Guesty to sponsor Host Planet YouTube channel

Host Planet is delighted to announce a major sponsorship agreement with Guesty – one of the world’s leading property management software platforms.

Guesty will become the first sponsor of the Host Planet YouTube channel – which has grown exponentially in recent months.

As part of the partnership, Host Planet will publish two YouTube videos per month sponsored by Guesty, focused on delivering practical education and insights for short-term rental hosts and property managers. Guesty will receive prime visibility across the channel – including YouTube Shorts – plus social media clips and newsletter mentions distributed across the wider Host Planet ecosystem.

Host Planet’s YouTube channel has grown to more than 4,500 subscribers and generated more than 2 million views to date. The platform averaged more than 500,000 views per month during the final quarter of 2025. The sponsorship aims to build on this momentum by producing consistent, high-quality video content that connects with STR professionals across the globe.

James Varley, Founder and CEO of Host Planet, said: “We’re really excited to welcome Guesty as the sponsor of the Host Planet YouTube channel. Video has become one of the most powerful ways for us to educate and connect with hosts and property managers worldwide, and this partnership allows us to invest further in content that is genuinely useful, practical, and relevant to the industry.”

Guesty's Chief Marketing Officer, Kate Cox, said: "Short-term rentals are built on community, not just transactions, and we’re proud to continue our long-standing relationship with James and the Host Planet team. For us at Guesty, collaborations like this play an important role in creating a more connected and informed ecosystem, where operators have access to the insights, networks, and practical knowledge they need to operate more confidently at scale. Built on years of working together, this partnership reflects a shared commitment to supporting smarter decision making and long-term, sustainable growth for property managers."

Through the partnership, Host Planet and Guesty will collaborate on content designed to help hosts and property managers operate more efficiently, scale professionally, and navigate the evolving STR landscape. The series will form part of Host Planet’s wider mission to support the professionalisation of the global STR industry through trusted education and thought leadership.
