Hosthub is a channel manager and property management system for vacation and short-term rentals. It began as Syncbnb, a calendar synchronization tool, and was renamed after the acquisition of Getabed because it now offers more than calendar and price sync. The company describes itself as an all-in-one solution for short-term rental properties.
The product is built by a team of software engineers who also own vacation rentals. They created it after failing to find a reliable way to keep listings synchronized across Airbnb, Booking.com and Vrbo. Hosthub Inc is headquartered in Dover, Delaware, with an office in Athens, Greece.
How does Hosthub work?
Hosthub connects to your listing accounts on booking channels and keeps calendars and rates aligned in both directions. Its FAQ says the system needs your channel credentials for the initial setup and to update every channel automatically after each booking or cancellation. Rates you set in the Hosthub dashboard are sent on to your channels.
The company says it combines machine learning with human quality assurance to keep bookings synchronized in near real time. Direct API integrations cover Airbnb, Vrbo, Booking.com and Expedia, and the Zero Double Booking Guarantee applies to API-connected channels. Customer data is stored on Google Cloud Platform.
