Listing Setup 5: Airbnb - Adding Co-Hosts to Your Airbnb Listing (Cleaners, Staff, and Support)
Listing Setup: Airbnb - The Setup
Airbnb co-host access lets cleaners, staff and support partners help with your listing without you sharing your login details. Because permission levels can be controlled, each person should get only the access their role needs, such as booking visibility for a cleaner or messaging for a team member. Reviewing co-hosts regularly and removing anyone who no longer needs access keeps your account secure.

Questions people ask
Should my Airbnb cleaner be a co-host?
A cleaner can be added as a co-host with limited permissions so they can see check-in and check-out dates without full access to your account.
Do I need to share my Airbnb password with my team?
No. Co-host access lets people help manage your listing through their own accounts, so you never need to share your login.
How often should I review Airbnb co-hosts?
Review access from time to time, especially when staff or contractors change, and remove anyone who no longer needs it.
