Pricing and fees

    How much does Airbnb management cost in the Dominican Republic?

    Short-term rental management is normally charged as a percentage of the revenue generated, not a flat fee. Here's how it's calculated, what's included, which expenses remain the owner's and how to estimate your real net income.

    How it's actually calculated

    A percentage of revenue, not of promises

    We charge a percentage of what the property actually earns. If the property doesn't perform, we don't get paid. Incentives stay aligned.

    The percentage reflects the real workload

    It depends on area, size, villa vs apartment, whether pool and garden care are needed, and booking volume. A studio in Piantini is not operated like a staffed villa in Bávaro.

    Platform commissions are separate

    Airbnb, Booking and Vrbo charge their own commission per booking. That cost belongs to the platform and appears separately in the report.

    Owner operating expenses

    Utilities, internet, condo fees, inventory restocking, major maintenance and taxes are the owner's and are reported with supporting documents.

    What the fee includes

    No hidden onboarding charges and no double-billed services.

    Listing and optimization

    Listing creation, copy, photography and multichannel presence.

    Pricing management

    Continuous review of rates, minimum stays and discounts.

    Guests and bookings

    Communication, guest screening, check-in, incidents and reviews.

    Operations coordination

    Scheduling cleaning, laundry, inventory and maintenance.

    Claims and damages

    Handling damage claims with the booking platforms.

    Reporting and portal

    Monthly statement and owner portal access in HMS OS.

    Pricing FAQ

    How much does an Airbnb management company charge in the Dominican Republic?

    In the Dominican market, short-term rental management is usually charged as a percentage of revenue generated, varying with area, property type and service scope. We provide a proposal with the exact percentage after evaluating the property.

    Is there an onboarding cost?

    Listing setup and photography are agreed upfront. Any cost is presented in writing before we start — it never shows up later in the report.

    Who pays for cleaning?

    Turnover cleaning is normally charged to the guest as a cleaning fee. When it doesn't cover the full cost, the difference appears as an operating expense in the monthly report.

    Is there a lock-in contract?

    We work with a clear management agreement and defined exit terms. We don't retain owners through disproportionate penalties.

    What if my property doesn't get bookings?

    Since the fee is a percentage of revenue, no revenue means no management fee. That's why we only take on properties with real potential, and we say so during the evaluation.
