Pricing
Management from 25%
Our typical management fee is 25% to 30% of booking revenue. Your final fee is agreed after we have assessed your property.
GlowStay Complete
Typically around 27.5%
of booking revenue
For owners who want a highly hands-off service.
GlowStay Signature
Up to 30%
of booking revenue
For larger, premium, high-turnover or operationally intensive properties.
These three service levels are a guide to how our pricing works, not fixed price plans. Every property is different, so we quote your management fee in a written proposal after reviewing your home, and that is the fee that applies.

What does GlowStay charge?
Management starts from 25% of booking revenue, and most properties fall between 25% and 30%. We agree your fee after assessing your property, because size, location, booking volume and the work involved all make a difference.
What does the percentage apply to?
Your proposal and management agreement set out exactly what the fee is calculated on, including how booking site commission and guest cleaning fees are treated. Your monthly statement then shows the calculation for every stay.
Do I need to be involved day to day?
No. We handle guest messages, check-ins, cleaning, linen and the running of the property. You choose how much you hear from us, and your owner portal shows bookings, earnings and any issues whenever you want to look.
Can I still use my property?
Yes. Tell us the dates and we block them out on every booking site so guests cannot book them. Owner stays appear in your portal calendar.
Which booking sites do you use?
We can manage listings on Airbnb, Booking.com and Vrbo, and we keep the calendars synchronised between sites to avoid double bookings.
How do I get paid?
You receive a clear monthly statement listing every stay, our fee and any costs. How money reaches you depends on whether guest payments are made to you or to us; your agreement explains which applies to your property.
Do you handle compliance?
We help you coordinate the requirements that apply to your property, such as safety certificates and checks, and keep your documents in your owner portal. Legal responsibility stays with the owner, and we recommend independent advice where you need it.
Which areas do you cover?
