wolpersweb manages your holiday apartment in Düsseldorf and the surrounding area completely: Listing, prices, guests, cleaning, billing. You only see the payment – and the monthly report.
Non-binding initial consultation · Response within 24 hours
From the first photo to the monthly billing: We take on every step of the short-term rental process – you retain full control of your property.
We build your Airbnb listing from scratch: title, description, amenities details and categorization – so that guests book instead of scrolling further down.
Trade shows, events and seasonal events determine demand in Düsseldorf. We continuously adjust your nightly rates, rather than imposing a fixed price.
Visibility in the Airbnb ranking determines your occupancy. We optimize your ad, response times, and booking settings for better rankings.
We organize high-quality photos of your property. Good photos are the biggest single factor in click-through rates and booking rates.
Inquiries, questions, special requests, and reviews: We respond quickly and courteously – 24/7, in German and English.
Whether key handover, Smart Lock or key box: We ensure a smooth arrival and departure – even if you arrive later.
After each guest, your apartment is cleaned to a hotel standard; the bedding and towels are changed. We automatically replenish the supplies.
If something should break, we document the damage, handle the regulatory process through Airbnb or the guest, and take care of the repair.
Once a month, you get a clear overview: bookings, occupancy, revenue, costs. No hidden charges, no surprises.
Even managing it yourself costs you hours every week – and yet bookings remain low. Here’s how the difference looks in concrete terms:
| Task | Self-management | With wolpersweb |
|---|---|---|
| Advertisement & Photos | Homemade, often poorly optimized | Professionally created & continuously optimized |
| Pricing | A fixed price, potential wasted | Dynamically according to demand & events |
| Guest requests | In the evening, on weekends, on vacation | Answered 24/7 – without you |
| Check-in / Check-out | In person on site or improvised | Organized, even for late arrivals |
| Cleaning & Laundry | Even coordinating can risk failure | Fixed process after each checkout |
| Reviews | Fluctuating, little influence | Active evaluation management |
| Billing & overview | Excel lists, looking for evidence | Monthly report with all the figures |
| Your time commitment per week | 5–10 hours | Almost zero |
It usually takes only a few weeks from the first contact to the first booking.
We assess the situation, facilities, and market environment of your property and estimate the realistic booking potential.
You speak directly with Christian Wolpers – not with a call center. We clarify goals, conditions, and open questions.
Ad, photos, prices, cleaning and check-in procedures: We set everything up and broadcast your accommodation live.
From now on, the rental process runs in the background. You will receive payments and the monthly report – nothing more.
Move the controls and see a model calculation for your apartment – based on typical effects of professional management.
Estimates are sufficient – we will work together to perform the precise analysis.

Since 2016, we have been providing support to companies from Düsseldorf and the region – on a long-term basis, with fixed contact persons instead of changing project teams.
You speak directly with the owner – before the contract, during the support, and when something gets stuck. No hotline, no ticket system.
wolpersweb is a privately owned agency based in Düsseldorf, founded in 2016 by Christian Wolpers. What sets us apart from anonymous management platforms: we have a dedicated contact person who knows your apartment, your finances, and your goals – and who answers the phone when you call.
We combine local market knowledge – from trade fair demand in Düsseldorf to contractor housing in the Ruhr region – with clean technology: optimized listings, dynamic pricing, clear processes, and reporting that you actually understand.
Düsseldorf is one of the most attractive locations for short-term rentals in Germany. Messe Düsseldorf attracts hundreds of thousands of visitors every year with events such as boot, MEDICA, drupa or the Caravan Salon. In addition, business travelers from the many corporate headquarters, Japan Day, Carnival, concerts at the Merkur Spiel-Arena and a steady stream of city visitors come along. For owners of holiday apartments, serviced apartments and mobile homes, this means high demand, highly fluctuating prices – and a lot of work if you want to really exploit the potential.
This is where professional Airbnb management comes into play. As a co-host, we take on the complete operational management of your property: from creating the listing to adjusting the price daily and handing over the keys at 11 p.m. You remain the owner and decision-maker; we handle the implementation.
A Co-Host (officially „Co-Host“ on Airbnb) is a person or agency that, on behalf of the owner, manages the rental. At wolpersweb, this includes creating and maintaining the listing, responding to all guest inquiries, organizing check-in and check-out, coordinating cleaning and laundry after each stay, managing reviews, and billing monthly. Your Airbnb account remains your property – we operate as an officially registered Co-Host or through a jointly agreed account structure, whichever is more convenient for your situation.
