Everything Airbnb doesn’t do for you, handled
Letting on Airbnb makes your home a business in the eyes of fire and gas safety law. HostSorted keeps you legal, gets your cleaners confirmed, collects the evidence for damage claims and helps repeat guests book direct, fee free.
Free for one property, including the guest safety page. Host, from £5.99 a month for up to 5 properties, adds the house guide, cleaners, damage claims and direct bookings.
Why it’s harder than it looks
Airbnb doesn’t check your safety
Hosting is easy to start, but the responsibility is yours: a written fire risk assessment, a gas safety check every year, working alarms and fire-safe furniture.
Nights add up across platforms
If you also list on Booking.com or Vrbo, Airbnb only sees its own bookings. In London the 90-night limit is per property, across every platform.
Guests ask the same questions
What’s the Wi-Fi? How does the oven work? Who do I call if the heating stops? And you still have to give them fire safety information.
About 18.6% goes in fees
Airbnb’s host-only fee takes about 18.6% of each booking once VAT is added. Every repeat guest who books on Airbnb costs you it again.
Damage claims need evidence fast
Photos from right after check-out, proof the item was fine before and receipts, within 14 days or before the next guest arrives.
Cleaners drop out
A no-show cleaner on a same-day changeover means a bad review. You need to know early, not at 3pm.
