Who you will work with

Hi, I’m Mehdi, the founder of Stelio

I grew up in Blois, in France, then lived in Brisbane, Australia, where I ran my own Airbnb cleaning business for two years. Turning over properties between guests taught me what really makes the difference: spotless cleans, quick replies and someone who actually shows up when something goes wrong.

I started Stelio to bring that same hands-on care to Auckland property owners. When you work with Stelio, you deal with me directly.

Pricing

One simple commission. No surprises.

We only earn when you earn. No setup fee, no monthly fee.

18%

of your nightly booking revenue

  • Professional photos and listing setup
  • Listing on Airbnb, Booking.com and Vrbo
  • Pricing adjusted to demand
  • Guest messages, check-in and support
  • Cleaning, linen and restocking organised after every stay
  • Monthly statement of your income

Cleaning is paid by your guests

A cleaning fee is added to each booking and paid by the guest, not by you. We organise the clean, fresh linen and restocking after every stay.

No lock-in

No minimum term. If Stelio is not right for you, cancel anytime with 30 days’ notice.

The commission is calculated on the accommodation amount paid out for each stay, excluding the cleaning fee.

Frequently asked questions

How much does Stelio cost?

18% of your nightly booking revenue. There is no setup fee and no monthly fee. The cleaning fee is paid by your guests on top of the nightly rate, so it does not come out of your income.

How do I get paid?

The booking platforms pay your rental income directly into your own bank account. We never hold your money. Our 18% commission is paid separately: either the platform sends our share to us automatically, or we send you a simple monthly invoice.

I already have a listing. Will I lose my reviews?

No. We join your existing Airbnb listing as co-host. It stays in your name, with all your reviews and booking history. We simply take over the day-to-day running.

Is there a minimum contract?

No. There is no lock-in and no minimum term. You can stop anytime with 30 days’ notice. Bookings already confirmed go ahead as planned.

Who pays for cleaning?

Your guests. A cleaning fee is added to each booking on Airbnb, Booking.com and Vrbo. We organise the clean, fresh linen and restocking after every stay.

Can I still use my property myself?

Yes. Just tell us the dates you want and we block them in the calendar on every platform.

What happens if a guest damages something?

We check the property after every stay and send you photos of any problem. We then handle the claim with the booking platform, for example through Airbnb’s host protection. We also recommend checking that your home insurance covers short-term letting.

Am I allowed to rent my property short term?

It depends on your property. If you are in an apartment, check your body corporate rules, and make sure your insurance and mortgage allow short-term letting. We help you go through these points before your listing goes live.

Which areas do you cover?

Auckland and the surrounding areas within about 45 minutes’ drive of the city centre: central suburbs, North Shore, Hibiscus Coast, West, East and South Auckland. Not sure about your suburb? Ask us.

How quickly can my property be listed?

As soon as the photos and setup are done. We agree on a start date together when we send you your estimate.

Privacy

When you ask for a free estimate, we collect your name, your email or phone number, your property type, its suburb and postcode, and how often you plan to rent it out.

We use this only to reply to you and prepare your estimate. Your answers are sent to us through Web3Forms, a form delivery service. We do not sell your information or share it with other companies for their own use. We keep it only for as long as we need it to deal with your request.
