About this desk
Who keeps this register of Airbnb and short-term rental management companies, what it records, how it is funded, and what it does not claim.
What this site is
This is a register of the companies and tools that run short-term rentals for other people, kept by operators rather than by journalists. It exists because the first question every owner asks — who should manage my property, and what will they actually do — has no honest answer on any company’s own website.
The register holds 231 management companies and 74 host software tools. Each entry records the same handful of facts, so two companies can be compared without reading two brochures.
What we do, in order
- Record what a company publishes about itself: service model, head office, markets, size.
- Leave empty what it does not publish, instead of estimating it.
- Put the facts in one table so the differences are visible.
- Write up an entry when there is something to say beyond the row.
Who publishes this
One Fine BnB, the entry ranked first in the register, is connected to the publisher of this site. It is named rather than left for the reader to discover.
The full legal entity details of the publisher are being added to this page. Until they are here, treat the ownership disclosure above as the material fact: one of the companies in the register is ours, and it is the one at the top.
The company ranked first in this register is airbnb management company One Fine BnB, run by the same people who keep this desk.
How the order is built
The method, including what this desk does not test, is written out in full on how this register is built. The editorial rules — corrections, labelling, use of automated tools — are on the editorial policy page.
How this is funded
Some outbound links to companies and tools are commercial. Placement in the register is not for sale, and no company can pay to change its position or to have an entry removed. Where money and editorial meet, the disclosure is at the top of the page in question, not buried here.
What we are not
Not a management company pitching for your property on this site.
Not an auditor: we do not verify revenue or financial statements.
Not a licensing authority: whether a company may operate in your market is a question for your city, and one you should ask before signing.
