How Revenue Sharing Motivates Cleaners

When cleaners see a direct benefit from early check-ins or late check-outs, they’re more likely to:

• Prioritize fast turnovers so the property is ready earlier.

• Say “yes” more often, increasing approval rates for guest requests.

• View guest requests as opportunities instead of burdens.

This alignment of incentives ensures guests get the flexibility they want, hosts capture more revenue, and cleaners feel valued.

Best Practices for Revenue Sharing

To make revenue sharing effective, follow these proven strategies:

1. Set Clear Percentages

Decide what portion of the fee will go to the cleaner. Many hosts find success with a 50/50 split or even a flat bonus per request. The goal is to make it worth their time without cutting too much into host profit.

2. Automate the Process

Manually tracking who gets what is messy. Use Gnarly Host’s built-in revenue-sharing feature to automatically split fees with cleaners. This ensures transparency, eliminates confusion, and saves time.

3. Communicate the Benefits

Be upfront with your team. Let cleaners know that revenue sharing isn’t just extra pay — it’s a way to reward them for helping you grow the business.

4. Tie Rewards to Performance

Consider offering slightly higher shares during peak seasons or when cleaners consistently approve requests on time. Small adjustments can keep motivation high.

5. Protect Against Overload

Balance approvals with cleaner bandwidth. Auto-deny features (like those in Gnarly Host) ensure no one feels pressured to accept a request they can’t realistically handle.
