Guest communication for your serviced accommodation, handled every day

Guest messages do not wait for office hours, and every slow reply costs a booking or a review. A dedicated VA answers them in your name, from templates you approve, and brings you only what needs you.

Works in Airbnb, Booking.com, Guesty, Hostaway, Uplisting, WhatsApp

What your VA answers

  • Booking enquiries

    Questions about dates, parking, pets and group bookings, answered from your rules, with direct booking enquiries followed up.

  • Pre-arrival

    Check-in instructions, access codes and house rules sent at the right time, and confirmations chased.

  • Check-in help

    The guest who cannot find the key safe or the Wi-Fi code, helped quickly, with anything unusual passed to you.

  • During the stay

    Issues logged and passed to your cleaner or contractor, and the guest kept updated until it is sorted.

  • Check-out and reviews

    Check-out reminders, review requests and replies to every review in your tone.

  • Templates that improve

    Your templates kept up to date as questions repeat, so the answers get better every month.

What comes with your VA

  • A VA recruited and vetted for your role, then a paid test task before you hire them
  • Supervised from the UK: check-ins, performance and cover when they are off
  • Their contract and pay handled by us
  • The Mango workspace for tasks, messages, hours and a weekly report
  • Replaced if it is not working, with your procedures kept

You pay for work that has been done

The monthly fee is billed in arrears, after the month has been worked. The only thing paid up front is the one-off onboarding fee that starts recruitment.

Questions

Can they cover evenings and weekends?

A UK working day is already evening in the Philippines, and roles can be set later, or include weekend cover, where your guests need it. We agree the hours when we write the role.

Will guests know it is a VA?

They message your business as they do now. Your VA replies in your name and tone, from templates you approve.

What if something goes wrong at night?

You decide the rules: what your VA handles, what waits until morning and what comes straight to you.

What hours does the VA work?

UK business hours as standard. Our VAs are in the Philippines, so a UK working day is their afternoon and evening, and every role is advertised in both time zones.

When do I pay?

Monthly, in arrears: you pay for a month after it has been worked. The one-off onboarding fee is the only thing paid before your VA starts.

Is the VA an employee?

No. VAs work as self-employed contractors. On the managed service they are contracted to us and we handle their pay and performance; you direct the work.

Do I have to give them my passwords?

You should not. Give your VA their own login wherever the software allows, or share access through a password manager, so it can be removed in one step.

Will a VA work for your business?

Answer a few quick questions and get a free plan for your business: whether a VA would work for you now, what they would take off your plate, and what it costs next to a UK hire. Your call with us is booked from there.
