In short: AlicanteStay manages holiday rentals in Benidorm for 14 % + VAT of what you receive. We take care of listings, pricing, guests, cleaning and maintenance; you are paid for bookings directly by the platforms. We look after guests from 6:00 to 21:30. The first 3 months are a start-up period and after that there is no minimum term: you only need to give 30 days’ notice.
To manage a holiday rental in Benidorm, it is not enough to look at the price of other listings. The comparison has to take into account capacity, building, equipment and the total cost of the stay. AlicanteStay reviews those differences to guide the marketing and day-to-day operation of your property.
Comparing your apartment with genuinely equivalent properties
An apartment with easy access and a comfortable layout does not offer the same as one with more beds but less shared space. When preparing the proposal we look at what the guest actually gets, not just the floor area. If there is a communal pool or car park, its availability and rules must be confirmed before they are used as selling points. An advantage that is poorly explained can turn into a complaint.
A practical review before taking bookings
| Aspect | What to check | What it is for |
|---|---|---|
| Real capacity | Distinguish between beds and sofa beds. | Compare properties with a similar layout. |
| Building | State whether there is a lift, the access arrangements and the communal rules. | Reduce doubts before arrival. |
| Final price | Check charges and the length of stay. | Avoid comparing only a nightly rate. |
How we manage your property
First we review the condition of the property, the listing if one already exists, and the tasks you want to delegate. Then we agree the preparation, the calendar and the coordination of cleaning and guest support. For a new property joining us, coverage is confirmed based on the address and operational needs.
Management includes guest support from 6:00 to 21:30 and distribution on 20 portals, including Airbnb, Booking, Agoda and Vrbo. We use advanced AI tools together with a daily manual price review. We do not promise a fixed occupancy level: the result also depends on the property, demand and the dates available.
What information we need for a valuation
Send the location, capacity, bed layout, current photographs and the dates you want to use the property yourself. If the property is already active, add upcoming bookings and information on income and costs. With that information scenarios can be compared; without it, a profitability figure would be of little use.
Before starting the activity, check that the property qualifies and what requirements apply. You can read our guide to the procedures and documentation. For day-to-day operations, see booking management and dynamic pricing.
Holiday rental management with clear costs and reporting
AlicanteStay offers all-inclusive holiday rental management for 14 % + VAT. The owner is paid directly by the platforms and pays our fee after being paid. Before you sign, we set out the calculation base, the treatment of taxes and the services specific to your property.

Frequently asked questions
Should I lower the price to compete with more listings?
Not always. First you need to check whether the properties being compared are really equivalent and whether the listing explains the real advantages well. Price is decided together with availability, costs and demand.
How will I receive information about my property?
You get a monthly report and a portal with statistics, occupancy and profitability. It is important to separate bookings, stays and payments when interpreting the data.
What does the initial review include?
We review the starting point and your needs with you in order to prepare a proposal. The scope is set according to the property; it is not a guarantee of income.
