Services

Complete Airbnb management and property management

We don't just rent out your property — we comprehensively manage every step of short-term rental. From listing to guest departure, we handle every task with our professional support team.

This is not a list of separate tasks but one system: the five pillars of the Performance Care System. Together they make up full-service Airbnb management.

Pillar 1

Revenue Intelligence

Managing your revenue potential

Demand, pricing, occupancy, seasonality, platform presence: tuned continuously, not reviewed once a month.

Maximum profit with artificial intelligence

Why will you earn more with us? Because we don't guess — we work with hard data. Our proprietary AI-powered pricing software applies far more rules than average market tools, always filling your calendar at the highest yet optimal price. Since we've automated most processes and use our own technology, we don't pay commissions to external providers.

Listing management & optimization

Professional photos, SEO-optimized descriptions, Airbnb + Booking.com sync. Your listing profile remains yours.

AI-powered dynamic pricing

Our proprietary pricing software optimizes rates based on real-time market data — 15-20% better results than static pricing.

Pillar 2

Guest Experience

Managing the guest experience

Ratings aren't a vanity metric: they directly affect ranking, occupancy and pricing power.

Outstanding guest experience for successful Airbnb operations

Your guests will love us (and your apartment). In Budapest's dense tourist market, providing an outstanding guest experience is essential. That's why we give arrivals their own online portal where they can handle mandatory admin with a few clicks and get all useful info about the apartment and neighborhood. Our professional English customer service and strictly controlled cleaning team ensure guests leave fully satisfied.

Guest communication & check-in

Professional English-speaking support, 24/7 guest management, smart lock system with unique codes.

Pillar 3

Property Care

Preserving your apartment's condition

Cleaning, maintenance, monthly documented inspections, damage prevention. So revenue never comes at the expense of your property's condition.

Professional cleaning

Strictly controlled cleaning team ensuring impeccable cleanliness after every guest. Linen and supply management included.

Maintenance & property care

Dedicated property manager personally responsible for regular inspections and preventive maintenance.

Smart access: greater security

Break-ins and squatting incidents at short-term rentals are increasingly common in Budapest — traditional key safes can be easily pried open or their codes observed. GuestGuru's smart lock system eliminates this risk: every guest receives a unique access code that is only active during their stay. With no physical key, there is nothing to copy or duplicate, ruling out any possibility of later misuse. Our automated IT solution manages the codes in sync with the booking system, so they cannot be used before or after the reservation — your property stays secure, even when you're not nearby.

Pillar 4

Compliance & Admin

Compliant, documented operations

NTAK, VIZA, IFA, permits, invoicing: automated, on time, with proof.

Stress-free short-term rental: Forget the paperwork!

We know the most exhausting part of short-term rental is paperwork and bureaucracy — we take that completely off your shoulders. With our proprietary NTAK and VIZA reporting software, all mandatory data submissions are automatic, as are tourism tax (IFA) and VAT return preparations. We maintain digital guest books and issue electronic invoices.

NTAK, VIZA & tax administration

Proprietary NTAK & VIZA reporting software, automated IFA/VAT preparation, digital guest book and e-invoicing.

Pillar 5

Owner Transparency

Full visibility into operations

Dashboard, reports, statements, inspection photos: not a monthly total, but a picture you can actually read.

Premium Airbnb management: You are the focus

With us, you're not just a number. You get your own dedicated property manager who is personally responsible for regular inspections and maintenance. Behind them, a professional team works on guest communication, cleaning, financial administration, and IT development. We send detailed monthly summaries, and on your own online dashboard you can track your revenue, bookings, and maintenance in real time. Most importantly: your listing profile remains yours.

Owner dashboard & reports

Track your revenue, bookings, and maintenance in real-time on your online dashboard. Monthly detailed reports.

Our Airbnb management performance in numbers

GuestGuru vs. Budapest average — based on NTAK 2025 data

Occupancy comparison

ADR comparison (Ft)

87.7%

Occupancy rate

The average occupancy of short-term rentals in downtown Budapest was 51% in 2025, according to NTAK data. Over the same period, the GuestGuru portfolio consistently stayed above 87%. That gap is not luck: it comes from daily pricing and continuous listing maintenance.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions about Airbnb management

GuestGuru charges 14-19% commission on realized revenue + a monthly €70 property manager fee. The commission is below the market average (20-30%). The €70/mo covers your dedicated manager who handles cleaning coordination, maintenance, 1 detailed monthly inspection and 3 extra visits. No startup fees or hidden costs. The exact commission rate depends on property type and service package — get in touch for your personalized quote.

Revenue depends on the apartment's size, location, amenities and the season. The central 5th, 7th and 8th districts are the strongest, while District 6 faces a complete ban from 2026. Budapest has a moratorium in effect for 2025-2026, so no new accommodation permits are being issued. A well-equipped one-bedroom apartment downtown can generate 300,000-600,000 HUF net profit per month. GuestGuru apartments run at 87.7% average occupancy, against the 51% NTAK average for the central districts (13 closed months between July 2025 and July 2026). Use our free profit calculator for a personalised estimate.

We provide comprehensive administration: NTAK and VIZA reporting, IFA and VAT preparation, digital guest book, electronic invoicing, and all required regulatory registrations. Our proprietary software automates these processes.

Your listing profiles (Airbnb, Booking.com) remain yours throughout — we optimize your account, not ours. If you decide to end the partnership, your existing reviews and ranking are preserved.

One of the biggest challenges in apartment management is security. GuestGuru smart lock system generates unique access codes for each guest, active only during their stay. No physical key is needed, the code cannot be copied or shared — it automatically becomes invalid when the booking ends. Your dedicated property manager also regularly inspects the property in person.

Budapest has a moratorium in effect from January 1, 2025 to December 31, 2026: no new short-term accommodations can be started and no new NTAK registrations are being issued. Only accommodations registered by December 31, 2024 can continue operating. District VI has a complete ban from January 1, 2026 — the number of rentable days has been limited to 0. In other districts, existing permits remain valid. If you already have a permit, GuestGuru helps you achieve maximum occupancy during the moratorium.

A gyakorlatban többnyire ugyanazt értjük alattuk. Az Airbnb menedzsment és az Airbnb lakáskezelés lényege, hogy valaki átveszi tőled a rövid távú kiadással járó napi feladatokat: beállítja az árakat, válaszol a vendégeknek, megszervezi a takarítást, intézi a kisebb javításokat és az adminisztrációt. A megnevezés attól is függ, ki használja. A hirdetési oldalak gyakran házigazda-szolgáltatásról írnak, az ingatlanos szakmában a property management kifejezés is előkerül, magyarul pedig az üzemeltetés és a lakáskezelés a leggyakoribb. Mi az Airbnb üzemeltetés szót használjuk, mert ez mutatja meg legjobban, miről van szó: nem egy-egy alkalmi feladatról, hanem a lakás folyamatos működtetéséről. A valódi különbség inkább abban van, pontosan mit kapsz a szolgáltatásért. Egyesek csak a hirdetést és a foglalásokat kezelik, a vendégek fogadása vagy a takarítás pedig rád marad. Mások a teljes napi működést viszik, de például a lakás állapotának ellenőrzését vagy a nagyobb karbantartási munkákat már nem vállalják. Mielőtt Airbnb lakáskezelővel szerződsz, kérdezd végig tételesen, mi tartozik az árba, és miért számolnak fel külön díjat.
