Owner questions
What commission does Hostel Toucan take?
Our model is simple and transparent, with no hidden fees: 20% incl. tax on bookings our concierge generates (platforms, marketing, listing optimization) and only 10% incl. tax on bookings you bring in yourself and that we manage for you. You only pay when your property generates income.
Are there hidden fees?
No. Many concierge services advertise an attractive percentage then re-bill cleaning, linens, online listings and interventions, so the actual take climbs to 30-35%. At Hostel Toucan, the commission is clear and everything is detailed in your reporting. The tourist tax and the security deposit are not included in the commission base.
How are cleaning and options billed?
Cleaning is charged at actual cost, with no hidden markup: 20 €/h for standard cleaning and 25 €/h with laundry (external provider), at your expense if the option is activated. Packages (maintenance, supplies, consumables) may be offered on quotation.
Do owners get personal occupancy days?
Yes. You have 15 days per year of personal occupancy (you or your loved ones) with no commission at all, simply by informing us in advance. Your property remains yours.
How can I seriously compare two concierge services on price?
Beware of 'percentage + extras' models: an advertised 15-18% may hide a markup on cleaning (often 30-50%), online listing fees, linens, etc. Always ask for the actual 'all-inclusive' cost and a sample statement. Our commitment: a clear rate, no surprises.
When and how am I paid?
Billing is periodic, based on the bookings made. Commissions and fees may be offset against the amounts to be paid back to you, and the balance is paid to you according to the agreed schedule. Rates expressed incl. tax.
What does Hostel Toucan management include?
A 360° service: creating and optimizing listings, dynamic pricing, calendar and booking management, guest communication 7 days a week, check-in/check-out (in person or self-service), cleaning and linen coordination, maintenance, dispute handling and detailed reporting.
On which platforms do you list my accommodation?
On the main platforms (Airbnb, Booking.com, Expedia, Google, Leboncoin) and our own sites, with an optimized listing. This multi-channel distribution maximizes visibility and occupancy rate.
Do you optimize prices (dynamic pricing)?
Yes. We apply dynamic pricing and yield management: prices adjust to the season, demand and events (space launches, holidays, trade shows) to maximize your income without sacrificing occupancy.
Do you offer a professional photo shoot?
Yes. Professional photos are part of listing optimization — it's one of the major levers of the booking rate and average price.
Do you manage cleaning, linens and maintenance?
Yes: professional cleaning between each stay, supply of linens and consumables (if the option is chosen), preventive and corrective maintenance with coordination of tradespeople. You have nothing to manage.
Who handles guests and disputes?
Our team handles the entire guest relationship 7 days a week: requests, arrivals/departures, assistance during the stay and handling of any disputes, to protect your reviews and your peace of mind.
Do you help improve my ratings and reviews?
Yes. A careful welcome, hotel-quality cleaning and linens, responsiveness and post-stay follow-up contribute to 5-star reviews, which improve your ranking and your booking rate on the platforms.
Who owns the history and the reviews?
We favor transparent management that adds lasting value to your property and its quality track record. Your performance and the reputation built serve your accommodation over the long term.
How does the setup work?
In a few simple steps: free estimate of your income, signing a management mandate, preparing the accommodation (equipment, professional photos), creating and publishing the optimized listing, then complete booking management. We support you at every step.
Is a management mandate required?
Yes. A management mandate clearly frames our mutual commitments (services, compensation, terms). You can generate a pre-filled mandate from our site, review it then sign it with complete peace of mind.
Am I committed for a long period?
We favor a relationship of trust based on results, with clear conditions specified in the mandate. Feel free to ask us about the commitment and notice terms before signing — transparency is part of our method.
Does my accommodation have to meet certain standards?
For good performance, the accommodation must be furnished and equipped to comfort standards (quality bedding, equipped kitchen, Wi-Fi, air conditioning depending on the territory, appliances). We advise you on the high-impact improvements to make before going online.
What insurance for my short-term rental property?
Non-occupant owner insurance (PNO) adapted to short-term furnished rentals is highly recommended. The platforms also offer their own guarantees (e.g. Airbnb's host protection). Check your coverage with your insurer; we guide you on the points to watch.
In which regions do you manage properties?
We manage properties in French Guiana (around Cayenne and the coast) and in Martinique (Fort-de-France, Trois-Îlets), and support owners in Guadeloupe.
How much can I earn by entrusting my property?
It depends on the location, the type of property, the season and the amenities. Use our online income simulator for an initial estimate, or request a free personalized estimate. We optimize occupancy and average price to maximize your net income — with no guaranteed-return promise.
How do I track my accommodation's performance?
You receive a detailed monthly report: income, occupancy rate, guest reviews and comparative performance. You keep full control over your investment, in real time.
Will I receive a report after each stay?
Yes: photos, inventory check, guest comments… you are informed of everything, even remotely.
How do I declare my income and what taxation applies?
Furnished rental income generally falls under the LMNP status, with a choice between the micro-BIC regime and the actual-expenses regime (depreciation). Taxation changes regularly: consult a chartered accountant and the tax authorities for your situation. Our dedicated articles (LMNP taxation, declaration, overseas tax relief) give you the main principles; they are informative and do not replace personalized advice.
Does Hostel Toucan handle my accounting and taxes?
We manage the rental operation (bookings, operations, reporting) and provide you with clear statements useful for your accounting. For the tax declaration and the choice of regime, we recommend a chartered accountant specialized in furnished rentals.
