You own the asset. We power the bookings.
Boost your short-term rental income with a team that’s got your back. No lock-in contracts, no drama — and if you ever move on, you keep every booking and every account. Odds are you’ll stick around though… most hosts do once they see the results.
Our services
We’re Hostly — experts in short-term rental hosting.
Built on smart systems. Focused on better returns.
Multi-Platform Listings
Your property deserves to be everywhere guests are looking.
We list across Airbnb, VRBO (via Bookabach) and Booking.com, using fully integrated, real-time technology to drive bookings without calendar chaos. We then layer in a custom direct booking website — cutting out booking fees entirely and building a long-term asset you actually own.
Dynamic Price Optimisation
This isn’t set-and-forget pricing.
Our dynamic pricing engine responds to local events, peak seasons, and live demand signals, while our pricing analysts fine-tune the strategy to squeeze every dollar from each night. The result? Smarter rates, stronger occupancy, and a clear edge over static-priced listings.
Listing Creation
Great listings don’t happen by accident.
We build high-performing listings that stand out on crowded booking platforms, starting with professional photography — the single biggest return-on-investment in short-term rentals. From there, we craft copy designed to win clicks and convert browsers into bookings, while fully utilising platform features many hosts leave blank. That’s where the edge is.
Guest Vetting
Guest screening is essential to protecting your property — the goal is simple: guests should treat your home as if it were their own. While no system can eliminate risk entirely, we put proven safeguards in place to significantly reduce it. That includes premium listing presentation and pricing, smart stay-length rules, digital access control, and rapid post check-out inspections. And if something does go sideways, we’ll guide you through any claims with the booking platforms.
Housekeeping Management
Five-star reviews start with five-star housekeeping.
We partner with experienced local cleaners who know your market and your property. Each team follows detailed processes that go beyond a standard clean — from restocking consumables to spotting maintenance issues early. By putting the right people and systems in place, we remove the guesswork and keep your guest experience consistent, stay after stay.
Smart Locks
Improve security and streamline check-ins with Hostly Connect smart lock technology.
Each guest receives a unique access code 24 hours before arrival, which automatically expires at check-out. No lost keys, no lockouts, and no awkward key handovers. Guests enjoy a seamless arrival, while you gain full visibility over access — knowing exactly who’s entered the property and when.
Linen and Consumables
High-quality linen and thoughtful toiletries are a simple way to elevate the guest experience. Where available, we help hosts arrange professional linen hire — our preferred option for consistency, hygiene, and long-term cost efficiency. If linen hire isn’t suitable, we guide hosts on sourcing hotel-grade linen and setting up professional laundering with their cleaning team. We also advise on practical extras, like a “forgot something” basket, with replenishment built into standard housekeeping procedures.
