Managing it yourself or with a professional manager: what actually changes

Owners who manage alone, especially from abroad, end up dealing with messages, pricing and cleaning at all hours. Here is what changes when we take care of everything.

Guests

On your own

Messages at 11 pm or 7 am, in several languages.

With Easy Host

We reply in under 1 hour, 7 days a week, from the first message to check-out.

Pricing

On your own

Fixed prices, or adjusted by hand when there is time.

With Easy Host

Dynamic pricing, reviewed every day, to earn more in summer and fill the low season.

Cleaning

On your own

Coordinating teams, no-shows and last-minute replacements.

With Easy Host

Cleaning and linen handled after every stay by trusted local teams, and the home checked before every arrival.

Calendar

On your own

Double bookings across platforms force you to cancel one, and the cancellation pushes your listing down the search results.

With Easy Host

Calendars synced across every platform to prevent double bookings.

About us

Hands-on management by people who live here

I'm Bruno. In 2022 I started managing my first home, in Tavira, and learned first-hand what makes a property earn well and keeps guests coming back. Today I do the same for other owners' homes in the Eastern Algarve, with the same care, because I know what it means to trust someone with your home.

You always deal with me directly, with no call centres or middlemen. I reply to owners within 24 hours, and every month you receive a detailed report on your home.

Bruno, founder of Easy Host Algarve

Real case

A real case in Tavira: from €38,000 to over €50,000 in gross revenue a year

A property in Tavira. The same home, managed differently. In its first full year under management it earned €38,000. With a more polished presentation, dynamic pricing and a guest experience designed down to the detail, it now consistently earns more than €50,000 a year.

  • Dynamic pricing strategy
  • A better guest experience
  • A more polished presentation
  • Ongoing follow-up

Owner's net income
Bookings are paid straight into your account. Our commission is invoiced afterwards, based on this statement. Cleaning is charged to guests at the time of booking through the cleaning fee, which covers the team's work after every stay and is not included in these figures. Laundry is invoiced separately. In municipalities that charge it, the tourist tax is paid by the guest and passed on to the municipality, so it is not included in these figures.

Owners' questions

Frequently asked questions

How much does management cost?

We work on commission on net booking revenue: 15% with Easy Essential, 20% with Easy Plus and 25% with Easy Premium, plus VAT. In the free assessment we tell you which one makes most sense for your home.

How do I receive the money from bookings?

The platforms pay straight into your account. It never goes through us. Our commission is charged afterwards, every month. With Easy Essential you get access to a shared Excel sheet with bookings and income. From Easy Plus upwards, we also send a monthly report with a full breakdown before that charge.

Is cleaning included in the commission?

No. Cleaning is invoiced separately, outside the commission, in every package. With Easy Plus and Easy Premium we organise it with a trusted team and check the home between stays. With Easy Essential, cleaning is up to you. Coordination of maintenance, the pool and the garden is included in Easy Premium.

Can I still use the home myself?

Yes. Let us know the dates you want to keep for yourself in advance and we will block the calendar.

Is there a minimum contract term?

Yes. We normally work with a minimum term of 1 year, the time needed to fine-tune pricing, the listing and reviews across every season. The exact terms are set out in the proposal for your home.

I don't have a holiday rental (AL) licence yet. Can you help?

Yes. We help with the Alojamento Local registration process (RNAL) and with everything the home needs to be ready for guests.

I live outside Portugal. Does it still work?

Yes. Many of our owners live abroad. On the ground we handle everything: guests, cleaning, maintenance and the unexpected. You can reach us on WhatsApp or by email whenever you like and follow the results from a distance, without having to travel here.

How do we get started?

Request a free assessment. We get to know the home, estimate its potential and suggest the right package. No obligation.
