Istanees Co-Hosting

Your Egyptian property, earning what it should.

A co-hosting platform for owners who want short-term rental income without short-term rental work. We run your Airbnb listing under your name, while you stay the host of record.

You stay the host.

The Airbnb account stays in your name. We operate as your co-host inside it. Full transparency on every booking, every message, every payout.

No lock-in.

A monthly cancellation clause, not an annual one. If we don't perform, you leave. We earn the relationship every month.

We earn when you earn.

Commission only on confirmed bookings, between 18 and 28% depending on tier. No retainer, no setup gouging.

Commission percentages are ranges. The exact rate within each tier depends on property location, size, and seasonality of demand.

The yield case

What your property could be earning.

Short-term rentals in Egypt's prime markets are structurally higher-yielding than annual leases, often by a wide margin. The owners we work with typically see materially more revenue in their first full season with us than they did across the prior twelve months of either annual rent or self-managed bookings.

The specific number depends on location, size, finish, and how the property is presented to guests. We don't quote yield figures before seeing the unit. What we do is spend the first week studying your specific property and its real comparable set, then send you a numbers-based projection. If the math doesn't work, we say so.
