Partnerships and carbon reduction
Our forward-thinking partners help us to achieve our goal of replacing products with more eco-conscious options, such as eliminating single-use plastics, and transitioning to recycled toilet paper in properties we clean. They’re also helping us to establish our baseline carbon footprint and implement a carbon reduction plan, as well as enabling us to support initiatives such as tree planting and reforestation in local areas.
Green accreditation
We’re working with Sustonica, the first sustainability badge and recognition for short term rentals, helping guests to easily find eco-conscious properties. Making properties more eco-conscious is important for a number of reasons, but one key reason is to meet the growing interest in sustainable tourism.
A report from Booking.com in 2023 showed that 76% of global travellers say that they want to travel more sustainably over the coming 12 months, with 43% willing to pay extra for travel options with a sustainable certification.
With the global demand for sustainable travel options on the rise, Sustonica addresses a critical need in the market and provides Host & Stay guests with the assurance that their choices align with their values. With more guests searching for sustainable properties, this means that Host & Stay homeowners are more likely to see their properties appeal to a wider audience.
Energy efficient tech solutions
resiAIR™ is our innovative, smart technology designed to manage your property’s energy use from afar. It senses when guests are in or out, and controls the lights and/or heating appropriately. This product is exclusive to Host & Stay and ensures savings on costs, emissions and the frustrations of a standard system. This WiFI enabled technology can be retrofitted into any property and is the only product on the market to take real-time measurements from 12 sensors and automatically take action on them.
Whether ceiling or wall-mounted, resiAIR™ links up with the resicentral portal for full visibility and control, ensuring that lights and heating are turned on for guests arriving on chilly and dark winter afternoons, and turned off when no longer needed after check out time. From temperature to humidity, noise to occupancy, resiAIR™ captures it all so property owners can quickly and easily benefit from efficiencies and savings of up to 32% on property energy costs.

Our eco-conscious guides ensure guests can make informed choices on travel in and around our properties. From highlighting public transportation routes and EV charging spots, to promoting eco-friendly activities and supporting local businesses, our online guides provide guests with the resources needed to minimise their environmental impact whilst maximising their experience.
By prioritising community engagement and the environment, we’re redefining UK staycations for the modern, conscious traveller.
