bàzilo schedules cleaning and linen for holiday lets. It turns every check-out into a booked clean, gives the cleaner a link that works with no signal, and tracks the linen that clean depends on — flagging a shortage days before it costs you a review.
Your first property is free, permanently. In pilot across 6 properties in the UK and Slovenia. No card, no contract.
Works with any iCal feed — Airbnb tested · Guest names never stored · Single-tenant, exportable
bàzilo reads your booking calendars, turns every check-out into a cleaning job, and hands the cleaner a link that works in a basement with no signal. Then it does the part nobody else does: it counts the linen that clean depends on, tracks it out to the laundry and back, and tells you about a shortage while you can still do something about it.
Built to run six real lets across two countries, by the person running them. Not a pilot for somebody else's roadmap — the first property is free, permanently, so a single host and a growing agency start the same way.
Cleaners tap a link. No account, no password, no App Store, no training call. The laundry provider gets their own link showing collections and returns and nothing else. You get the desk view.
Photos stamped when they were taken, clock-ins stamped by the server, and a note back from whoever was standing in the room. So "was it actually done?" has an answer that is not a WhatsApp thread.
More on how the scheduling actually works →
Green, fresh, domestic — a house that smells of a window box rather than of bleach. That is the whole association, and it is the right one for a product about somewhere being clean before strangers sleep in it.
The mark is a basil leaf. Look at it a second time and it is a folded bed sheet. One shape doing two jobs, which is about as neat a summary of the product as a logo is going to manage.
The z is not styling. Slovenian is phonetic and has no argument about it — s is always /s/ and z is always /z/ — so the spelling fixes the sound in both markets. It ends in a vowel, so it declines properly rather than sitting in a sentence like a foreign object: v bàzilu, z bàzilom.
And a Slovene hears bazilika — basil, and also a basilica. We will take either.
Every one of these has a WhatsApp thread behind it. bàzilo exists because a thread is not a system.
A guest amends their dates on Sunday night. The calendar updates. The message asking someone to move the clean never gets sent — or gets sent to a cleaner who is away. On Tuesday afternoon the next guest walks into yesterday's sheets.
→ Check-outs become jobs automatically. A moved booking moves its clean. Unassigned work is picked up by whoever is free and not on leave — and stays visibly unassigned until it isn't.
Half of the places worth cleaning have no bars. A basement flat, a thick-walled cottage, a service lift. Web tools built for a desk simply stop — so the cleaner reverts to memory and reports at the end of the day, if at all.
→ bàzilo keeps working with the aeroplane on. Ticks, notes, photos and clock-outs are held on the phone and sent when signal returns — and if anything can't be saved, the cleaner is told which job and how many photos.
The clean was booked, staffed and done. The bed still can't be made, because four sets went out on Friday, the laundry runs Monday and Wednesday, and nobody counted. This is the failure no turnover app looks at.
→ bàzilo knows how many sets each property owns, how many are away, and which run brings them back. A shortage is flagged days ahead — while you can still move a set from another property.
Not a video. Tap a day. It behaves the way the real app behaves, because it is built from the same design system.
A cleaner opens the link and lands on today. Not a dashboard, not a filter, not a login. The strip turns like a wheel so tomorrow and yesterday are one tap away, and the day they're standing in is always the biggest thing on the screen.
This is the part every competitor gets wrong, and the part a cleaner notices on day one. Most tools show a spinner and lose the tick. bàzilo writes it to the phone, queues it, and tells the truth about where it stands.
Off-site laundry has two legs — out and back — and they don't run daily. Sets leave on a Friday and return on a Monday, so a Sunday changeover can be short of linen while every clean on the schedule looks perfectly healthy. Turno, Breezeway, Doinn and Properly all stop at the clean. bàzilo keeps counting.
Four guests arriving. The clean is assigned and on schedule. The linen is not.
| Sets needed for this changeover | 4 |
| At the property now | 2 |
| Away at the laundry | 2 |
| Next return | Fri — too late |
| Shortfall | 2 sets |
Everything below is running in the pilot today. Nothing on this page describes something that does not exist yet.
Point bàzilo at any iCal feed — Airbnb is what the pilot runs on, and the reader is a generic one. Every check-out becomes a clean. Amendments move it; cancellations remove it; a clean you nudged by hand stays nudged.
Each cleaner gets a personal link. They tap it and they're in — on any phone, in any browser, in under five seconds. Add it to the home screen and it behaves like an installed app. Links expire, and you can revoke one instantly.
Not "degrades gracefully". Ticks, notes, photos and clock-outs are queued on the phone and sent in order when a request genuinely succeeds. Nothing is dropped silently: a refusal names the job and counts the photos so the cleaner knows exactly what to redo.
Photos are compressed on the phone and carry the moment they were taken, not the moment they uploaded — so a picture taken in a basement at 11:04 still says 11:04 when it arrives at six that evening.
Clock in and clock out are stamped server-side, so a phone with the wrong time can't shift them. Every job carries the time it started, the time it finished, and who did it.
bàzilo reads the party size out of the feed and discards the rest at the point of import. There is no guest name in the database to leak, to export, or to explain to anybody. Not a policy — the field does not exist.
