The Break Up Plan

Unhappy with your manager? We'll handle the breakup.

Most owners stay with a manager they've outgrown because switching feels like a project. The awkward call, the contract, listings rebuilt from scratch, a gap over a peak weekend. We turn it into a 3-day handoff you barely notice.

The three-day handoff from your old manager to Lodging GurusAn old management agreement cut along a dashed line, a calendar showing day one to day three and a set of keys with a tag that reads yours.OLD AGREEMENTDay 1Day 2Day 3we call themyour accountliveYOURSYou skip the awkward call. We make it. Three days later the keys are yours and the inbox is ours.

Easy to walk in

  1. We talk to your current manager. You skip the awkward call.
  2. We set your listings up on an account you own, with your photos, descriptions, house rules and pricing.
  3. We coordinate every booking already on your calendar so no guest falls through the cracks.
  4. Keep your cleaners or we find you new ones.

Live in 3 days.

Easy to walk out

  • No notice period. Leave whenever you want.
  • Your account, your reviews, your photos and every playbook we build for you stay yours.
  • No strings attached.

Don't see the value in your first 30 days? You don't pay for them.

One thing to know. If your listings live on your current manager's Airbnb account, those reviews can't move with you. No manager can move them. That's why we set you up on your own account, so it never happens again.

Why Lodging Gurus

Every dollar we add to your revenue stays yours.

Most managers take a cut of what they earn you. We charge one flat fee per listing, so when your revenue goes up, our fee doesn't.

  • You keep the upside. Flat fee per listing, never a percentage of revenue. When we fill a gap night or lift a rate, all of it is yours.

  • Live in 3 days, free to leave any day. Your account, your reviews and everything we build stay yours. No notice period.

  • People behind your AI, 24/7. Keep the tools you already use. Our team handles the revenue, the vendors and every guest issue they hand back.

  • We only earn more when you grow. Our fee moves with your listing count, not your revenue. So our job is to take enough off your plate that you can add the next one.

On a listing that books $55,000 a year, a 10% manager takes about $5,500. At a $250 nightly rate our fee is about $1,300 a year.

Meet the team

AI, on your terms

Your team is human. AI is a tool they pick up when you want them to.

Nothing here runs on autopilot. If you'd rather we never use AI on your listings, we don't. If you do, our specialists use it to draft, classify and check faster, and every message, task and alert still ends with a person.

You decide.
Don't want AI anywhere near your guests or your listings? Then it isn't. Want it? Then our team uses it, inside limits you set in writing at onboarding.
Your tools, not ours.
Already run a particular assistant, messaging tool or pricing model? We work inside it rather than swapping it for ours.
People decide.
Refunds, safety, legal questions and anything sensitive go to a trained specialist every time. AI drafts. It never sends.
Custom builds, one-time fee.
Want an AI workflow built around your own processes, from triage rules to the report you read on Monday? We build it for a one-time fee and hand you the keys.

Guest messaging

Routine questions get an AI draft that a specialist approves. Sensitive matters go straight to a person.

How AI and humans share guest messagingGuest messages flow into triage. Routine items get an AI-drafted reply that a specialist approves before sending, when the owner has opted in.

Damage claims

AI assembles a complete, consistent evidence pack so platforms and insurers have no reason to flag your claim.

A remote team isn't tied to a zip code. Before we take on a new market we research its rules and its numbers, then run it the way we run these.

Pricing, plainly

One flat fee per listing. Every dollar of upside stays yours.

Priced by your listings' nightly rate, never a percentage of your revenue.

A flat fee is not an unmotivated fee. It grows when your listing count grows and never when a guest pays more. So our whole job is to take enough off your plate that you buy the next one, and the one after that.

We stay in our lane

We stay in our lane. It happens to be the fast one.

We will never sell you bookkeeping or marketing. No ads, no social media, no direct-booking websites. We run the part of hosting that never sleeps, and we run it well. Keep your accountant and your marketer. We'll play nice with both.

Not us. Ever.

Still got questions? We have 24/7 chat support at your service.

We charge a simple flat fee per listing per month, priced by your listings' average nightly rate. We never take a percentage of your revenue, so your profits stay in your pocket.

Use the pricing calculator on this site for an estimate for your portfolio. Final pricing is confirmed at signing from your trailing-12-month booked nightly rate and locked for 12 months.

Our team is in constant touch with your cleaning crew, and if a guest damages your property, the cleaners will alert us as soon as they notice the problem and provide photos. We'll contact the guest via the platform they booked through, and request they pay for the damages. If a guest declines to do so, we'll raise the case with either AirCover (Airbnb Insurance) or any other, depending on the booking site.

No. You can partner with Lodging Gurus from anywhere: we work remotely, so what matters is where your property is, not where you live. Our team manages properties across North America, the United Kingdom and Asia-Pacific today.

Before we start working together, we'll research the regulations, laws and market conditions for your property's location, so the service we set up fits it and stays compliant.
