Airbnb
is
making
it
easier
for
hosts
to
find
someone
to
manage
their
Airbnb.
The
new
“Co-Host
Network,”
which
is
available
starting
today,
lets
you
compare
co-hosts
and
work
with
the
co-hosts
that
you
hire
right
inside
the
app.
Third-party
Airbnb
management
companies
are
quite
common
already,
but
a
co-host
network
directly
in
the
Airbnb
app
could
be
a
more
convenient
option
for
some
users.
Co-hosts
can
help
with
things
like
managing
your
listing
and
messaging
guests
that
have
booked
at
your
Airbnb.
Hosts
are
also
able
to
choose
from
a
range
of
payout
options
for
their
co-hosts,
such
as
a
cleaning
fee,
a
percentage
per
booking,
or
a
fixed
amount.
Airbnb
has
been
piloting
a
co-hosting
hiring
service
for
“several
years,”
Skift
reports,
but
this
new
release
marks
its
availability
in
the
app
and
its
expansion
to
countries
like
the
US,
Canada,
and
the
UK.

“With
more
than
10,000
co-hosts
across
10
countries,
we’re
making
it
easy
to
find
the
best
co-host
for
you,”
Airbnb
says
in
a
blog
post.
“Our
personalized
ranking
algorithm
recommends
a
list
of
co-hosts
based
on
more
than
80
factors,
including
your
location,
hosting
experience,
and
type
of
home.
You’ll
see
their
profile
and
reviews,
and
you
can
connect
with
them
right
in
the
app.”
Airbnb
says
its
new
2024
Winter
Release
also
includes
“over
50
upgrades
for
guests,”
including
suggested
destinations
when
you
tap
the
search
bar,
personalized
listing
highlights,
and
a
redesigned
checkout
page.
