Weeks of hard work are coming, the peak season has just begun and efforts are multiplying. It's time to get the most out of your tourist apartments. A priori, it may seem that the management of these houses It's a simple thing, but when the occupancy rates are high, especially in the summer months, taking care of all of them can be very tedious.

Let's talk about numbers

In 2022, 2,730 million reservations were registered for overnight stays in non-hotel accommodations, exceeding the figures for 2019. And these are the tasks that, as an owner or manager, you will have to face:

• Manage reservations and platforms designed to do so.
• Coordinate maintenance and cleaning tasks.
• Manage each tenant, changes and needs of each one.
• Manage basic supplies of each apartment.
  

How to distribute your tasks

After specifying figures and tasks, you are going to have to distribute the time in such a way that, apparently the most priority, consumes most of your available hours. For example: the booking management and tenant care. But what about the rest of the tasks?

Basic supply management

Managing reservations and caring for tenants are fundamental tasks, but you must not leave out others, such as the management of basic supplies. Let's give a concrete example: Marta is the owner and manager of an apartment intended for vacation rental in Malaga, on the beach front, with two bedrooms. With total occupancy during the months of June, July, August and September, invoiced in 2022 a total of €33,500. Some were generated total supply costs, including water, electricity, gas, internet, cleaning of the apartment and community of 4,400 euros during those four months.

At Polaroo, we calculate the time spent per month of 12 hours per property and supply, that is, Marta invested the summer months a total of 288 hours. We start from very high costs in managing supplies and from many hours spent collecting invoices and processing with suppliers. And the more homes you manage, those hours are multiplying and so are the efforts.
