Hi, I’m Willy Ariap, a results-driven Airbnb Virtual Assistant and Operations Leader. I started as an Airbnb Support Ambassador, mastering Community Education and advanced Resolutions, giving me deep insight into the platform, guest expectations, and problem-solving at every level.
I then grew from Guest Communications VA to Team Manager and eventually Director at a co-hosting company, managing teams, multiple listings, and daily operations. I specialize in end-to-end Airbnb management, from creating and optimizing listings, handling inquiries, securing bookings, coordinating cleaners and maintenance, to ensuring every guest has an exceptional stay.
I also set up smart automations for check-ins, real-time updates, and internal knowledge hubs, streamlining workflows and scaling operations efficiently. I’ve trained VAs, handled claims and review disputes, and ensured operations run smoothly across all listings.
My mission is to take operational stress off your plate, maximize guest satisfaction, and help your Airbnb business grow effortlessly.

I have extensive experience in the BPO industry in the Philippines, supporting multiple lines of business and delivering high-quality customer service for U.S.-based clients. One of my key roles was with Amazon, where I handled a wide range of customer concerns involving packages, subscriptions, and order-related issues. My responsibilities included tracking deliveries, coordinating with couriers, processing replacements and refunds, managing orders, providing Amazon subscription support, liaising with sellers, and monitoring shipment status to ensure timely resolutions. After my tenure with Amazon, I supported a transportation and taxi service company operating across major U.S. cities, including California, San Francisco, Charlotte, Texas, Chicago, Evanston, Florida, Washington, and Orange County. In this role, I managed ride booking requests, coordinated driver dispatch, resolved fare and billing concerns, handled lost and found reports, and provided general customer support across different time zones. Through these experiences, I’ve developed strong communication skills, sharp problem-solving abilities, and a solid understanding of fast-paced, remote customer support operations.

I worked with a co-hosting company specializing in short-term and mid-term rental properties, where I gained hands-on experience in both guest-facing operations and team leadership. My initial role focused on guest communication through calls and messaging, ensuring timely responses and smooth guest experiences. I was also responsible for creating and optimizing listings across multiple platforms, including Airbnb, Roommates, Peerspace, VRBO, Booking.com, and other relevant channels. In addition, I coordinated with maintenance teams for handyman requests and worked closely with cleaning staff to adjust schedules and ensure turnovers were completed efficiently. After just one month, I was promoted to Team Lead, where I managed a team of four virtual assistants (VAs). In this role, I ensured adherence to company policies and standard operating procedures, monitored attendance and task completion, and tracked overall team performance to ensure deadlines were consistently met. Shortly after, I was promoted again to Manager, overseeing a team of five VAs. My responsibilities expanded to include training and coaching team members, providing regular performance feedback, and maintaining team motivation and accountability. I also managed project execution, optimized and updated listings, and continuously reviewed and improved SOPs to enhance operational efficiency. Additionally, I served as the primary point of contact for Airbnb-related concerns and provided real-time support to VAs during shifts. I also handled claims management and review dispute cases, conducted training for newly hired VAs, and delivered regular performance and operations reports to the client to ensure transparency and alignment with business goals.

I worked with Airbnb for over a year under the Community Education team, where I handled general guest inquiries and provided support to ensure smooth and positive guest experiences. After three months, I was upskilled to Resolutions 1 due to strong performance, where I assisted with more complex cases such as cancellations, alterations, review disputes, claims, calendar issues, rebooking requests, taxes, payouts, and other account-related concerns. Within a month, I further advanced to Resolutions 2, where I handled even more complex and sensitive cases, including amenity-related concerns, advanced rebooking options, investigations, and other escalated guest issues requiring deeper policy interpretation and decision-making. Through this experience, I developed a strong and comprehensive understanding of Airbnb processes, policies, and resolution workflows, along with the ability to handle high-pressure situations with accuracy and professionalism.
