HOSTS of short-term private accommodations, such as via Airbnb, can now engage GuestReady for a range of operational services.
Targeted at shared economy hosts, homeowners and investment property owners, the startup provides services such as laundry, cleaning as well as check-in and check-out of guests.
It also offers property management, which includes guest communication, maintaining listings on multiple short term rental sites, and ensuring the property generates the maximum possible yield. This is not unlike the way traditional hotel operators work.
“As the short-term rental industry is maturing, there is a natural need for more efficiency, professionalism and standardisation,” said the company’s CEO Alexander Limpert.
“Especially with business travellers, the property and any service related to a stay need to be of immaculate quality. For non-professional hosts, this is hard to achieve, which is where we step in.”
GuestReady officially launches today in six countries in Europe and Asia, namely London, Paris, Amsterdam, Singapore, Kuala Lumpur and Hong Kong. There are plans to expand to other markets soon.
The startup is backed by Switzerland’s Swiss Founders Fund for an undisclosed sum.
