One night, unattended
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.
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.
One message, three problems
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.

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

Writing reservations back depends on your PMS. Available on Hostvana’s own PMS, Beds24, Guesty and Hostaway. OwnerRez is read-only for reservations.
The code works from check-in to checkout, and the cleaning after checkout is already on the cleaner’s calendar.
Dynamic door codes
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
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.
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.
Everything before, during and after the stay
The work between one guest and the next
What the owner actually sees
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.
