Your home on the channels that matter

Your home is marketed on the right channels, with coordinated listings and bookings. Whether a channel is activated depends on eligibility and how the home is set up.

  • Airbnb
  • Booking.com
  • Vrbo
  • Google Vacation Rentals
  • prima.holiday

Booking-channel names are mentioned for information only. Prima is not affiliated with, certified by or endorsed by Airbnb, Booking.com, Vrbo or Google. This page is not a guest booking journey.

Stays organised, from booking to departure

Guest messages, arrival preparation, welcome according to the plan and follow-up during the stay: the team coordinates the day-to-day steps.

The right rate is not the same all year

Rates move with seasonality, demand, occupancy, the pace of bookings and remaining availability. We also work orphan nights and harder-to-sell periods, looking for the right balance between occupancy and revenue per night.

A home prepared with care

Home preparation, housekeeping checks, inspections and coordinating maintenance: we organise the follow-up so guests arrive in good conditions. Support for owners and guests, 365 days a year.

You hand over the day-to-day, you stay informed

Check your calendar, follow activity and plan personal dates from your Lodgify owner access.

How your home joins Prima

  1. 01

    Discovering the home

    We visit the property, discuss your aims and check what is needed to take it into management.

  2. 02

    Set-up

    Contract, home information, inventory and preparation of what is needed to operate it.

  3. 03

    Photography and listing

    We organise professional photography and prepare the presentation content for the home. Photos are billed at the contract cost and remain the owner’s property.

  4. 04

    Distribution and pricing

    The right channels are configured, the calendar is prepared and the pricing strategy is put in place.

  5. 05

    Opening to bookings

    Once the home is ready, we open marketing and the team takes over the operational follow-up of stays.

Set-up usually takes about two weeks when the home is ready and everything needed is available. That is not a contractual guarantee.

We organise professional photography. It is billed at the cost set in your contract and remains the owner’s property.

Three concierge plans

Short-term concierge only. Percentage + VAT on net rental income, after the booking fees of the selected channel. See the calculation through to what you keep

Short-stay rental

Between stays, a supervised preparation

After departure, preparation of the home is supervised through to the check before the next arrival.

You keep continuity of follow-up, the quality of the preparation, and visibility of what was done.

  1. 01

    Check after departure

    The supervisor looks at the state of the home when the guest leaves.

  2. 02

    Clean and prepare

    The team cleans the home and prepares the beds.

  3. 03

    Restock and report defects

    Consumables are replaced. Defects that are found are reported.

  4. 04

    Final check before arrival

    The supervisor checks the home before the next guest arrives.

What the supervisor does

The supervisor checks the home, supervises cleaning and the beds, reports defects, changes the lockbox code when needed, restocks, drives, and does the final check. The team is 1 vehicle, 1 supervisor and 2 cleaners.

A reported defect is not an automatic repair.

Home preparation, self arrival, and in-person welcome

Home preparation

This sequence applies between stays. Turnover cleaning follows the rate grid, except on All Inclusive Host where it is included. Other interventions stay on the grid.

Self arrival

Essential Host: the guest arrives and leaves on their own.

In-person welcome

Premium Host and All Inclusive Host: check-in and check-out are in person.

Use your home whenever you wish

Block your personal dates on your calendar. When you stay in your own home, no management commission is charged. Housekeeping remains billed on the applicable grid; Prima linen and consumables are included when Prima prepares the home. Any extra interventions or services remain separate.

Dates are blocked on the calendar; a confirmed guest reservation is not moved to free those dates.

All Inclusive Host is the name of a plan that includes turnover cleaning. It does not mean every visit or every stay is included without conditions.

Do you already work with a housekeeper?

If you already have a trusted housekeeper you would like to keep, we can bring her into the organisation of the home. Prima coordinates turnovers, preparation and operational follow-up with her so she fits how the property is run.

Prima does not automatically become her employer. Integration still needs a minimum fit with operational requirements.

Coordinated maintenance, in full transparency

When work is needed, we coordinate the contractor and follow the request. Prima does not add a markup on interventions: invoices are made available in your owner space.

