Airbnb channel manager for vacation rentals
Manage your Airbnb listings, reservations, pricing, availability, and guest communication from one simple place.
Spend less time inside Airbnb
Hospitable pulls the parts of Airbnb you touch daily into one place and automates the repetitive work around them.
Reservations
Every upcoming Airbnb stay in one unified calendar, with guest details, dates and payouts together instead of spread across separate tabs.
Pricing and availability
Set nightly rates, stay rules and fees in Hospitable, or let dynamic pricing adjust them for you, and push everything straight to Airbnb.
Guest messages
Reply to Airbnb guests from one inbox, where AI drafts answers in your own tone and scheduled messages fire at every stage of the stay automatically.
Reviews
Leave guest reviews automatically and get AI-drafted replies to Airbnb reviews, so feedback never sits waiting for a free afternoon.
Your Airbnb calendar, always accurate
Bookings from Booking.com, Vrbo, Agoda or your own site block those dates on Airbnb automatically, so your Airbnb calendar is never out of sync.
Hospitable is an excellent property management software! It has everything I need, and their town halls are always very informative. I highly recommend it. It makes running an Airbnb so much easier.
How it works
Connecting Airbnb to Hospitable takes about ten minutes: authorise through Airbnb's own sign-in screen, import your listings, match them to properties, turn on sync.
Connect your Airbnb account
Approve Hospitable through Airbnb's official API. Your Airbnb password is never shared.
Import your listings
Listings, rates and upcoming reservations come across automatically. Nothing on Airbnb changes yet.
Match listings to properties
Confirm which listings are the same space. Merged listings share one calendar.
Turn on sync
Hospitable becomes the source of truth. Change something once, it applies everywhere.
Go beyond just Airbnb
Reach more guests by listing across multiple channels, without turning every new platform into more work to manage.
Advantages of connecting Airbnb through the API instead of iCal
Hospitable connects directly to Airbnb's official PMS integration, so you can manage much more than blocked and available dates.

Common questions
What is an Airbnb channel manager?
An Airbnb channel manager is software that connects an Airbnb account to the other sites a property is listed on, keeping reservations, availability and pricing identical across all of them.
More complete tools like Hospitable also bring guest messaging, automation, listing management and reviews into the same workflow, so the whole operation runs from one place rather than from Airbnb's dashboard.
Do I need a channel manager for Airbnb?
Not always. If you run one property on Airbnb alone and you're happy handling it there, you probably don't need one yet.
A channel manager earns its place once you manage several listings, repeat the same messages every week, coordinate a cleaning team, or list the same property on more than one booking site.
Is Hospitable an official Airbnb channel manager?
Yes. Hospitable is an Airbnb Preferred+ Software Partner and connects through Airbnb's official property management software integration.
That certified connection carries far more than calendar availability: guest messages, listing settings, nightly rates, reviews, fees and length-of-stay rules all move through it, in both directions.
Is there a free Airbnb channel manager?
Yes. Hospitable's Essentials plan costs nothing and includes real channel management. You get calendar sync, unlimited properties, a unified inbox, and automated messaging. Paid plans unlock more advanced automation, pricing, operational tools, and support. Every paid plan starts with a 14-day free trial, with no credit card required.
How do I prevent double bookings across Airbnb and other channels?
Keep one system as the source of truth for availability. Hospitable syncs reservations between connected listings, so a booking on one channel blocks those dates on the others without you blocking anything by hand.
No channel manager can make a double booking impossible, but automated syncing cuts the risk substantially compared with managing calendars manually.
Can I handle Airbnb guest messages from Hospitable?
Yes. Airbnb conversations arrive in the Hospitable inbox, where AI can draft replies in your own tone before you send them.
Scheduled messages fire automatically at each stage of a stay, from booking confirmation and pre-arrival to check-in instructions and check-out. The repetitive parts of guest communication run without you.
What's the difference between iCal sync and an Airbnb channel manager?
An iCal connection moves calendar availability and nothing else, in one direction, on a refresh schedule.
Hospitable connects through Airbnb's official PMS integration, which carries reservations, messages, nightly rates, listing content, reviews, fees and stay rules, and updates in both directions within seconds.
Can I connect Airbnb, Booking.com and Vrbo through Hospitable?
Yes. Hospitable connects to Airbnb, Booking.com, Vrbo and Agoda, and listings for the same property are merged into a single Hospitable property so their calendars stay in sync.
Does using a channel manager change my Airbnb fees?
No. Airbnb has moved hosts to its host-only fee structure regardless of whether they use a property management system, so connecting Hospitable doesn’t change what you pay.
Under this structure, the host pays a single 15.5% service fee and the guest pays none. That’s lower overall than the old split-fee model, which combined to between 17.1% and 20.5%.
