Hostaway

The easiest way to spot a PMS that actually runs at scale? Check their OTA partnership status. Airbnb, Vrbo, and Booking.com don't hand out top-tier partnerships to just anyone. They reserve them for software with rock-solid sync and a proven track record. Hostaway is: 🏝️ Airbnb Preferred + Software Partner 🏝️ Vrbo Elite Connectivity Partner (6 years running since 2021) 🏝️ Booking.com Premier Plus Connectivity Partner That means your listings stay accurate, your calendars sync fast, and when something needs attention, you get a direct line to the OTAs. Save this for your next vacation rental software evaluation 📌 and follow for more short-term rental insights.

It's one thing to manage a portfolio of holiday cottages. It's another to double its size in a place as beloved as the Lake District in Northwest England. 🏡 That's exactly what George Hardy and the team at Brathay Cottages did. Their secret? Moving away from clunky, manual tasks and embracing a smoother way to run their entire operation. By centralizing guest messages into a unified inbox, generating accurate owner statements with ease, and using automated tasks to stay on top of daily workflows, they freed up invaluable time. This gave them the freedom to focus on growing their business and providing incredible stays for their guests. It's that dedication to hospitality that led to their Diamond Lodge being ranked the 5th best B&B in the UK on Tripadvisor for 2025. We're so inspired by their journey and proud to be a part of their success story. Check out the full story in the comments to see how they achieved such impressive growth!

Not all AI is built the same, especially when it comes to how deeply it understands your data.

One question. One answer. No dashboard hopping. AI CoHost pulls from your live Hostaway data across every corner of your operations. Revenue, expenses, reviews, reservations, messaging, listings, owner payouts. It is all connected, and it is all one question away. A few things it can actually do: 📈 Show which channel drove the most growth over the last 6 months 💸 Break down last month's expenses by property ⭐ Surface recurring issues across reviews, listing by listing 🗓️ Pull up who's checking in over the next 2 weeks with special requests included 💬 Message every upcoming guest at a specific location in one go 📝 Flag which listings need better descriptions and why 💰 Deliver owner payouts per property in seconds Unlike generic AI, CoHost understands the nuance of short-term rentals: owner vs. gross revenue, ADR, orphan nights, channel mix. It speaks the language of your P&L. See it in action: https://lnkd.in/gWmGE7di

Hospitality Technology on what our AI CoHost launch signals for the industry: "This Hostaway announcement validates a macro architectural shift: the hospitality industry has officially reached basic AI fatigue, and the race is now on to build specialized domain-specific intelligence." Generic LLMs don't know what an orphan night is, they can't calculate dynamic cross-channel yield, and they have no concept of the delicate operational dance between property owners, cleaning crews, and transient guests. AI CoHost does. One system with all the context your business actually runs on. 🧠 Read the full article here: https://lnkd.in/gMjRTsAy
