About Hostaway

Hostaway is a Property management system (PMS) and channel manager that allows property owners and managers to distribute their listings across multiple booking platforms from one central system. It connects your properties to OTAs, enabling you to manage:

• Availability
• Pricing
• Property content (pictures, descriptions, amenities, etc)

How this integration works

1. Instant Booking - By connecting your properties through Hostaway, your availability calendar is automatically synced with our platform; meaning:
   • Your property availability is always up to date
   • Guests can instantly book directly on our platform
   • No risk of double bookings due to real-time calendar updates
2. Dynamic Pricing - When connected via Hostaway, our platform performs a daily sync (every midnight) to pull the seasonal pricing.
3. Seamless integration - There's no need for manual uploads or repeated checks. With just a few clicks through Hostaway:
   • Your properties are automatically listed on our platform
   • Listings are updated without manual intervention
   • You can manage everything from one place
4. Daily sync - Our platform syncs with Hostaway every midnight to ensure all data stays updated including:
   • Pictures
   • Property details and descriptions
   • Amenities and additional information
   • Pricing

   Any changes you make in Hostaway are automatically reflected on our platform, so you don't need to update anything twice.
