Frequently Asked Questions

How much does Airbnb management cost in Athens?

MaClean's fee ranges from 12% to 17% + VAT on booking revenue, depending on the number of properties and their availability (see the packages above). The exact method of calculation and any additional costs (e.g. cleaning, consumables) are set out in advance in the terms of cooperation.

What does full Airbnb management include?

Listing management on Airbnb, Booking.com and VRBO, dynamic pricing, guest communication and support, booking management, check-in/check-out, profile and booking details screening, coordination of cleaning and maintenance work, and property readiness checks.

Is it worth handing my Airbnb over to a management company?

It depends on your time and how involved you want to be. Day-to-day guest communication, pricing, cleaning and coordination all require consistency — if you can't cover them easily, handing them over makes sense. For a first picture, try the free revenue calculator.

Do you handle Airbnb properties all over Athens?

Yes, in Athens and wider Attica: in the centre and its neighbourhoods (Pangrati, Koukaki, Syntagma, Kolonaki, Neos Kosmos, Mets, Ampelokipoi and more), and in the Southern Suburbs, with a particular focus on Glyfada, Voula, Vouliagmeni and Ilioupoli. For properties in the 1st, 2nd and 3rd Municipal Districts of the Municipality of Athens, first-time registration in the AADE Registry is suspended until 31/12/2026 — see the Compliance Guide.

Do you also handle Booking.com, not just Airbnb?

Yes. We manage listings on Airbnb, Booking.com, VRBO and other platforms, with central management of calendars and prices.

How do you set the nightly rate?

Prices are adjusted dynamically based on seasonality, demand, events in Athens and competition in your area, aiming for the best balance between occupancy and revenue per night.

Who takes care of the Airbnb cleaning?

MaClean's cleaning team schedules a turnover clean after every check-out — see the service on the cleaning page.

Do I need an AMA for Airbnb?

In the usual short-term rental case, yes: the property must be registered in AADE's Short-Term Stay Property Registry and obtain a Property Registry Number (AMA), which is shown on the relevant listings. More specific rules apply to properties operating with an ESL or another special regime. MaClean can guide you on the steps required and the details needed — see also the Compliance Guide.

Can you take on a property that isn't listed on Airbnb yet?

Yes. We can create and optimise the listing. Before it goes live, the property must be registered in the AADE Registry and have an AMA — we'll guide you through the steps.

Does MaClean become the "Property Manager" with AADE?

Not automatically. MaClean handles the operational management (listings, guests, cleaning). Who appears as the Property Manager in the AADE Registry depends on the form of the partnership and is set out clearly in the terms of cooperation.

How binding is the partnership?

The exact commitment period for each package will be set with you — see the indicative packages above.
