How it works

You hand over a property, you get income and your weekends back

A short-term rental in Marrakech is not a listing you publish once. It is a price that moves every day, messages at all hours, a turnover to fit between an 11am checkout and a 3pm arrival, laundry to keep moving, an air conditioning unit that fails on a Friday, and a guest who rates all of it the next morning.

Hostoria takes the whole thing. We put the property online, we steer the price daily, we answer guests, we handle cleaning with our own salaried team and hotel linen, we follow up on maintenance, and we send you a full report on the 5th of every month.

We do not take every property we are offered. We take the ones we can bring up to standard, in the neighbourhoods where we actually operate. That is what lets us hold the same level on every single home instead of listing dozens of them.

What we do

What managing your Marrakech property covers

Seven blocks of work, all inside the same fee. Nothing else to pay, nothing else to follow up on.

Where we operate

We cover all of Marrakech

We manage properties across the city. We only take on the ones that genuinely work as short-term rentals: the right location, the right level of finish, and income that holds up across the year. If yours does not, we tell you straight.

  • Medina

    Riads and guesthouses in the historic core, the most sought-after part of the city.

  • Gueliz

    Quality apartments in the modern town centre, with a more even season year round.

  • Hivernage

    The grand hotel district, where finish and linen quality make the difference.

  • Palmeraie

    Villas with pool and garden, a strong product from June to September, longer stays.

  • Agdal and Prestigia

    Recent, secure residences, a property profile that rents all year.

Legal framework

Renting by the book in Marrakech

This is the first question owners ask, and rightly so. Renting a home to travellers in Morocco is a regulated activity: there are registration duties, a tax framework, and rules about who stays in your property.

We treat this as part of the job, not as a box to tick. Every guest is identified before arrival, registered on entry, and the condition of the property is documented from day one of management.

  • Identity and purpose of stay verified before every booking
  • Guests registered on arrival, the way a hotel does it
  • Group composition checked before entry
  • A signed, photographed inventory when management begins
  • Stay records kept and available to you at any time

About us

A management company built by people who operate

Hostoria is not an agency that added short-term rental to its catalogue. It is a trade learned on the ground, running properties, including our own.

Our story

Badr was an Airbnb adviser, then ran operations for a Marrakech agency of more than 50 properties. Clement managed more than 25 short-term rentals in France before moving to the Moroccan market. Hostoria came out of the same observation on both sides: most owners are not losing money because of the market, they are losing it on operations.

What we commit to

We never advertise guaranteed income. We give figures, their source and their date, and a detailed statement on the 5th of every month. You can check every line.

How we work

Cleaning is done by our own salaried team, not by casual help found the day before. Maintenance runs through a trades network already in place. We turn down properties we cannot bring up to standard, and neighbourhoods where we are not present. That is what lets us hold the same level on every home.

Who runs Hostoria

Two named contacts, each with their own remit

You know who does what, and you have both numbers. Nobody redirects you to a department.

Operations in Marrakech

Badr

On the ground daily. He runs cleaning, arrivals, maintenance and the condition of the property. He is the one who walks into the property, not a passing subcontractor.

Digital, your direct contact

Clement

He runs guest communication, pricing strategy and listing visibility. He is the one who sends your statement on the 5th and answers your questions.

Owners who trust us with their property

What owners say

Feedback from owners in our portfolio, published with their permission. We do not display more than we have actually received.

I handed over the management of our villa in Marrakech and I am genuinely pleased with the result. The house is always spotless and properly prepared before guests arrive. Everything is followed up, whether it is the cleaning, the upkeep or the small details that make the difference. It is reassuring to know our property is in good hands even when we are not there.

FAQ

What owners ask us before signing

What is your fee?

With Hostoria, 20% of rental income, with no add-ons. No setup fee, no admin fee, no subscription, and no cleaning billed per turnover.

When you compare two offers, the headline figure matters less than the scope it covers. Look at what gets added during the year: photography, laundry, consumables, works coordination, admin fees.

Can I still use the property myself?

Yes. You block your own dates in the calendar whenever you want, as often as you want. The property stays your home, we run it when you are not in it.

The only thing we ask is advance notice where possible, so we do not block a period that is already booked.

Do I need a licence to rent short-term in Marrakech?

No. There is no prior licence to obtain before putting a property on the short-term rental market in Marrakech. What is mandatory is registering guests on arrival, and that is on us.

The rest depends on your own situation: the property's status, its title deed, your tax residence. We go through it with you during the audit and tell you exactly what we take on.

When and how do I get paid?

Payouts land directly in your bank account. You then receive a detailed statement on the 5th of every month, with each stay from the previous month, the amount collected and what is paid out to you.

Nothing is rolled into a single vague line. You see every booking with its dates.

How long until the first booking?

The property goes live 72 hours after signature, once the photo shoot is done. First bookings usually land within days of going live.

A brand new listing starts with no reviews, which weighs on the first few weeks. We factor that into the launch pricing to build the review history quickly.

Am I tied in for a fixed term?

No. The first month is a trial you can end with no notice. After that, notice is one month, with no penalty and no minimum term.

We would rather keep an owner who stays because the numbers work.

My property is already with another agency, how does that work?

It is a common case and it goes smoothly. We look at your current figures and your existing listing first, then tell you plainly what can be improved and what is already good.

The handover is timed around your notice period and around bookings already taken, all of which are honoured.

Who pays for cleaning and linen?

It is inside the fee. Turnover cleaning, hotel linen washed and pressed, and welcome consumables are not billed to you on top.

Cleaning fees charged to the guest on the platform count as property income.

What happens if something breaks?

Badr is on site. A fault reported on a weekday is handled the same day. You are told the same day, with photos.

No work starts without your written approval. You get a quote first, not an invoice afterwards.

Which platforms is my property listed on?

Airbnb and Booking.com, on one synced calendar. The two channels reach different audiences, and the shared calendar removes any double-booking risk.

On top of that we have our own guest base. We keep the travellers who come back to Marrakech, and those stays go through no platform at all.

Do you take on every property?

No. We take homes we can bring up to standard, in neighbourhoods where we are present. A property outside the tourist areas, or one that cannot be brought to the level guests expect, will not serve you or us.

If your property is outside our scope we tell you during the audit, and the audit is still yours to keep.
