Companies are ranked by the Host Score, a score out of 100 based on guest satisfaction, occupancy and operating scale.

How the score works

Factor Maximum points
Guest rating30
Guest Favorite share30
Occupancy30
Operating scale10

Guest ratings earn 0 points at 4.3 or below, increasing evenly to 30 points at 4.8 or above.

Guest Favorite share and occupancy each earn 0.3 points per percentage point. For example, 75% occupancy earns 22.5 points. The occupancy comparison against the median does not affect the score.

Operating scale

We add together the days each company’s listings were live over the past 12 months, converted to listing-months (days / 30). For example, 10 listings live every day of the past year contribute 120 listing-months.

  • Small: fewer than 120 listing-months — 0 points.
  • Medium: 120–240 listing-months — 5 points.
  • Large: more than 240 listing-months — 10 points.

These labels reflect last-12-month portfolio activity, rather than the company’s age.

How to read the table

  • Occupancy and daily rate are listing-weighted averages for the company’s Airbnb listings over the past 12 months across all locations where it operates.
  • Guest Favorites shows the percentage of its listings currently carrying Airbnb’s Guest Favorite badge.
  • The +/− occupancy figure shows the difference in percentage points from the median occupancy of the companies in this table.
  • Rating highlights identify scores of 4.8 or above as standouts and scores below 4.4 as low.

Which listings are included

We include listings we track for that company that have been listed for more than 90 days and received at least one booking in the past 12 months. These criteria mean our listing counts may differ from those on a company’s Airbnb host profile.

Kenya Airbnb management company FAQs

  • What does the Airbnb management market in Kenya look like?

    This snapshot compares 21 Airbnb management companies managing 3,828 tracked listings in Kenya.

    Data note: These figures are estimates based on Airbtics' tracked Airbnb and short-term rental data. Actual occupancy, ADR, and revenue may differ from a company's internal PMS or owner reports.

    Of the 19 management companies we track in Kenya, ComfyResidences leads on Guest Favorites: 50% of its 6 listings carry Airbnb's Guest Favorite badge, against a 3% median across the city. It runs a 4.9 guest rating at 65% occupancy. Guest Favorite share is the clearest single read on consistent guest experience, but the table above lets you weigh it against occupancy, daily rate, and operating scale.
  • Which Airbnb management companies in Kenya have the best guest reviews?

    ComfyResidences (4.9), Wonderiss Homes (4.9) and Kennedy’s Residences L.P. (4.9) hold the highest guest ratings among Kenya management companies with at least five active listings. Where ratings tie we rank by the share of listings holding Airbnb's Guest Favorite badge. ComfyResidences ranks first because 50% of its listings are Guest Favorites.
  • Which Airbnb management company in Kenya is the best one for me?

    It depends on what you are optimising for. Travelnest is the most established operator in Kenya with 1,735 listings, and ComfyResidences posts the strongest booking performance at 65% occupancy. Claris African Experience earns the most per listing at KES2,898,142 a year, Forentum Luxury Home positions highest on nightly rate at KES49,871, and Acacia Apartments has grown its portfolio fastest at +367% year on year. Treat these as starting points rather than a final recommendation: the VRM Index in the table above folds guest reviews, Guest Favorite share, occupancy and operating scale into a single score if you would rather compare on overall strength.
