Creating and editing an owner

Whether it’s to keep track of your property owners or to give them special permissions for their properties, you can add an owner directly in Guesty.

An "owner" is a property owner that you and/or your team manage. You can also manage the Owners Portal settings for your owners to use via Guesty.

The Owners Portal is a separate website for your property owners, powered by Guesty.
There, owners will be able to view data about their properties and earnings, block dates for personal stays, and more.
Learn more about activating and setting up your Owners Portal here.

Troubleshooting error message: "Email address already used"

If you’re unable to add an owner’s email address, the owner may already be registered in the Guesty system.

To resolve this, add +1 before the @ sign in the email address.
For example: john.smith+1@guesty.com

Tip:

The extension to the email address can be any combination of numerical and alphabetical characters (+123abc, +abc123, +1, +2, +3, +4, +5, etc.).
We suggest starting with +1, then continuing to +2, and so on.
