Co-Host Network: an introduction

Do you love hosting or co-hosting, and want opportunities to grow your business on Airbnb? Join the Co-Host Network and earn money helping hosts in your area take care of their homes and guests.

Co-host on your own terms

Co-hosts on the network are high-quality, local hosts who provide personalised hosting support.* You choose what services you offer and how much you charge. You can offer to take on end-to-end hosting responsibilities or simply help out with specific tasks—it’s up to you.

You’ll have access to specialised tools, resources and insights from a dynamic community of co-hosts.

What’s required of co-hosts to join the Co-Host Network

Only high-quality hosts can join the network. For starters, you need an Airbnb account in good standing, your identity must have been verified, and your average overall co-host rating must be 4.8 or above. Review the full requirements to join the Co-Host Network.

It’s your responsibility to comply with applicable laws, like having permits or licences that you need to provide services to hosts. Be sure to also check out the Co-Host Network Terms for more information.

If you are eligible, go to the Co-Host Network and complete the information required. You’ll receive an email with next steps.

Set up your co-host profile

After your eligibility is confirmed, you’ll set up your Co-Host Network profile to attract hosts searching for a great co-host like you. Your profile is where you market yourself and share details about the services you provide.

How co-hosts are ranked on the Co-Host Network

The network’s search algorithm takes into account a number of factors—including quality, engagement and location—to help hosts find the right co-hosts for their listings. Find out more about how Co-Host Network ranking works.

Guest ratings for co-hosts on the Co-Host Network

The Co-Host Network displays overall guest ratings and other information for co-hosts based on homes they’ve hosted or co-hosted. It may also display category-specific ratings, like the guest’s rating for ease of check-in.

These ratings and reviews come from guest feedback on listings that the co-host supports, whether they’re the listing owner or a co-host with full access or calendar and messaging access permissions.

Co-Host Network coverage

The Co-Host Network is available in the US, Canada, Mexico, France, Germany, Italy, Spain, the United Kingdom, Australia and Brazil. Co-hosts can set their local service area to a maximum diameter of approximately 60 miles (100 kilometres). Co-hosts will show up in search results when a host's listing is within the set service area.

*Hosts within the Co-Host Network typically have high ratings, low cancellation rates and established Airbnb hosting experience. Ratings are based on guest reviews for listings they host or co-host and may not represent the co-host’s unique services.
