Automate Management

Auto Reply

When a guest message is received from a booking platform, Hostvana uses the information in the “Templates” tab to reply to questions in a natural, human-like way.

Our Conversation view allows you to conveniently reply to all messages across all platforms in one place.

Our AI works as a team-member, backing-off when you are involved in a manual conversation, and  only replying when no-one else has replied. It will attempt to reply to all messages and notify a human if it is unsure of the answer. Before sending a reply, the AI will provide the option to reject the message for a brief period.

Problem Forwarding

Hostvana detects issues and forwards them to the specific person responsible to fix that issue.

Auto Early CI & Late CO

By default, if a guest asks for an early check-in:

If before CI Day:
Ask guest to message on morning of CI

If on CI Day:
Check calendar and allow early check-in only if no check-out occurs on same day.

All Defaults can be overwritten to your policy.

Places of Interest

Hostvana will give recommendations based on places you provide or, if none are provided, come up with its own rcommendations for places in the area. We even can calculate the approximate distance to arbitrary locations.

Smart Amenity Reply

Reply to any guest inquiry asking about your listings amenities or policies.

Guaranteed 1st Reply

Even if no message would normally be warranted. Hostvana will always reply to the first inquiry message to make sure your Response Time metrics (measured on the first reply) are as short as possible, contributing to increasing your host ratings.

Scheduled Messages

Proactively inform guests by sending welcome wessage, check-in/check-out instructions, and other time or status-based messages.

Any scheduled or text based reply can also include attachments.

You can also use the Channel Manager to send follow-up marketing messages.

Bad Guest Filtering

Filter bad guests based on proximity, rating, or message

Through years of management experience we have learned to spot red flags indicative of a bad guest.

If enough red flags are detected, we notify the guest that the property is not a good fit.

We filter based on what they say in the message as well as:
– Distance from listing
– Area code in phone #
– Time guest messages
– Length of stay
– Number of guests

You are able to tweak the severity of all of these red flags to customize your filters per property.

FREE Channel Manager

Free Beds24-powered channel manager comes included in your Hostvana subscription allowing you to centralize availability, pricing, and updating of all listing details in one place!

Our channel-manager also generates a private booking site allowing you to build your list of off-platform guests.

You can also connect to webhooks as well as third-party integrations like:
– Pricelabs
– Beyond
– Paypal
– Remotelock, and more!

Check out more details of the FREE chanel manager here.

Cleaning Coordination

Hostvana assigns cleanings to your staff based on your cleaning schedule. A global cleaning calendar is shared with your cleaning manager as well as a specific calendar shared with each cleaner containing only their own cleanings.

The cleaning manager can override the schedule by making changes to the global calendar which will propagate to the individual cleaner’s calendar.

On the current day, cleanings with a same-day check-in have an hourglass (⌛) icon to communcate urgency, while cleanings with no check-in have a palm-tree (🌴) icon to indicate to the cleaner that they can take their time.

Unique Codes

We provide personalized codes for each guest across all major booking platforms, ensuring your peace of mind!

Legacy integration:
Z-wave locks with 3rd party (rBoy Lock API integration)

Keypads:
Non-connected Keypads can be integrated via a set of monthly codes that the program generated for every property. Hardcode them once a year and you’re in business!

Stripe Payout Schedule

Process credit cards directly with one of the third-party integrations available with Beds24 including Stripe, Paypal, and more.

This feature that allows you to customize the payout schedule to your bank account (as opposed to the default manual or instant Stripe options) allowing you to sync your bank payouts with your cancellation policy.

For example, if your Cancellation Policy dictates that 50% is non-refundable 60 days before check-in and the remainder is non-refundable 30 days before check-in, you can create such a schedule to transfer the funds to your bank account only after they are not refundable to the guest. This allows you to always have the funds for a refund directly in your Stripe account.

Contact & Cleanings Ledgers

Store all your valuable guest data in a centralized spreadsheet for future marketing efforts. Also, conveniently download all cleaning events to simplify your cleaner payments.

Dynamic Pricing

Pricelabs integrates with our Beds24-powered Channel manager allowing you to maximize income by matching your price to patterns of supply and demand in your area,  customizing your price based on occupancy history, as well as creating a plethora of other pricing rules and optimizations.
