One night, unattended

Guests don’t stop writing at 10pm.

Every property manager knows the 2am message. Here is a typical night: the routine answered on the spot, the decisions left for you in the morning.

    Hi! Sorry to pile these on at once, but a few things before we arrive on Friday: is the beach walkable with a toddler, is there a cot we could borrow, can we fit two cars, and does the pool get heated in October?
    Answering each one from this property
    The beach is a nine minute walk according to Google Maps, so a pushchair is no trouble. There is a travel cot in the hall cupboard and a high chair beside it. Two cars fit on the drive. The pool is not heated.

    Just checking we are still fine to leave at 1 on Sunday?
    Reading the decisions on this booking
    Yes, your 1pm checkout on Sunday is all set, and there is no charge for it.
    From your decision: 1pm late checkout, no charge

    Hi, change of plans, we had to head off early, so we are all out now. The keys are on the kitchen counter and the door is locked. Thanks for everything!
    Thank you for letting us know, and safe travels home! We hope you enjoyed your stay.
    Out a day early: held for you to confirm

    We had a rough night – the AC could not keep up and it was still 78 in the bedroom at 3am. Is there anything you can do about the rate for last night?
    Refunds on this listing are yours to decide
    I am sorry, that is not the night you paid for. I am checking with your host about the rate, and they will come back to you this morning.

    Your morning
    Four guests answered overnight. Two things wait for you.

    Every message and every action is already in the conversation, so there is nothing to reconstruct.

    Waiting on you: confirm Cove is empty, and the rate question at Egret.

Four questions, one message

Asked about the rate
Money is your call, so it checked with you instead of offering.

One message, three problems

The guest asked for three things at once. All three got done.

A guest asks for an extra night, says the living room is freezing, and mentions the keypad won’t take their code, all in one paragraph, at midnight.

  • The stay is extended and the card charged only after she agrees.
  • The thermostat goes to 72°F while she is still typing.
  • The door is unlocked, and every action is written down underneath.

Five conversations where answering meant doing something.

Five exchanges, each built on something the product really does. Every one reaches past the inbox: to the calendar, the card, the lock, the thermostat or a noise sensor. Each leaves a receipt behind it.

Could we get a later checkout on Sunday?
 
Checking Sunday’s arrivals, then your upsell rules
Late checkout on Sunday is free to give you – nobody is in after you. 2pm is $39. Shall I put it on the card ending 4242?
Yes please, go ahead.
Done. Your checkout is now 2pm on Sunday and I have taken $39 on the card ending 4242.
Late checkout added · $39.00 charged to Visa 4242

It asked before it charged. The product will not take a card until the guest has explicitly agreed, so a quote and a charge are always two separate turns. Early check-in and the rest of your upsells work the same way.

Reservations

All your listings on one calendar.

The multicalendar is the whole portfolio on one screen: quote, book, move and block without opening a channel or a spreadsheet.

  • Create or modify a booking straight from the grid.
  • Owner blocks, holds and service notes sit alongside real stays.
  • Rates and availability sync out to every connected channel.

Writing reservations back depends on your PMS. Available on Hostvana’s own PMS, Beds24, Guesty and Hostaway. OwnerRez is read-only for reservations.

Each booking sets up its own door code and cleaning.

The code works from check-in to checkout, and the cleaning after checkout is already on the cleaner’s calendar.

Dynamic door codes

Every stay gets its own code.

A unique code for every guest, sent to the lock for you. It turns on shortly before check-in and off shortly after checkout. Works with August, Schlage, Yale, Kwikset, Salto and more.

Cleaning coordination

Every checkout becomes a cleaning.

Cleanings are assigned from your cleaners’ weekly schedule within minutes of the booking. Your cleaning manager sees them all on one shared calendar, and each cleaner gets a calendar with only their own.

A good-sounding reply is the easy part.

Any AI can read a guest message and write something polite. The hard part is saying the right thing for this booking, then doing it: extending the stay, opening the door, moving the cleaner. Most AI tools can’t touch any of that, and it comes up in almost every conversation. Hostvana runs the whole operation, so it can.

What property managers say about it

What property managers said about running their portfolios on Hostvana, in their own words.

★★★★★
“We absolutely love that we can sleep at night knowing that guest enquiries, in particular potential bookings, will be dealt with swiftly.”

We implemented Hostvana after a thorough market review of the more recognised channel management systems. Our key criteria was to use automation to boost profitability rather than hiring more staff, to scale our growing portfolio of 14 properties, built in less than 2 years.

After moving from a different channel manager we found the cost roughly the same, but we get much more value: not only the AI responder but a direct booking site, which they helped set up at no cost, and the ability to take payment upfront from Booking.com and Vrbo. That used to mean waiting 2 to 4 weeks after checkout. It has significantly improved both our profitability and our cashflow.

★★★★★
“It incorporates my conversations into future guest communications, freeing me from the need to respond.”

I am absolutely thrilled with this platform. It has been a key factor in enabling me to be hands-off and set it and forget it. My B&Bs are running seamlessly, allowing me to focus on expanding my business. Well done.
