Hi all,We’re working on some improvements to the Guest Portal, If you’ve got a few minutes, I’d love to hear:How does the Guest Portal fit into your process? (e.g., when do you send it, what's the main use it has for you?) Are guests actually using it? Have you seen it help or cause confusion? If you use rental agreements, security deposits, ID verification, or upsells - have guests been accessing the guest portal and completing the tasks promptly? Any frustrations or pain points? What would you love to see added or improved?Feel free to grab a time that works for you on my calendar: https://scheduler.zoom.us/tim-hasfgr/guest-portal
We’ve recently given Hospitable Dynamic Pricing users the ability to customize their last minute pricing and added additional controls to customize far future pricing. Check out the video below for a walk-through of the new controls.We’ve always had a last minute pricing strategy for hosts, but previously we weren’t able to show you what we were doing and we didn’t let you personalize your strategy. Now you can edit both the dates and markdown amounts. For most hosts, this is a series of discounts starting as far out as 60 days and stair stepping into higher discounts as the lead time of potential bookings goes to zero. The goal of this strategy is generally to fill any remaining gaps in your calendar to reach your ideal occupancy.We previously released the ability to set custom markup/markdown amounts for far future pricing, and based on your feedback we’ve now given you the ability to control the dates as well. For most hosts, this is a series of markups starting from a minimum of 60

On the previous Town Hall we discussed that Markups will now be applied to all fees instead of applying it only to Base Price. The reason for this change is because platforms (Booking, Airbnb, Direct Premium, VRBO) charge commission from all the fees, not only the base price. As some of you know, I'm currently working on a way for Hosts to be able to manage all their fees from Hospitable and have them synced to all platforms but I wanted to get some feedback from you first: Do you currently have a setup in which your cleaning fees are drastically different between platforms? Spoilers:

The Hospitable team is looking at improving task management. You’ve already given us lots of great feedback, thank you! One thing we’re trying to understand are common tasks, especially for your cleaners, that you want added to your cleaning checklist on an irregular basis. For example: replacing the fire alarm batteries, cleaning windows, dusting, emptying the lint filter on the dryer… What are other tasks that you schedule but that don’t happen on every cleaning?
Hey everyone! 👋We’re working on a new addition to Upsells: Upsell Requests! We’d love to hear how you’d use this feature—and what challenges you face when certain upsells need manual approval.Right now, any upsell purchased through the Guest Portal, like Early Check-In/Late Checkout or Pool Heating, is charged in full immediately.But what if you need more control to confirm availability before charging the guest? That’s where Upsell Requests come in! 🎉Guests will still be able to browse and check out upsells as usual, but certain products can be configured as “requiring approval”. Those will remain pending approval before payment is (fully) captured. As the host, you’ll be able to approve or deny the request, and we’ll handle the rest—seamlessly—for both sides.This is perfect for offerings like boat rentals, private chefs, or anything that depends on availability.We’re already laying out the roadmap, but we want your input to shape the experience:What kinds of upsells would you want
Your owners can now book their own stays directly in the Owner Portal—no more manual requests for you to manage. ✅ Enabled by default for all newly configured portals ⚙️ For existing portals, you’ll need to enable this option to allow owner to add stays 🔒 Manage permissions easily under the Owner Portal tab in your Business settings, or for individual owners under the Owner tab Want to see how it works?

Great news! In addition to a list of awesome new features and improvements, we’ve added the ability to easily switch to annual billing on the Host, Professional and Mogul plans.So here’s the deal, if you know you are going to be on Hospitable a year from now, why not switch to annual and save 12% off your Hospitable expense?Here’s how it works: you pay up front for the number of listings you expect to have for 12 months, and that upfront payment gets you 12% off.If you add more listings, we’ll bill you for any overages at the regular rate.Drop some properties? We’ll automatically add account credits at the regular rate, so you save on your next invoice.Head to Settings and Your Plan page in Hospitable to see how much you could save.Save 12% with annual >Note for Legacy plan customers: an annual deal on Legacy is way too complicated due to the structure of the pricing e.g. the 1st property costs a different amount to the 10th, 30th etc.
If you've seen small titles or badges next to someone’s name in the Community, they’re not random. They're part of a lightweight system we use to highlight contributions and give a bit of shape to how people grow within the space.Here’s how it works. Rank: a long-term signal of participationYour ranking is tied to your overall activity and consistency in the Community. It shows up next to your name whenever you post or comment, and is meant to reflect how active and involved you are over time.As you participate more; replying to others, starting discussions, reacting to other hosts’ posts, you’ll see your rank change.Here’s the path:New Member → New Participant → Participating Frequently → Known Participant → Inspiring → Top Contributor → Hospitable HeroNote: We are not publishing the exact criteria on purpose, as the goal is to encourage authentic engagement, not gamed behavior. Badges: recognizing specific contributionsBadges are different from rank. They’re not about how long you’ve
