Your Airbnb, run locally.
Your listing stays yours.
LanesHost is a Brighton-based co-host. We handle pricing, guest messages, cleaners, linen and the new short-let rules, while your listing, reviews and Superhost status stay in your own Airbnb account.
Who it's for
You let your home while you're away
Summer, Pride, Fringe, long trips. We get it ready, host the guests and hand it back clean.
You own a furnished second home
We'll show you what it could earn as a holiday let and how the business-rates rules work.
You self-manage and you're tired
Late-night messages, cleaner no-shows, guessing prices. Hand it over and keep your account.
Simple pricing, no lock-in
| Plan | Fee | Best for |
|---|---|---|
| Year-round | 15% of booking revenue | Homes let all year |
| While you're away | 20% of booking revenue | Your own home, let only when you travel |
| Founding owner (first 5) | 12% for 12 months, £199 setup waived | Owners who join now |
Cleaning is passed through at cost and normally covered by the guest cleaning fee. 30 days' notice to leave, no exit fee. Your payouts keep going to you from Airbnb; we receive our share as an Airbnb co-host payout.

Defaults are the Brighton & Hove market averages reported by AirDNA for the 12 months to October 2026 ($200 a night converted at $1.3211 to £1, 56% occupancy). This is an illustration, not a forecast or guarantee. It is before Airbnb fees, cleaning, bills and tax.
You'll get a one-page report within 48 hours: likely nightly rates and occupancy by season, a year's earnings range, what we'd change on your listing, and a checklist of lease, mortgage, insurance, planning and safety points. Write to hello@laneshost.co.uk.
Questions
Do I lose my listing or reviews if I leave?
No. We work as a co-host on your own Airbnb account. If you leave, you remove us and keep everything.
Is short-letting allowed for my home?
It depends on your lease, mortgage, insurance and how often the home is let. We check these before we take a booking and tell you plainly if something needs consent.
Do you hold my money?
No. Airbnb pays you directly and pays our share to us as a co-host payout.
Will you take party bookings?
Never. We screen guests, set a 2-night minimum and keep a neighbour line open.
