Excellent hospitality services
We meet the guests in person and actively;and substantially support their experience of Athens with great suggestions based on their personal preferences. We support all guest needs and act almost immediately in case of a damage or malfunction in the property 24 hours a day.
Cloudkeys treats all properties in its portfolio with the same level of professionalism. All buildings under management are treated like they are our own.
Accounting – Tax Remittance – Short-term Rental Tax Register
Cloudkeys provides all necessary tax declarations and remittance, such as the short-term rental registry of the Tax Authorities in Greece without extra charges and without any obligation from the building owner. The building owner is only required to declare his/her building property revenues once a year.
We provide daily invoicing and receipts for all reservations of the day and we send them to the tax authorities in real-time. Guests have the option of a normal receipt or a business invoice for their stay.
Our team also declares all reservations for each apartment separately in the government’s short-term rental registry.
Transaction, Building and Guest Security
Cloudkeys has developed its own unique security mechanism for validating all credit card payments, the thorough identification of guests and in general the building and all properties under management.
Providing a safe stay for all guests is also of high importance. Cloudkeys verifies the personal information of all guests and does not allow reservations without a verified credit card, ID and/or passport. Our aim is to provide a safe and quality stay for all guests.
Any costs related to installing, maintaining or repairing security systems and all building maintenance costs are payable by the owner.
Cloudkeys owners can choose a technician to undertake any repair or maintenance work, unless there is an emergency for the guests and this person is not available, in which case a qualified professional is dispatched by the company.
Damages in the property
After hosting thousands of guests in the properties under management our experience shows that major damages are exceptionally rare. Typical damages include a broken glass of wine or a guest forgetting the keys at the lock from the inside.
In every case, insurance coverage is highly recommended with specialized insurance products that cover short term rental damages to the building or to any apartment inside the building. Cloudkeys knows the best insurance solutions in Greece and suggests specific companies and products.

Cloudkeys only provide the replacement of bed linen and towels. There is no cost for the owners to purchase bed linen and towels. All these are provided by Cloudkeys.
Owners signing up to Cloudkeys building management services must provide fully furnished, renovated, and equipped apartments. Are there any requirements that are mandatory for Cloudkeys to manage a building? Cloudkeys representatives will inform you for all necessary issues in our relevant communication.
It is of high importance that the property infrastructure such as the plumbing and electrical installations are upgraded based on short-term rental leasings. Cloudkeys always reserves the right to terminate any contract providing building management services in case the property infrastructure can not compete with the intended use for short term rentals.
In the very rare event of damages in an apartment, Cloudkeys will make every effort to demand payment from the guests. These incidents are extremely rare and usually happen to private hosts or poor management companies that do not personally meet the guests.
Initially, Cloudkeys makes the effort to force payment from the guests. In case of a denial by the guest, Cloudkeys files a damage payment request from the short-term rental platform that the guest used to make his/her reservation. If there is another denial, the platform either demands compensation on our behalf or involves the insurance company that it has contracted for such cases.
As we always explain in our meetings with owners that have assigned the management of their property to our company, if you have been involved in a car accident you can understand what insurance companies cover.
Short-term rental platforms such as Airbnb and Booking.com provide their own insurance coverage, however Cloudkeys highly recommends signing a contract with a Greek insurance company.
