Why use a concierge service for your holiday rental?

Time saved, guests better looked after, income optimised: what a concierge service really changes for an owner.

Short stays take more and more time. Answering guests, following bookings, organising cleaning and linen, stepping in when something breaks: it is a full-time job.

Save time and gain peace of mind

A concierge service supports you day to day and looks after your home for every stay. You gain peace of mind, especially if you live far from the home you rent out.

How much does it cost?

It is wise to allow between 20 and 40% of rental income for these services, excluding cleaning and laundry. At Marie Lou Conciergerie, the commission is 25% of turnover including tax, excluding cleaning and laundry.

These costs affect the return on your investment, so the choice of tax regime matters. Under the French régime réel, concierge fees are deductible expenses. Talk to your accountant.

Choosing the right concierge service

Compare offers, but do not stop at the price. The cheapest service is not always the most profitable if occupancy and the quality of the welcome suffer. Choose a team that is on the spot, reachable and truly knows the area.
