Questions
1Is this the same as a co-hosting service?
No. Co-hosting is one narrow slice. We manage pricing, quality, maintenance and performance, not just messages.
2Can Staybite manage a property I already list on Airbnb?
Yes. We regularly take over and reposition underperforming listings.
3What percentage does Staybite take?
It depends on the package. See Pricing for detail.
4Do you manage outside Nairobi, Naivasha, Nakuru and the coast?
We work in defined clusters for quality. See All Locations for what is next and join the waitlist.
