Host Support: How We Work With Our Property Partners
Support at ValeStays isn’t a ticket queue — it’s a named point of contact backed by operations teams who are physically present at our properties every day. This page explains exactly what support you get as a ValeStays partner, through onboarding, daily operations, and everything money-related.
Support differs slightly by partnership model, so where it matters, we say which applies: Managed Partners (we operate your property end-to-end) and Distribution Partners (you operate; we handle listings, bookings, and guests’ acquisition).
Onboarding Support
From signed agreement to first guest, we run the setup with you:
- Property setup guidance — furnishing to our specification, with our team advising room by room on what matters for guest ratings and what’s wasted spend.
- Listing creation — professional photography, listing copy, and pricing placement, done by us for both partner models.
- Compliance walkthrough — what documentation, records, and local requirements apply to your property, and who handles what under your agreement.
- Go-live checklist — a joint inspection before the first booking, so the property meets standard on day one, not week three.
Typical onboarding: 3–6 weeks from agreement to first guest, driven mostly by furnishing timelines.
Day-to-Day Operational Support
For Managed Partners: there is nothing to coordinate — our building managers, housekeeping, and maintenance teams run your apartment daily. Your support need is visibility, and you get it through monthly statements and your point of contact for anything you want to know, anytime.
For Distribution Partners: you run operations; we keep the booking side frictionless —
- Booking and calendar management — confirmations, modifications, and calendar sync handled by our booking team, so double-bookings don’t happen.
- Guest handover coordination — guest details, arrival times, and special requests passed to you ahead of every check-in.
- Pricing and availability changes — one message to our team updates your rates or blocks your dates.
- Issue mediation — if a guest raises a problem mid-stay, our team works it with you to resolution; you’re not negotiating with an unhappy guest alone.
Revenue & Performance Support
Every partner gets a periodic performance review with their point of contact covering: occupancy for the period · rate performance against the portfolio · review scores and any recurring guest feedback about the property · and specific recommendations — pricing adjustments, amenity fixes, or upgrades — only where the earning math justifies them.
For how pricing itself works, see Pricing & Earnings.
Payments & Statement Support
Money questions get answered by a person who can see your account, not a chatbot:
- Every payout includes an itemised statement — bookings, collections, fees, net amount.
- Statement queries go to your point of contact and are resolved with the actual booking records in front of us.
- Disputed amounts are reviewed against evidence within the window defined in your agreement.
Escalation & Emergencies
- Routine matters — WhatsApp or email to your point of contact; responses within one business day, usually much faster.
- Active-stay urgencies — anything affecting a guest currently in your property is priority-handled; our on-ground teams and night staff operate 24×7, so a burst pipe at midnight is our problem to dispatch, not yours to lose sleep over.
- Emergencies — safety incidents get immediate response from the nearest building team, with you informed in parallel.

The Honest Version of “Why Trust Our Support”
We won’t list adjectives. The structural reasons our partner support works: the people answering you are the operators, not an outsourced desk — they can fix things, not just log them. Our teams are inside the buildings every day, so problems get seen before they get reported. And our incentive is aligned by design: we earn a share of what your property earns, so your occupancy, your ratings, and your apartment’s condition are our revenue line too.
