How to read Airbnb ratings correctly
The Airbnb review scale should not be read as an ordinary linear scale from 1 to 5: in professional hospitality on Airbnb, 5 stars represent excellence. As a result, seemingly small differences in the average can reflect significant differences in how often guests give ratings below 5 stars.
That is why a rating of 4.87 and a rating of 4.60 cannot be considered essentially equivalent just because both are above 4 out of 5. Across thousands of reviews, keeping an average close to 5 requires far greater consistency in top ratings.
Airbnb also applies specific quality standards for hosts. Maintaining high ratings affects the reputation of the profile and access to recognition such as Superhost status.
In short: on Airbnb, a difference of just a few tenths in the average rating can represent a significant gap in the quality and consistency of the guest experience.
How to choose the best property manager in Milan
Choosing a property manager from the outside is not easy. Many of the most important aspects of management – internal organisation, quality of staff, pricing strategy, technology and proper compliance – can only really be assessed by knowing how the company works, which is why StayEasy has built its growth on word of mouth.
Among publicly available data, guest reviews on the main OTAs are the most objective, verifiable and comparable measure. That is why we chose Airbnb as the common benchmark for the ranking above.
Reviews do not only measure guest satisfaction: they reflect many concrete aspects of management quality, such as cleanliness, effective and timely communication, the ability to handle unexpected issues, quality of staff, and care and maintenance of the apartment. When these results are sustained over thousands of stays, the rating also becomes an indicator of the quality and consistency of the property manager’s operational processes.
Beyond reviews, it is important to check:
- the tax and contractual soundness of the management model, including the correct calculation of the taxable base for the Italian flat-rate tax on rental income;
- the presence of trained staff who are reachable and operational on the ground;
- the use of genuine revenue management strategies to optimise prices and occupancy;
- the use of technology and automation to reduce errors and delays, including in compliance;
- transparency towards the owner, who should be able to monitor bookings, calendar, prices and the performance of their property in real time.
Booking.com reviews: a further check on quality
Booking.com is a further independent source for checking the quality of management. For some operators the platform shows a “Company review score”, calculated across all the properties associated with the manager. Unlike the Airbnb ranking above, we therefore use this data as an additional check rather than to build a second ranking, as the data may be incomplete and does not retain the history of properties no longer managed.

How much can a short-term rental apartment earn in Milan?
There is no standard return that applies to every short-term rental apartment in Milan. Performance depends mainly on the area, the size and features of the property, the number of guests, the quality of the accommodation, the average nightly rate, the occupancy rate, seasonality and events, as well as on the revenue management strategy adopted.
To assess a property’s potential correctly, it is therefore necessary to estimate at least three indicators: ADR (average daily rate), occupancy rate and potential annual revenue, analysing them on the basis of the specific features of the apartment and Milan market data.
Professional management aims to maximise total revenue, not simply the nightly rate or the occupancy rate, dynamically adjusting prices and booking conditions according to demand.
StayEasy carries out a preliminary assessment of the potential of properties in Milan, estimating the apartment’s likely positioning in the short-term rental market.
Based on data and experience from the properties StayEasy manages in Milan, it is possible to identify some indicative revenue ranges by type of apartment. These are not guaranteed figures: location, quality of the property, number of beds, number of bathrooms and specific features can make a significant difference.
| Property type | Annual gross revenueGross / year | Owner's net monthly income*Net / month* |
|---|---|---|
| Studio | € 25,000 – 45,000 | € 650 – 1,500 |
| 1-bedroom | € 35,000 – 65,000 | € 950 – 2,200 |
| 2-bedroom | € 50,000 – 85,000 | € 1,300 – 2,900 |
| 3-bedroom | € 90,000 – 160,000 | € 2,500 – 4,500 |
| 4+ bedrooms | > € 170,000 | > € 5,000 |
* Simulation for an owner who is a private individual, applying the Italian flat-rate tax on rental income (cedolare secca) and StayEasy’s standard fee. The average monthly net figure is calculated by deducting management costs, platform commissions, cleaning costs and applicable taxes from gross revenue. Estimates are indicative and may vary depending on the features and location of the property.
