Homely

Homely is a property technology company that assists property owners in managing their short-term and vacation rentals. The company was established in 2019. It provides services for hosts on platforms like Airbnb and Booking.com, aiming to increase their earnings and streamline operations. Homely handles guest communications, listing management, pricing optimization, and maintenance support. The company's business model is centered on forming partnerships with landlords, hotel owners, real estate developers, and investment firms. Revenue is generated through an affiliate program where real estate agents can earn commissions by referring properties, and Homely receives a percentage from confirmed reservations.

The platform offers a range of services designed to improve the hosting experience. This includes advertising properties across multiple booking portals, vetting guests, and managing the entire guest experience from check-in to check-out. A key feature is their dynamic pricing strategy, where experts work with property owners to set optimal nightly rates based on balancing occupancy and demand. For property owners, Homely provides a dashboard with analytics to track earnings, occupancy, and guest reviews, offering greater control and transparency over their rental properties. The company operates in several locations across EMEA, including London, Lagos, Accra, and Dubai.
