STR guest communication while on vacation

Gary Campanaro
Posted

Hi BP Collegues,

I was wondering what platforms, Va's or other cohosts you use to handle guest communications when on a 6 week summer vacation.  

We are going on a 6 week European vacation this summer and I don't want to be taking care of guest communications during this time.

I know airbnb has co-hosts and some VA's handle guest communications.

I have a great team of cleaners, maintenance, landscapers and I am set with my PMS hospitable and pricelabs for most of the heavy lifting. 

I just want to get some input from hosts of what you find the most efficient and cost effective way to handle guest communications when you are not available or are on extended leave.  Any input would be greatly appreciated!

One thing you can do is hide your listing while on vacation so that no one bothers you.