Small jobs can move forward quickly

A pre-authorisation of MUR 3,000 per intervention lets us handle small necessary spends quickly. Above that, your approval is asked before the spend is committed.

If the home has not been occupied during the five days before the next arrival, we carry out a weekday refresh at no extra charge: a check, airing and light reset to make sure everything is ready.

Daily: Rs 600, whatever the number of bedrooms.

5- and 6-bedroom homes: a tailored rate according to the layout of the property.

All Inclusive: turnover cleaning included (no separate fee).

Talk about housekeeping

Sample calculation — scenario assumptions

Before you hand over your home, you should be able to see how every euro is calculated.

Rental income, booking fees, net, Prima fees, VAT, then housekeeping or other applicable services: through to the estimated amount that comes back to you.

The figures below illustrate a typical stay. They do not represent a real reservation.

Airbnb
15.5 % · assumption
Booking.com
16.5 % · assumption
Prima direct booking
11.5 % incl. VAT

This comparison only covers the booking-fee rate used by the calculator. It does not promise that the guest price or owner income will always be more favourable on a direct booking.

Plan
Booking scenario

For Essential and Premium, one turnover clean is a pedagogical assumption of €80.00 incl. tax — not a real grid rate. For All Inclusive, turnover housekeeping is not billed separately.

I have now entrusted my property to Prima Holiday for two years. The team handles the full management, from marketing to guest communication, while also following up on site. I particularly appreciate the team’s availability and being able to follow reservations and my home’s performance so simply.

I joined Prima Holiday a year ago to simplify the management of my short-term rental. The team takes care of bookings, guest communication and property follow-up. I also appreciate their approach to rates and marketing, with the aim of optimising reservations while keeping management simple for the owner.

“Bookings, guests and the various on-site needs are taken care of, while I keep good visibility.”

I have been working with Prima Holiday for two years and I appreciate being able to leave the day-to-day management of my home to a local team. Bookings, guests and the various on-site needs are taken care of, while I keep good visibility on my property’s activity. It is a real gain of time and peace of mind every day.

Frequently asked questions

Can I stay in my home?

Yes. You can block your personal dates. When you stay in your own home, no management commission is charged. Housekeeping remains billed on the applicable grid; Prima linen and consumables are included when Prima prepares the home. Any extra interventions or services remain separate.

Can I keep my housekeeper?

Yes, if you would like to keep her. We can bring her into how the home is organised and coordinate turnovers, preparation and follow-up with her. Prima does not automatically become her employer, and integration still needs a minimum operational fit.

What fees apply to a direct booking?

For a booking made directly with Prima, booking fees are 10% excl. VAT + VAT, i.e. 11.5% incl. VAT. They replace platform fees. Your plan’s management fees are then calculated on net rental income after those fees.

What is included in the packages?

A shared base (listing, messaging, calendar, linen, pricing, follow-up) sits in Essential, Premium and All Inclusive. Differences are mainly welcome, guest support and turnover housekeeping.

What extra costs apply?

Prima fees and VAT, the selected channel’s booking fees (platform or 11.5% incl. VAT for Prima direct), and turnover housekeeping when it is not included in the plan (Essential and Premium). Turnover housekeeping is included in All Inclusive; other visits (deep clean, during the stay, daily, and so on) stay on the grid. Tourist tax is collected and remitted separately. Detail is in the calculator and the housekeeping grid.

Do you take a markup on repairs?

No. Prima does not mark up contractor interventions. We coordinate the work, and invoices are available in your owner space.

What happens for a small repair?

A pre-authorisation of MUR 3,000 per intervention lets us handle small necessary spends quickly. Above that, your approval is asked before the spend is committed.

What happens if there is a problem during a stay?

If something goes wrong during a stay, our team organises the response and the interventions suited to the situation, within your support.

How do I follow reservations?

Check your calendar, the rates applied and the stay history from your Lodgify owner access, and speak with the team.

Are you available all year?

Yes. Our organisation answers owners and guests 365 days a year.

Am I tied to a minimum term?

Our concierge contract has no fixed-term commitment. How the collaboration ends is set out in your contract.
