Bookings in real time
Every reservation appears the moment it is confirmed, with dates, platform and amount.
SHRTSTAYS manages your apartment, studio, villa, riad or guest house in Tangier end to end, for a commission of 20% (Essential) or 35% (Full Service) of income collected. You keep ownership and calendar control; we take on listings, pricing, guests, housekeeping, maintenance and monthly reporting.






Short-term rental management is not simply publishing a listing. It is a daily operation spanning marketing, pricing, hospitality and administration. Here is exactly what we run for every property under mandate.
We produce the photo shoot, write the listings in four languages, then distribute your property on Airbnb, Booking.com, Expedia, Hotels.com, Agoda and Google Vacation Rentals, plus our direct booking engine. Calendars are synchronised in real time by our management system: a booking on one platform instantly blocks the others, so double bookings cannot happen.
Rates are reviewed daily against real demand, the Tangier events calendar, Spanish and French school holidays, Tarifa ferry traffic and how full your direct competitors are. A fixed price typically costs between 15 and 25% of annual revenue.
In-person guest welcome or secure key box, hotel-grade housekeeping with a photo checklist after each departure, pressed white linen, welcome amenities, consumable restocking, and a trade network we can mobilise the same day. No spend above an agreed threshold is committed without your approval.
Every month, a single document: revenue by platform, nights sold, occupancy, average nightly rate, reviews received, itemised expenses and the payout made. No jargon.
Our two mandates are charged as a percentage of income collected: 20% for Essential, 35% for Full Service. There is no setup fee, no monthly subscription and no exit fee.

What the commission does not cover: building service charges, water, electricity and internet subscriptions, property insurance, major works and furniture. These remain yours and appear, where we advance them, as itemised lines in the monthly report.
Owners who manage alone generally achieve a lower nightly rate and lower occupancy, because platform ranking depends on response time, review volume and how fresh your pricing is.

We manage studios, apartments, villas, riads and guest houses in Tangier and its immediate surroundings. Three minimum conditions: a furnished and equipped property, a title or authorisation allowing rental, and sound general condition.
Short-term letting in Morocco involves several formalities: declaring the activity, keeping police forms for every guest, collecting and remitting the municipal tourist tax, declaring rental income, and holding insurance that covers rental use.
This block must be reviewed by your accountant or lawyer in Morocco before publication. Applicable rules vary by municipality and property status.
Every owner under mandate gets a personal login to their own owner portal. Your properties, your bookings as they come in, your revenue and your monthly statements — on desktop and on your phone.