Transregional administrative platforms work with standardized processes and changing contact points. A local Airbnb agency, on the other hand, knows the specifics of the market: During major trade fairs, significantly higher nightly rates can be achieved in Düsseldorf than on ordinary weekends – those who work with static prices here save a lot of money. Conversely, in weeks with weak demand, smart minimum stays and adapted prices are needed to avoid vacancy. The target groups also differ depending on the location: An apartment in Pempelfort or Flingern appeals to city travelers, while an apartment in Rath or Reisholz is more likely to attract trade visitors and contractors, and an apartment in Meerbusch or Neuss often serves business travelers with cars.
The remuneration for vacation rental management is usually calculated as a percentage of the booking revenue in the industry; in the market, it is typically between 15 and 25 percent, depending on the scope of services provided. What matters is not the percentage, but the bottom line: a professionally managed property usually generates significantly more revenue than a self-managed apartment – thanks to better visibility, dynamic pricing, and higher ratings. The administrative fee often covers this cost itself. We create your specific offer after a free analysis of your property, transparently and without hidden additional costs.
Anyone who rents out residential space in Düsseldorf and other cities in North Rhine-Westphalia for a short period of time must comply with the requirements of the NRW Housing Renovation Act and the respective municipal regulations – this includes in particular the residential identity number that must be stated in the advertisement, as well as, depending on the situation, a requirement to obtain permission for non-residential use. We will point out the relevant points for your property during the initial consultation and assist in setting up the advertisement correctly. Only a lawyer or the competent authority can perform a legally binding assessment of your individual case – however, we ensure that your advertisement is set up formally and correctly.
In addition to Düsseldorf, we manage accommodations in Neuss, Ratingen, Meerbusch and Krefeld, as well as in Cologne and the Ruhr area. Especially apartment rentals between Duisburg, Essen and Dortmund are a stable market with long stays and low maintenance costs – ideal for investors who prefer predictable returns. For Cologne, there are specific local rules for short-term rentals; we can also assist you in implementing these correctly.
In short: for anyone whose time is more valuable than the administrative fee. Typical customers are owners who are busy with work and are tired of being constantly reachable; capital investors with multiple units who want to scale without having to build a team themselves; heirs of apartments they want to rent without having to work with Airbnb; and landlords whose occupancy rate remains below expectations despite the good location. In all these cases, the collaboration starts the same way: with a free, non-binding potential analysis of your property.
A percentage share of the booking revenue is customary; on the market, the typical range is approximately 15 to 25 percent, depending on the scope of services provided. You will receive your specific offer after the free analysis of your property – transparently, with no hidden costs.
The complete operation: creating ads, photography, dynamic price optimization, 24/7 guest communication, check-in and check-out, cleaning and laundry, damage management, and monthly billing with all key metrics.
A co-host manages the rental on behalf of the owner – from the inquiry to the departure. On Airbnb, a co-host can be officially listed in the ad. You remain the owner and retain control of your account.
Yes. We work as a registered co-host on your account or in a jointly agreed structure. You can view all bookings, messages, and payments at any time.
Yes. You simply block out desired periods in the calendar – for personal use, family, or renovations, for example. The rental will continue during the remaining times.
With an already established property, it usually takes between two and three weeks: analysis, discussion, setting up of the ad and procedures; then your apartment goes live.
We – around the clock, in German and English. Fast response times also improve your listing's ranking on Airbnb.
Yes. After each checkout, the accommodation is cleaned, the bedding and towels are changed, and the supplies are replenished. The cleaning costs are usually borne by the guest through the cleaning fee.
We document the damage immediately, report it via the Airbnb protection program or to the guest, and coordinate the repair. You will be informed, but you don't have to worry about anything.
Basically, yes, but in NRW the Wohnraumstärkungsgesetz and municipal regulations apply: Ads require a housing identity number, and depending on the scope of use, a permit may be required. We will point out the relevant points for your property during the initial consultation; in uncertain cases, the competent authority or a lawyer will carry out the legally binding assessment.
Düsseldorf, Neuss, Ratingen, Meerbusch and Krefeld, as well as Cologne and the Ruhr area. For properties in other cities in North Rhine-Westphalia, simply ask – often we can arrange for support.
Yes. We manage self-contained housing and serviced apartments with adapted processes – longer stays, different target groups, different pricing logic. Especially in the Ruhr area this is a stable, predictable market.
Through three levers: an optimized listing with professional photos, dynamic pricing adjustments based on events, seasons, and trade shows, and consistently good reviews through quick communication and reliable processes. All three factors also improve Airbnb’s ranking.
