Zulma for Hosts handles the turnover between guest stays for your Airbnb, Vrbo, or Booking.com rental. Automatically. You link your booking calendar once, and Zulma creates a turnover for each checkout, dispatches a vetted, insured Pro with a pre-assigned backup, and sends before/after photo proof so the unit is guest-ready the same day. One Pro owns the whole turn. This page walks you through getting set up. For how a turn actually runs, see how turnovers work; for the full picture, start with the hosts overview.
At launch, Zulma for Hosts serves Niagara Falls and Niagara-on-the-Lake.

​
What you’ll need before you start

Your calendar link

A read-only iCal link from Airbnb, Vrbo, or Booking.com. No account password. Just the public iCal URL.

Property details

Beds, baths, square footage, default check-in/out times, and access instructions (code, lockbox, or key).

Laundry setup (if you want it)

For our wash tiers: an in-unit washer/dryer and at least 3 par sets of linen. More on this below.

Authority to list

You’ll attest that you can list the property, hold any required STR licence, and carry adequate insurance.

​
Setting up, step by step

1

Add your property

Tell us the basics. Address, beds, baths, and square footage. Your exact per-turn price appears as soon as the property is added, so there are no surprises. Adding more than one rental? Multiple properties live under one account.
2

Link your booking calendar

Paste your rental’s read-only iCal link. Zulma polls it every 30–60 minutes, detects each checkout, and automatically flags same-day turns (a guest checking out and another checking in the same day). You never share your booking-site password. PMS integrations such as Hospitable are coming later. ICal works for everyone today.
3

Complete your property profile

Fill in beds, baths, square footage, whether there’s in-unit laundry, your par-set count, your default check-in/out times, and your access instructions. Check-in/out times come from this profile, not from the calendar. Your access instructions are stored encrypted. Only the assigned Pro sees what they need for the turn.
4

Sign your attestations

Confirm three things: you have authority to list the property, you hold any required municipal STR licence, and you carry adequate property/STR insurance. This keeps everyone protected and the service above-board.
5

Get approved

A real person reviews your property and attestations. Once you’re approved, your card is authorized for the first turn.
6

Your first turn is authorized

From here, Zulma generates turnovers on a rolling 4–6 week window from your calendar. Each checkout becomes a scheduled turn, dispatched to a Pro with a backup already lined up. Guest-ready the same day, with photo proof.

​
Choosing a laundry level

Laundry is optional and host-owned. You supply the linen, Zulma supplies none. Pick the level that matches your setup.
LevelWhat happensRequirements
L1, Turnover onlyWe clean the unit; you handle linen.None
L2, Turnover + WashBeds made guest-ready from your clean spare par-set; the used set is washed, with a photo of the dryer running. Open-loop, no-blame handoff.In-unit washer/dryer + 3 par sets
L3, Turnover + GuaranteedThe Pro stays the full cycle. Wash, dry, fold, store, photographed. All on the same visit (closed-loop).In-unit washer/dryer
L2 and L3 both need an in-unit washer/dryer. L2 also needs 3 par sets of linen so there’s always a clean set on the bed while the used one is in the wash. You can see exact laundry add-on pricing on the hosts pricing page.

​
A note on insurance

The Pro assigned to your turn carries their own $2M commercial general liability coverage. So you don’t need to carry CGL for the cleaning itself.
Most STR and host policies. Including AirCover-style coverage. Typically respond only while a guest is checked in, not during the turnover window between stays. Check your own policy so you know what’s covered when no guest is in the unit.

​
The fine print, stated plainly

We’d rather be clear about this up front than bury it. If a clean is missed or the unit isn’t guest-ready, Zulma’s liability is capped at the cleaning fee. Consequential losses. Guest refunds, relocation costs, lost nights. Are not covered, and standard force-majeure terms apply. If something isn’t right with a completed turn, tell us and we’ll make it right with a re-clean or a Zulma credit.

​
Pricing at a glance

Your turnover price scales with property size, and you see your exact number the moment you add a property. Commitment matters too. More turns per month means a lower price per turn, and that saving is shared with the Pro.
CadenceTurns / monthPer-turn discount
One-off1–30%
Weekly4–512%
2× / week6–920%
Near-daily10+28%
A same-day surge of +25% applies when a checkout and the next check-in fall on the same calendar day. That’s the tightest window to turn around. For the full breakdown of turnover levels, laundry add-ons, and worked examples, see hosts pricing.
Zulma isn’t charging sales tax during launch. Your price is all-in.
