About HostKitCo

Hi, I’m Thomas — the founder of HostKitCo and an Airbnb host myself.

I manage one short-term-rental property alongside my other work. Like many independent hosts, I handle most of the guest communication and turnover planning myself.

It started with the same questions appearing during almost every booking:

“Where can we park?”

“What’s the Wi-Fi password?”

“What time is check-out?”

“Which bin should we use?”

None of these questions were difficult to answer. The problem was having to stop what I was doing and answer them again and again.

Turnovers created the same kind of stress. I needed one clear place to track bookings, cleaning, restocking and the small jobs that are easy to forget between guests.

So I built a simple system for my own property.

A clear Welcome Book gave guests the most important information before they needed to ask. Prepared messages made communication quicker and more consistent. A Turnover Tracker and cleaner’s checklist helped keep everything organised between bookings.

That system became the HostKitCo Turnover Kit.

I still use the same kit for my own Airbnb. Every part was created to solve a real task that independent hosts deal with — not to add more complicated software or another monthly subscription.

HostKitCo is made for hosts who manage their own properties and want a simpler, calmer way to handle every booking.

No complicated setup. No expensive software. Just practical templates you can personalise and start using straight away.
