Why use vacation rental property management tools for operations?

Standard operating procedures for a short-term rental business involve juggling bookings, payments, guest communication, cleaning schedules, and more. Vacation rental property management tools streamline these tasks by automating workflows, reducing human error, and keeping everything organized in one place. With real-time updates, automated invoicing, and task management, you can run a successful vacation rental business, save time, and provide a better experience for both guests and staff.

Will my team members and property owners have different levels of access?

Yes, you can set different permission levels for different members. Whether it's the owner, a cleaning staff member, the property manager or an accountant, you control who can access specific parts of the platform, ensuring security and efficiency.

Can I customize invoices for my guests?

Yes! Hostaway lets you generate accurate, professional invoices that reflect your brand. You can customize details like guest names, booking dates, fees, and payment breakdowns.

Can I integrate my existing smart locks with Hostaway?

Yes! Hostaway connects with top smart lock brands, allowing you to lock and unlock doors of your short-term rental properties remotely, track access, and provide guests with seamless check-ins — all from your dashboard.

Do I need software for operations? (Why can't I just manage them independently?)

You can manage your property listings independently, but as your business grows, it becomes more challenging to handle everything manually. Airbnb management software automates key tasks like booking synchronization, guest messaging and cleaning schedules. This reduces the risk of missed messages and operational delays. Whether you have a few vacation rental properties or a rental portfolio of 50 properties, using software helps you save time, improve efficiency and guest satisfaction
