Worth it

Is an Airbnb Manager Worth It in the UK?

In 3 of the 7 UK cities AirROI compares, the typical company-run home earned at least 3% more Airbnb revenue than a similar owner-run home (same bedrooms and room type) over the 12 months to September 2026. In 2 of them the lead was 25% or more, enough to cover a 20% fee. Managers choose which homes they take on, so part of any lead reflects the homes.

Fees

How Much Does an Airbnb Manager Charge in the UK?

AirROI does not publish or estimate any single company's fee, so ask for the rate card in writing. Too few UK companies publish one to give a UK figure (2 of the 18 checked in London), so these figures pool the 180 companies it checked in 11 major Airbnb markets: 102 quote only on request, and the 17 that publish a rate charge 10% to 30% of booking revenue.

Median starting fee, worldwide: 17%
Published fee range: 10%–30%
Quote only on request: 102 of 180

In London, the typical year-round company-run home earned £46,100 over the 12 months to September 2026. A 17% fee on that is about £7,830 a year.

About This Data

Listings: Active Airbnb listings over the 12 months to September 2026: open to bookings through the year, each counted once per company for its host and for every co-host. Airbnb only: homes listed only on Vrbo, Booking.com or a company's own site are not counted.
Companies: A company's Airbnb accounts with 5 or more active listings are joined into one company, so counts and shares are floors. Companies that manage homes for owners are ranked; hotels, resorts and booking platforms are counted in the totals but not ranked.
Ratings: Airbnb's guest rating, averaged across a company's listings and weighted by their reviews. Shown from 4.7 over 100 or more reviews; the best-rated order needs 25+ listings and 500+ reviews.
Growth: Listings added on a company's own Airbnb accounts over 12 months, for companies that ran 10 or more a year ago. Co-hosted listings from a year ago are not fully recorded, and a takeover or a rename shows as growth.
Comparison: The typical company-run home against the median owner-run home with the same bedrooms and room type, on homes listed all year, in the 7 UK cities with a management page and 50 or more homes in each group.
Fees: Published owner terms on company websites, checked September 29, 2026, pooled across the companies checked. No company's fee is shown.
Independence: No company can pay to be listed or ranked, and nothing is self-reported. The ranking is updated every quarter; this edition on October 20, 2026, the next in January 2027.
