Best Airbnb management companies in Brussels: the 2026 comparison

Rates collected on 4 August 2026 from each company's official website. Full disclosure: this comparison is published by Sabimmo — and we hold ourselves to the same rules as everyone else: public, sourced, dated figures only.

Brussels has about ten active Airbnb management companies, with published commissions ranging from 5% to 28% of rental income. Careful: those percentages don't cover the same scope — some exclude cleaning, linen or guest check-in, or add onboarding fees. This is the only Brussels comparison built from the rates each company actually displays, all checked on the same day.

Why 5% to 28%? Compare like with like

• MasterHost's “from 8%” is an online-only plan — no cleaning, no key handling, no maintenance. Their full management is 12%, VAT unstated.
• Low commissions shift costs elsewhere: with most operators, cleaning and linen are billed to the guest (which raises your listing's total price and can cost you bookings), and some add fixed fees — €250 photos, €200 listing creation, €200 audit.
• Incl. or excl. VAT? 20% excl. VAT = 24.2% incl. VAT. On €30,000 of yearly revenue, that's a €1,200+ difference.

That's why the real cost of a “cheap” manager often climbs to 35-45% once everything is counted — the full math is in our guide How much does an Airbnb management company cost in Brussels?

The 5 criteria that actually matter

1. The real scope of the commission — get the written list of what's included (cleaning? linen? check-in? maintenance? consumables?).
2. Proof through reviews — not website testimonials: public Airbnb, Booking and Google scores, at volume.
3. Regulatory compliance — regional registration, tourist tax, taxation: amid the ongoing Brussels regularisation campaign, a manager who doesn't raise it at the first meeting is a red flag.
4. Local presence — a team based in Brussels (not an overseas call centre) changes everything during a 11pm emergency.
5. Contractual freedom — no lock-in, no long exclusivity, no exit fees.

Frequently asked questions

What is the average management commission in Brussels?

Around 20-25% incl. VAT for genuine full management. Lower percentages usually mean a reduced scope (online-only) or costs shifted to the guest or the owner.

Does a lower commission mean more money for the owner?

Not necessarily: high guest-side cleaning fees hurt your booking rate, and well-run dynamic pricing often earns more than the commission gap. Compare estimated net annual income, not percentages.
