so a night booked on one closes on the others. Messaging and reservations on channels that need a partner connection run through your own PMS or channel manager, which already holds those connections; Cohostbnb works on top of it. Channel Native automation we write for you Calendar Messages Airbnb Scheduled Messages + Quick Replies templates iCal import/export through your PMS Vrbo Scheduled messages + saved replies templates iCal import/export through your PMS Booking.com Message templates + automatic messages iCal import/export through your PMS or channel manager Expedia / Hotels.com Saved replies iCal where Expedia offers it for your property type through your PMS or channel manager Google Vacation Rentals Saved replies through your PMS or channel manager feed through your PMS TripAdvisor Rentals Saved replies iCal import/export through your PMS Agoda Homes Saved replies iCal import/export through your PMS or channel manager Marriott Homes & Villas Saved replies through the managing partner's calendar sync through your PMS Plum Guide Saved replies iCal import/export through your PMS Hipcamp Saved replies iCal import/export in Hipcamp's inbox (copy and send) Furnished Finder Saved replies iCal import/export in Furnished Finder's inbox (copy and send) Your direct-booking site Saved replies + Elite Support AI chat widget iCal import/export your own email ## Double-booking protection Paste each channel's calendar export link into Cohostbnb, then paste our one export link into each channel's import setting. Our feed carries every booked or blocked night from the other channels, without guest details. When two channels already overlap, the console shows the conflict so you can fix it before the guests arrive. iCal refreshes on each channel's own schedule, so a gap of a few hours between a booking and the block on another channel is possible; a PMS connection closes it. ## City tax and permit notes At onboarding we show the occupancy-tax and permit notes for your listing's ZIP code where we have checked them, with the source and the date: for example San Jose's 12% transient occupancy tax from 2026-10-01, Santa Cruz city's 14% tax that Airbnb does not collect, and Half Moon Bay's certificate-of-insurance rule. You stay the host and operator, hold the permits and remit any tax a channel does not collect. This is general information, not legal or tax advice. Start free · Automation paths --- # FAQ Source: https://cohostbnb.xyz/faq ## Frequently asked questions ## The software ## What is Cohostbnb? Software for short-term-rental hosts, co-hosts, property-management companies and rental businesses. An AI drafts a reply to every guest message in your voice, writes templates for each channel's own automation, and syncs calendars across channels. We offer software, and we co-host (founder-led hospitality team) as a separate service in California. ## Which channels does it cover? Airbnb, Vrbo, Booking.com, Expedia and Hotels.com, Google Vacation Rentals, TripAdvisor, Agoda, Marriott Homes & Villas, Plum Guide, Hipcamp, Furnished Finder and your own direct-booking site. See every channel . ## Does it send messages through my Airbnb account? No. Cohostbnb software never logs into, scrapes or sends messages through your Airbnb account. Replies reach guests as templates you paste into the channel's own tools, drafts you copy and send, or through your own connected PMS. ## What is the difference between Host and Autopilot? Host starts at $15 for the first listing; Autopilot starts at $25 and adds routine auto-send through your PMS. Graduated volume rates are shown on pricing . Legacy plans retain their existing prices for the stated grandfathering period. ## Is any plan a percentage of my bookings? No. Every software plan is a flat subscription, never a percentage of your bookings. ## Which messages always wait for me? Refunds, disputes, cancellations, safety and legal questions, on every plan, whatever the settings. ## Do you handle stays over 30 nights? The software never auto-accepts or auto-confirms a stay over 30 nights; those requests wait for your decision. On listings a partner co-host manages, stays over 30 nights are blocked. ## Billing ## Can I cancel? Yes, cancel any time from your account or by email; billing stops at the next cycle. See the refund and cancellation policy . ## One account for CoHostBnB and Elite Support AI? Yes. Sign in on either with the same verified email and switch products from the console; both bill to one Stripe customer as separate subscriptions. ## Full-service ## Can you run the property for me? We co-host (founder-led hospitality team). Remote co-hosting runs inside your account; you remain the host and payee. Availability and fee model depend on the property state; check below. Full-service operates in the SF Bay Area, outside SF city unless the home is a registered primary residence. See service terms . ## Is Cohostbnb a property manager or broker? CoHostBnB offers software and managed co-hosting from our founder-led hospitality team. You remain the host, account holder and payee, hold the required permits, and approve price changes. We never hold guest funds. ## Data ## What happens to the API keys I connect? They are stored encrypted for your account only, used only for the features you turn on, never shown again, and deleted when you disconnect. --- # About Source: https://cohostbnb.xyz/about About CoHostBnB ## Built for the people who make a stay work.
