🏠 Introduction: Let’s Be Honest...

Running a holiday let seems simple, right?

Take a few bookings, message some guests, throw a cleaner in there, and cash the Airbnb payout.

Only… it's never that simple.

Soon you’re juggling cleaners, chasing guests for check-in times, handling late-night messages, and coordinating a “quick fix” that becomes a 3-hour saga.

You might not realise it yet, but self-managing your holiday let could be costing you far more than just time.

Here’s the reality most hosts don’t talk about, and what happens when you stop doing it all yourself.

🧹 1. You’re Not Doing the Cleaning - But You’re Still Doing the Work

Even if you’ve outsourced your cleaner, you’re still the one:

• Scheduling and re-scheduling based on bookings

• Checking photos or double-confirming it was actually cleaned

• Restocking or telling someone what to restock

• Noticing problems after guests complain about them

• Dealing with late check-outs, damages or missing items

You’re managing the people doing the jobs, which is often more stressful than doing it yourself.

💬 2. Guest Messaging Isn’t Just a “Quick Reply”

Pre-arrival. Check-in. Where’s the WiFi code? Why doesn’t the oven work?
And then the dreaded: “Can I check out late?” at 1am.

You’re not just answering questions, you’re managing expectations, defusing problems, and protecting your reviews. That takes time, tact, and frankly, headspace.

📉 3. You Might Be Leaving Money on the Table

You could be missing:

• Dynamic pricing opportunities

• Performance penalties for slow response times

• Calendar gaps because of last-minute changes

• Review hits that tank your visibility

You don’t just need someone to take the load off — you need someone who knows how the platforms work and keeps your listing competitive, visible, and well-reviewed.

🔁 4. You Built Flexibility - Now You’re Chained to It

Whether you're in the UK or managing from abroad, your let is still messaging, moving, and demanding attention. Holidays, family time, your actual job, it all gets interrupted.

A truly hands-off property isn’t about giving up control; it’s about knowing the right stuff is getting handled without you constantly checking in.

✅ 5. What LetSetGo Does (And Doesn’t) Do - So We’re Clear

We don’t:

• Do your cleaning

• Fix your leaky taps

• Touch your funds

• Offer tax advice

We do:

• Handle all guest communication - from enquiry to review

• Coordinate with your chosen cleaners and service providers

• Ensure seamless turnovers and fast response times

• Optimise your listing for better performance

• Spot gaps, slowdowns or issues before they become reviews

• Keep your calendar and pricing sharp and revenue-ready

In short: we take the operational chaos off your plate - so your property runs like a business without becoming your full-time job.

💡 Final Thought: Doing It All Isn’t a Flex - It’s a Risk

Lots of hosts start off thinking DIY is the smart move.
But when you’re drowning in messages, fixing issues from abroad, or losing bookings because you missed a response window… it stops being worth it.

LetSetGo helps you keep the earnings without losing your evenings, weekends, or peace of mind.
You still own the property; we just help you own the process.
