How Airbnb management works in Bratislava and why our co-hosting model is fairer for apartment owners

Short-term rentals through Airbnb are one of the most popular ways to let your property earn money without a long-term commitment. However, there are several ways to secure apartment management in Bratislava, and not all of them work equally well for the owner.

We most often encounter two approaches on the market: co-hosting (our model), in which you only pay from real profit when the apartment is occupied, and fixed apartment rental, in which the company rents the apartment and continues to use it at its own discretion.

At PVK Transportation & Airbnb Management, we believe that long-term cooperation is based on trust, transparency, and fairness. That's why we operate exclusively in the co-hosting model. In this article, we will explain why it is the most sensible choice for you as an apartment owner.

What is co-hosting? (Airbnb manages an apartment based on real occupancy)

With co-hosting, your apartment remains in your hands, and we take care of everything else.

We will provide a complete report including:

• Creation and optimization of the advertisement (SEO, professional photos)

• Communication with guests in Slovak and English

• Check-in, cleaning, laundry, and restocking

• Coordination of maintenance and minor repairs

• Regular reports on profit and reservations

  
  

You don't pay any fixed monthly fees. Our commission is based only on actual occupancy—we earn when you earn.

Benefits of our co-hosting model

Transparency and access

You always have access to your Airbnb profile, booking calendar, and revenue overview. You know exactly what's happening in your apartment and who's staying there.

Flexibility for the owner

If you need the apartment for yourself for a few days, you can simply block the date. For example, during renovations, visiting family, or vacation.

Safety and responsible guest selection

We prefer verified guests with good reviews to minimize the risk of damage and preserve the reputation of your property.

Less wear and tear on the apartment

Our goal is not to rent out as many nights as possible at any cost. We take care of the apartment as if it were our own. Regular inspections, quality cleaning, and respect for your property are our priorities.

Long-term profit instead of quick experiments

Unlike companies that rent an apartment for a fixed amount and try to make the most of it, we care about the quality of guests and stable reviews. This will ensure long-term income and growth in the value of your property.

Personal approach and local knowledge

Our operations are focused mainly on Bratislava and its surroundings. We know the local market, seasonal fluctuations, and the types of guests who come here. This allows us to set prices dynamically and optimize occupancy according to the current situation.

Fixed rent: a seemingly convenient but risky model

Some companies offer to rent your apartment for a fixed price and then sublet it themselves. At first glance, this may sound tempting. Guaranteed income, no worries. However, the reality is often different.

The company has an incentive to rent as often as possible, often to less reliable guests. The quality of reviews decreases, the risk of damage increases, and you as the owner lose control over who stays in your apartment. You cannot temporarily use the apartment for your own needs, and wear and tear is significantly higher, which reduces its value. Such companies often only pursue short-term profit, not a long-term relationship with you.

Why is the PVK Management model more advantageous for you?

We set up our cooperation transparently. You can see everything in your Airbnb account. Our contracts are simple, fair, and without hidden fees. You have full control over your property. Our motivation is the same as yours. More satisfied guests mean more income for you and us. We can adapt—whether it's seasonal rentals, longer stays, or special guest requests. We are a local partner from Bratislava, not an anonymous platform. We communicate in Slovak and English, which is ideal for foreign guests and expats.
