Questions people ask us
Everything you need to know before getting started.
Co-hosting in Nigeria means a property management company like Stayven steps in to help run your Airbnb or shortlet apartment alongside you. We handle the day-to-day — guest communication, cleaning, check-ins, pricing — while you remain the property owner. You keep full control of your asset but hand over all the work to us.
Co-hosting fees in Nigeria typically range between 10 and 25 percent of monthly rental income, depending on the scope of services. At Stayven, our fee covers guest communication, cleaning coordination, listing management and monthly reporting. You only pay from earnings, so there is no upfront management cost.
Co-hosting means Stayven manages the operational side of your shortlet while you remain involved at ownership level. Full property management means we take over everything completely, including maintenance, staffing and compliance, with zero involvement needed from you. Co-hosting suits owners who want to stay connected. Full management suits owners who want total hands-off income.
Yes. As the property owner you can block dates for personal use at any time. Your co-host manages the calendar and keeps those dates unavailable to guests. You retain full ownership rights and access to your property at all times.
A professional co-host improves your listing quality, response time, pricing strategy and guest reviews — all of which directly impact how often Airbnb shows your property in search results. Properties managed by Stayven in Abuja and Lagos consistently see higher occupancy and better nightly rates than self-managed listings in the same areas.
No. Stayven manages properties for owners based outside Nigeria, including those in the UK, US, Canada and Europe. We handle everything on the ground, send you regular reports, and transfer your income directly to your account. You do not need to be present at any point.
A co-host on Airbnb in Nigeria handles guest inquiries and bookings, check-in and check-out coordination, professional cleaning between stays, pricing updates, review management and maintenance issues. At Stayven, we also manage listing optimisation and photography updates to keep your apartment competitive in your city.
Yes. There is no national law in Nigeria that prohibits co-hosting or shortlet apartment management. Some local councils in cities like Lagos may require registration for commercial hospitality activity, but operating a co-hosted shortlet is widely practiced and legal across Abuja, Lagos and Kano.
At Stayven, rental income is collected through the booking platforms and paid out to property owners monthly after deducting our management fee. You receive a clear earnings report with every payment showing exactly what came in, what was spent and what you earned that month.
