Vacation Rental Software for Property Managers

Hostaway is a vacation rental software platform built for short-term rental businesses that manage multiple properties. It combines a property management system, channel manager, booking engine, and guest communication tools into a single dashboard, reducing the need to juggle separate tools.

Channel Management Across 200+ OTAs

The platform connects to over 200 distribution channels, including Airbnb, Vrbo, Booking.com, and Expedia. A two-way channel manager keeps availability and rates synchronized in real time, minimizing double bookings and manual updates across listings.

Direct Booking Engine

Hostaway includes a website builder and direct booking engine, allowing property managers to drive commission-free reservations. Managers can customize the booking widget and apply their own branding to the guest-facing experience.

Automated Guest Messaging and Task Management

A unified inbox consolidates guest communications from all connected channels. Automated messaging sequences handle check-in instructions, pre-arrival reminders, and post-stay reviews. Task management tools assign housekeeping and maintenance jobs automatically based on booking events.

Revenue Management and Dynamic Pricing

Hostaway integrates with leading revenue management tools including PriceLabs and Wheelhouse. Managers can set pricing rules, minimum stay requirements, and seasonal rates from within the platform or delegate pricing decisions to a connected dynamic pricing engine.

Analytics and Reporting

The analytics dashboard provides occupancy reports, revenue breakdowns by channel, owner statements, and performance comparisons across properties. Data exports and owner portal access allow transparent reporting for property owners.

Integrations and Open API

Hostaway offers a marketplace of 100+ third-party integrations covering smart locks, accounting software, noise monitoring, and more. An open API allows custom integrations for larger operators. The platform holds Airbnb Preferred Software Partner status and serves over 50,000 properties worldwide.
