Co-hosts: An introduction
Co-hosts help listing owners take care of their home and guests. They're often a family member, neighbor, trusted friend, or someone the host has hired to help with the listing.
What is a co-host?
If you create a listing, you can invite other people to your listing for some extra help. A co-host can help you do things like manage your listing, respond to inquiries, or message booked guests, so you can focus on other things.
The difference between co-hosts and hosting teams
There are two ways to get support hosting on Airbnb: Hosting teams and co-hosts.
Co-hosts can support hosts in different ways, so permissions can be set up for each co-host to choose what they can access and manage on your listing.

Co-Host Network: An introduction
In select countries, listing owner hosts can find high-quality, local hosts on the Co-Host Network to support hosting, from setting up listings to welcoming guests.
Management tools for co-hosts
As a co-host, you’ll need the listing owner or co-host with full-access permissions to add you to their listing. Hosts and co-hosts need to communicate well and be clear about:
- Hosting responsibilities: Who does what
- Earnings: How much of the reservation income goes to the co-host
- Expenses: How the co-host will be reimbursed
