Managing an Airbnb is time-consuming. A VA handles routine work like guest replies and bookings so you can focus on scaling.

Yes, 100%. VAs work online and can handle everything that doesn’t need to be done on-site. That includes managing queries, updating listings, managing pricing tools, and more.

Platforms like Wishup pre-train their VAs on Airbnb operations, tools, and workflows. You don’t have to teach them from scratch since they come ready from day one.

If you need flexibility, lower costs, and faster onboarding, a virtual assistant is often the smarter choice. You don’t have to worry about benefits, office space, or long hiring cycles. For roles that require physical presence, a full-time employee may fit better, but for most Airbnb-related tasks, a skilled VA can do the job better.

Yes. At Wishup, you get a VA who works during your business hours, so there’s no delay in communication or task handling.

Your VA should know tools like Airbnb, Google Calendar, Canva, ChatGPT, Zapier, and dynamic pricing platforms. Bonus if they’re also familiar with guest messaging tools and listing platforms.

Not really. It’s much cheaper than hiring in-house help, and you only pay for the hours you need. With the time you save, it usually pays for itself.

With Wishup, it’s a 3-step process and you can get started within an hour. Just talk to an expert, get matched with a VA, and you're good to go.

You can talk through email, Slack, Zoom, or whatever works for you. Most VAs adapt to your workflow and tools.

Start by listing the tasks you want help with, like guest communication, calendar management, listings, etc. Then look for Airbnb virtual assistant services that specialize in short-term rental support.
