Discover how Cohotel’s Online Vacation Rental Management can save you over €1,100 net per month in time value costs, boost your property revenue, and deliver peace of mind for villas & hotels.
Managing your own vacation rental can seem straightforward, until you tally the hours spent juggling inquiries, pricing, guest care and issues, cleaning coordination, optimization, and marketing. At Cohotel, we specialize in Online Vacation Rental Management, delivering significant time savings alongside measurable financial gains.
Cohotel conducted in-depth research on the average revenue of the properties we manage and the typical hourly wages/time value of our clients. The results clearly show how partnering with us saves time, which equals money. Our clients enjoy success by reclaiming hours that truly matter and peace of mind.
Let’s break down what you actually keep after factoring in our fee:
The Hidden Time Cost of DIY Management
- Average value of our client’s time: €40–€80 / hr (based on client survey)
- Conservative baseline: €60 / hr
- Average daily management time: 1.5 hours (based on track-record)
- Workweek days: 5
Monthly time spend in terms of value = €1,800
This amounts to a time value over €20.000 annually. Time you can spend on your career, family, or on new investments.
Revenue & Cohotel Fee Breakdown
- Average gross revenue per property we manage: €3,500 / month (based on portfolio)
- Typical cleaning fee: €350 / month (approx. 10%)
- Net before Cohotel’s fee: €3,150
- Cohotel management fee (17% ex. VAT): €536 + €112 = €648, approx. €650
*Our fee is 100% performance-based, so no hidden charges. All of Cohotel’s technology and staffing investments are covered in our fee structure, aligning our incentives with your success.
Real Net Savings: Less than half of the Cost, Twice the Benefit
Let’s look at what you actually keep after comparing both scenarios:
- Time value you save by working with Cohotel
1.5 hrs/day × 5 days/week × 4 weeks × €60 / hr = €1,800/month - Cohotel’s fee
€650/month
Your net benefit:
€1,800 time value − €650 (inc. VAT) fee = €1.150/month.
In other words, for every hour you’d spend managing your property, Cohotel does it for less than half the cost on average, and our expertise often yields better guest reviews and occupancy too. That’s real incentive to partner with us: you save time and money, without sacrificing quality or peace of mind.
