Listings and pricing

We arrange a professional photo shoot and create the listings on the main booking platforms, as well as direct bookings on our website. Prices are adjusted every day by a pricing algorithm, based on demand, the season and what's happening in the region, to balance occupancy with the rate for each night.

Guests

We handle all communication with guests before, during and after their stay. We organise check-in, share everything they need to know about the home and the area, and someone is always available, 24 hours a day, to sort out whatever is needed. After each stay, we reply to the reviews.

The home

Cleaning is done by our own team, and bed linen and towels are washed in our own laundry. After each stay, the home is checked and restocked for the next guests. We also take care of maintenance, so the home is always in good condition.

Getting started

We don't take on every home: we start by checking whether yours is a good fit.

  1. Review request

    Tell us where your home is. We'll get in touch within 24 working hours to learn more about it.

  2. Visit and review

    We visit your home, let you know whether it's a good fit and present the review with all the figures and what needs preparing.

  3. Licence and preparation

    If you don't have a licence yet, we handle the process, which sometimes takes a few months. Meanwhile we prepare the inventory, linen and home kits, and do the photo shoot.

  4. Going live

    Once everything is ready, your listing goes online and bookings begin.

Everything in view, any time.

In the owner portal you can see your home's bookings, results, expenses and documents.

From Lagos, since 2016.

Rentalgest was founded in Lagos in 2016 as a family project. Sofia Fernandes, with extensive experience in hospitality, and Tiago Fernandes joined forces to bring that standard to holiday rental management. Today we have a multidisciplinary team that knows every home it manages.

  • A very competent and proactive Property management company. They have managed our house in Lagos since 2021 and we are very satisfied with their hands on approach. They handle all contact with the Guests and make sure that the house is always spotless when people arrive, including us as the owners.

  • …Their professionalism and dedication has managed to get our property to a full calendar of bookings including many repeat guests. We have had a great experience with Rentalgest and would recommend them for accommodation management.

  • Empresa super profissional!! A Rentalgest gere o nosso apartamento em AL há 3 anos, e só temos elogios a fazer. O check-in e serviço de limpeza é impecável e os hóspedes ficam muito satisfeitos com o serviço e acompanhamento. A Rentalgest também dá um excelente apoio na manutenção dos apartamentos, que é essencial aos proprietários que vivem longe. Gostamos muito de trabalhar com a Rentalgest e recomendamos vivamente.

Frequently asked questions

Why choose Rentalgest?

Rentalgest has been managing holiday rentals in Lagos since 2016, with a local team that knows the area and every home it manages. Our way of working comes from many years in hospitality: cleaning and laundry by our own team, quick replies to guests and owners, and attention to detail in every stay. Today we manage more than 100 properties, we have hosted more than 10,000 stays and over 85% of our Airbnb reviews are five stars.

How can Rentalgest increase my home's income?

Each home's prices are adjusted every day by a dynamic pricing algorithm that takes into account demand, the season, local occupancy, the competition and events in the region. The aim is to balance occupancy with the rate for each night, so your home earns throughout the year, not just in summer.

Listings have professional photography and are on the main booking platforms, as well as direct bookings on our website. And because reviews weigh heavily on how listings rank, we look after every stay so guests leave happy.

Why choose Rentalgest instead of managing my home myself?

Running a holiday rental takes work every day: answering messages at any hour, adjusting prices, organising check-ins, cleaning, linen and repairs. Without the time or the structure, it's easy to lose bookings or get reviews that put off the next guests.

With Rentalgest, we take care of all of this with a local team that knows the area and every home it manages. You follow the results in your portal, without having to deal with the day-to-day.

How much does the service cost?

We work on a percentage of what your home earns, so we only earn when your home does too. The figure depends on the home, its location and what needs preparing. In the review, which is free and with no obligation, we explain all the figures, with no hidden costs.

Can I use my home while Rentalgest manages it?

Yes, it's still your home. Just let us know the dates in advance and we'll block them on every platform, so no bookings come in for that period.

How can I follow what's happening with my home?

In the owner portal you can see your home's bookings, monthly results, expenses and documents at any time. And whenever you need, you can speak directly to our team.

When do I get paid?

At the start of each month, with the previous month's statement available in your portal.

Does my home need a holiday rental licence?

Yes, to rent to tourists your home must have an Alojamento Local (AL) registration. If it doesn't have one yet, we handle the whole process. It can take a few months, depending on the case, and in the meantime we prepare the home so it's ready when the licence comes through.

Which homes do you take on?

We work in the municipalities of Lagos, Vila do Bispo and Portimão. Before taking on a home, we visit it and assess whether it fits our portfolio. We only offer full management, all year round, because that is how we guarantee quality.

How long until my home is listed?

It depends on the home. If it already has a licence and is ready, it can be quick. If it needs a licence or some work, we'll tell you at the visit how long it will take.