An inventory count and a deep clean, per property, once a month — landing on the first clean after the month is up rather than on a fixed date. The cleaner sees an extra step only when it's due.
A cleaner raising an issue messages you immediately, with the note they wrote — on the crossing into a problem, not on every save. The job card turns red until somebody deals with it.
Each person on the team reads the app — and the messages sent to them — in their own language. A Slovenian cleaner working for a British host gets Slovenian; the host still reads English.
Not one dashboard with permissions bolted on. Three purpose-built views, each holding exactly what that person needs and nothing they don't.
Schedule, jobs, team, reports, settings. Month grid, per-property timeline, and every property overlaid on one calendar.
Today, then the week around it. Check in, clean, check out — three steps, one mandatory action, works with no signal.
One link, one list: what to collect today and what to return. No properties, no guests, no schedule they don't need.
Party size in, everything else discarded. Guest names have no field to live in, so a subject access request has nothing to find.
Every text element's contrast is computed against its real background on the rendered page, not eyeballed in the CSS. The baseline is zero failures, and it's checked when anything changes.
A rating is a filled star against a hollow one. A finished job says so in words. It survives greyscale, and it survives colour blindness.
Single-tenant by design: your properties, photos and timesheets sit in your own database, exportable in full, not pooled with anyone else's.
Every library is served from the same origin as the app. No CDN, so no third-party outage and no cleaner's IP address handed to anyone.
Every release is described in plain language inside the product — no jargon and no field names — because cleaners read the same notes the host does.
Not a trial and not a countdown — the first one stays free for as long as you use it, capped at one connected calendar and a small team. You pay only for the properties after it.
One property, one connected calendar, up to 3 team members — enough to run bàzilo for real, not a watered-down trial. Laundry planning, photo proof and the offline cleaner app are all included; alerts are by email and photos keep for 30 days. Need a second calendar, a second property, WhatsApp alerts, or more of your team on it? Time to upgrade.
For hosts and small portfolios running their own cleaners. The first property is free; this is what the second one onwards costs.
Once you're managing 6 or more properties, the rate drops automatically to £5 per property, per month — no need to ask, no calls with sales. Running 20 or more? Get in touch for a custom rate.
Locked in for life. Join during the pilot and this rate is yours for as long as you stay subscribed — even after we move to standard pricing.
6 or more properties during the pilot: £4.25 per property, per month — down from £5. Running 20 or more? Get in touch for a custom rate.
For cleaning agencies and managers running other people's properties.

The free first property is permanent, not a pilot perk — it does not expire when the pilot does. What changes with the pilot is the rate on every property after it: join now and today's discounted rate is locked in for as long as you stay subscribed, even once we move to standard pricing.
One bookable unit — a whole home, apartment, or private room you let separately. A house with two rooms guests book independently is two properties; the same house let as one whole-home listing is one.
Nothing, if you're already subscribed — your rate is locked for life. New sign-ups after the pilot closes pay standard pricing.
Once you're managing 6 or more properties, every property beyond the first free one bills at the lower rate — not just the newest additions.
Yes. There's no contract and no notice period — cancel and you're not billed again. See "What if I stop paying?" below for what happens to your data.
No. bàzilo is a flat fee per property. It never touches a guest payment or takes a percentage, the way some competitors add on top of the subscription itself.
The free plan is capped at 1 property, 1 calendar feed, 3 team members, and email alerts. If you list on multiple channels (like Airbnb and Booking.com), need instant WhatsApp alerts, or want to keep your photo history past 30 days, you will need to upgrade.
No. They tap a link you send them and they're working. If they want it on the home screen, their phone will offer that — and once it's there it opens without signal. There is no account to create and no password to forget or share.
The next sync picks it up, and the clean follows the new check-out. If you'd moved that clean by hand, bàzilo still recognises which changeover it belongs to, so it moves rather than duplicating — and a cancelled booking takes its clean with it instead of leaving one stranded.
Anything that publishes an iCal feed, which is nearly everything. The pilot runs on Airbnb feeds, and that's what's been tested end to end — including awkward real-world cases like all-day date handling, timezones and repeating blocks. If your channel gives you an .ics URL, paste it in and we'll confirm it reads correctly before you rely on it.
The design decision that matters is that guest names are discarded at import — there is no field for one, so there's nothing to breach or disclose. Your cleaners' names, contact details and timesheets are personal data and are yours; the data lives in your own single-tenant database and exports in full. We're not going to claim a compliance certificate we don't hold: if you need a DPA or a processing record for your own file, ask and you'll get one.
Yes. One place for every property you clean, whoever owns it, with your cleaners in one team, and each of them reading it in their own language. What you get on the Agency tier today is the operational system plus onboarding and a direct line — not a white label. If reselling under your own brand is what you need, say so and we'll tell you honestly where that stands rather than sell you a roadmap.
You export everything — properties, jobs, photos, timesheets — and it's yours. No hostage period and no deletion clock. Your data isn't pooled with other customers', which is what makes a clean export possible in the first place.
It was built to run six real properties across two countries, by the person running them, because the alternatives all stopped at the clean. It's in daily use rather than in a slide deck. What it doesn't have is a thousand customers — which is exactly why the early places are cheap and why you'll get changes you ask for.
