Software to Manage Cleaning and Maintenance for Holiday Cottages

HolsUK is an all-in-one platform where the cleaning and maintenance tools are deeply integrated with the booking calendar. The real power comes from a booking automatically triggering a cleaning task. While you could manually enter bookings to use the cleaning features alone, you would miss out on the core automation that saves so much time. Our simple subscription includes all features—channel manager, direct booking website, and operational tools—so you get a complete, connected system for one price, offering far more value than a standalone cleaning app.

It’s simple and requires no app download. You invite your cleaner to the platform via email. They click a link to create their own free, secure login. From then on, they can access their dedicated web portal from any device with an internet browser—phone, tablet, or computer. In their portal, they will see a clear list of their assigned cleaning jobs, along with dates, property details, access notes, and any checklists you have assigned. They cannot see your financial data or other sensitive information, only what’s needed for their work.

We understand that not everyone is comfortable with digital tools. While the platform is most powerful when your team interacts with it directly, you can still manage operations centrally. From your dashboard, you can view the full team schedule and print a daily or weekly job sheet for any team member who prefers paper. You can then manually mark their cleans as 'complete' in the system on their behalf. This allows you to maintain a central record of all activity, even when working with less tech-confident staff, ensuring the system remains your single source of truth.

Yes, absolutely. We know that a one-bedroom flat in York has different needs to a six-bedroom farmhouse in Northumberland. You can create an unlimited number of checklist templates in HolsUK. You might have a 'Standard Changeover' checklist, a 'Deep Clean' checklist, and property-specific checklists. For example, 'Seaview Cottage' might include 'Wipe down storm windows', while 'The Lodge' includes 'Check hot tub chemicals'. You simply assign the correct checklist to each job, ensuring your specific requirements for each unique property are always met.

No. HolsUK provides the software to manage cleaning and maintenance for holiday cottages; we don't act as a contractor or agency. The platform is designed to help you organise and communicate far more effectively with *your own* trusted local team of cleaners, handymen, plumbers, and electricians. You invite your existing contacts into the system. When an issue is reported, you assign the job to your preferred person. Our role is to provide the communication and tracking tools to make that process seamless, not to replace your valued local professionals.

Yes, many of our hosts manage a single property. For a single-property owner, the primary benefits are automation and professionalism. The system removes the mental load of remembering to text your cleaner after every booking. It provides a professional portal for your team and a permanent log of all maintenance work. It also establishes a robust, scalable process. As you consider adding a second or third property in the future, your operational system is already in place, ready to grow with you without any disruption or need to change how you work.
