by Stacy Ingram – October 18, 2024
If you’re comparing short-stay managers, you’re probably looking for one thing: peace of mind with real returns.
Plenty of providers make promises, but Staivo is built differently. We focus on clarity, fair treatment for guests, and reliable delivery for owners. No credit card traps, no complicated fine print — just transparent service backed by a refund policy that works for everyone.
We keep it simple: when we say we’ll do something, we actually do it.
Fairness. Transparency. Real delivery.
While much of the industry leans on complex systems, credit card holds, and inflated forecasts, Staivo removes the guesswork. We protect owners with clear agreements, guests with a straightforward refund path, and everyone with a focus on trust.
With Staivo, you’ll always have:
That difference shows in results and in peace of mind.
| Feature | Industry Standard | Staivo |
|---|---|---|
| Payment approach | Credit card reliance, disputes and chargebacks are common | No credit cards required — safer, simpler, and stress-free |
| Refund policy | Complicated, often tilted to the platform’s side | Fair and transparent — both guests and hosts know where they stand |
| Support | Long queues, automated chat, limited accountability | Real people, quick responses, clear solutions |
| Service model | One-size-fits-all, little flexibility | Flexible options tailored to each property |
| Guest experience | Transactional, scripted communication | Thoughtful, human-led guest care with proactive support |
| Cleaning & upkeep | Outsourced services with variable quality | Trusted local teams with consistent quality control |
| Promises vs reality | High estimates that don’t always hold | Transparent forecasts, backed by proven delivery |
Trust you can feel. Results you can measure.
Staivo gives you more than management — we give you a service designed to be fair, transparent, and reliable. Owners get peace of mind, guests get a smooth stay, and properties perform to their full potential.
