Short-term rentals can be incredibly profitable.

But anyone who has hosted on Airbnb or Booking.com knows one thing:

It’s far from passive income.

Between guest messages, cleaning coordination, pricing, maintenance and regulations, hosting quickly becomes a full-time job.

That’s where Guest Bestie comes in.

A Boutique Approach to Short-Term Rental Management

Guest Bestie is a Cork-based short-term rental management company that helps property owners maximise income while delivering exceptional guest experiences.

Our philosophy is simple:

Hosting with heart.

Instead of operating like a large corporate agency, we take a personal, design-led approach to hospitality.

Every property is unique and deserves individual attention.

What We Do

Guest Bestie provides end-to-end property management for short-term rentals.

This includes:

Property Styling & Staging

We help transform spaces so they stand out in listings and photographs.

Small design improvements can significantly increase booking rates.

Professional Photography & Listing Creation

First impressions matter.

We create attractive, high-converting listings across major booking platforms.

Guest Communication

From booking enquiries to check-in instructions and issue resolution, we handle all guest interactions.

This ensures a seamless and professional experience.

Housekeeping & Maintenance Coordination

Reliable cleaning and property upkeep are essential for good reviews.

We coordinate trusted local cleaning and maintenance partners to keep properties guest-ready.

Regulatory Support

Ireland’s short-term rental regulations can be complex.

We help property owners understand requirements and manage compliance so they can host with confidence.

The Technology Behind the Service

Guest Bestie uses Sirvoy, an Irish based property management system (PMS) used by hotels and accommodation providers worldwide.

Sirvoy allows us to:

• Sync bookings across platforms
• Prevent double bookings
• Automate guest communication
• Track occupancy and revenue
• Manage operations efficiently

This means your property benefits from professional hospitality technology.
