Host Tools1.241.0 - App Store

Save countless hours automating your short-term rental across platforms. Automate messaging, reviews, availability syncing, cleaner management, smart locks, and more.

Host Tools helps give your guests a 5-star experience which helps you receive more 5-star reviews.

With Host Tool's intuitive and easy-to-use interface, you won't spend weeks trying to learn a new tool. Simply connect your account, set up a few automation rules using built-in templates, and sit back while Host Tools takes over much of the day-to-day management of your short-term rentals.

Host Tools will:

- Manage all of your listings and reservations across all channels from one single calendar.

- Sync your calendars between Airbnb, Booking.com, VRBO, etc. in real-time so you never get a double booking.

- Send automated customized messages via the channel's messaging system. Your guests will never know your messages are automated.

- Automate cleaner communication by sending an e-mail or text to remind your cleaner of cleaning or anytime you get a new booking, if a reservation is canceled, or changed.

- Create a unique URL your cleaners or maintenance people can view at any time to see all cleanings on one calendar.

- Manage all conversations from a single inbox, receive notifications via the app or in your browser so you can stay on top of communication.

- Accept Booking inquiries and requests automatically.

- Automate guest reviews and remind guests to leave a review if they haven't right before the review period ends.

- Automatically adjust your price, minimum night requirements, and availability based on rules you set up.

- Allow you to set pricing rules to automatically raise or lower your prices set on the criteria that you decide.

- Save you time by automating most of what you do as a short-term rental host, while also being the easiest to use PMS available.

- Integrate seamlessly with all of the leading vacation rental tools such as August Locks, Pricelabs, TurnoverBnb, etc.
