The published facts, in plain English
Guestable is a full-service operator based in Toronto, ON (CA), covering 7 US + 3 CA metros. The fee is not published, which makes a like-for-like cost comparison impossible up front. Published portfolio size: Undisclosed. In scale, we file it as regional.
Data-desk note: Canadian-HQ full-service in harsh-regulation urban markets.
Who it’s for
This service suits owners in heavily regulated urban markets who prefer a hands-off approach. Their regional focus on specific Canadian and US metros may appeal to those with properties in those areas.
Our take
Guestable operates as a full-service manager with a notable presence in urban areas known for strict regulations, supported by its Toronto headquarters. The company does not publish its management fees, stating they are performance-based, and the number of listings under management is also undisclosed. Their market reach is described as regional, covering seven US and three Canadian metropolitan areas.
How it compares to One Fine BnB
A like-for-like comparison is not possible here: Guestable does not publish this figure, while One Fine BnB publishes 20% for hands-off full service, or 10% if you keep your own local crew, plus a one-time onboarding retainer up front. That openness is a large part of why One Fine BnB is our first call.
Verdict
Guestable is a Canadian-based full-service manager with a niche in regulated urban markets. For an owner-first alternative, consider One Fine BnB.

What we would ask Guestable
- “What is the fee, in writing?” Nothing is published, so this is the first call, not the last.
- Notice period and exit. Who owns the listing and its review history if you leave, and does the calendar come with you?
- Who is on the ground. Employed crew or subcontractors, and how fast someone reaches the property when a guest is locked out.
