Our latest product update
Updated dynamic pricing and rule‑sets
Rule sets are now live, allowing the stacking of markups and discounts, custom floors and ceilings, and automated last-minute and early-bird discounts. Combined with dynamic minimum-night stays and orphan-night, these offers will fill your calendars. Simply choose between balanced, aggressive, or conservative strategies and we’ll do the rest!
Additional smart devices
Our smart‑home control keeps expanding, and our Kwikset smart‑lock integration is now available to all users. Set unique access codes, revoke them automatically, and track usage within Hospitable. Got Sensi thermostats? Join our open pilot to put climate control on autopilot. Fewer apps, fewer headaches, happier guests.
More intuitive owner portals
The owner portal now features a live calendar that takes into account the privacy settings you’ve configured to share with owners. Performance metrics will differentiate guest and owner nights for easy tracking. Explore it in this interactive demo of the portal. We’ve also added Airbnb co-host payout statements for more accurate payouts.
Direct booking discounts
Direct site discounts, like early bird, length-of-stay, and last-minute, now match Airbnb's, automatically ensuring competitive pricing. Soon, Direct will support features including guest-approved alterations, editable website translations, and more language options for localized conversion.
