The Problem
Every New Booking Starts a Chain of Texts and Spreadsheets
It happens on busy weekends. Same-day bookings land in Hostaway, but cleaners, lock codes, and owner reports still wait for someone to copy the details across.
01 · Turnovers
Cleaners hear about bookings through group texts.
Each new reservation creates a turnover task in your cleaning app.
02 · Late changes
Checkout time changes never reach the cleaner.
Updated reservations push the new times to every connected tool.
03 · Lock codes
Door codes are set by hand for every guest.
Lock codes are issued from the reservation dates through your lock app.
04 · Owner reports
Owner statements are rebuilt from exports each month.
Reservations and payouts feed owner reporting on a schedule.
A guest books a two-night stay at 9 p.m. through Vrbo. The Hostaway channel manager blocks the dates everywhere, which works. Then your ops lead copies the dates into a cleaning group chat, sets a lock code by hand, and adds the stay to the owner's spreadsheet. A late change to the checkout time never reaches the cleaner. By Sunday, one unit isn't ready, the guest waits in the car, and a one-star review follows.
We start with the reservation event. Hostaway's unified webhook fires when a booking is created or updated. We route it to the tools that act on it: cleaning tasks, lock codes, guest messages, and owner reports. Because webhook payloads can miss late fields, our listener calls the Hostaway API for the full reservation before anything moves. Your turnovers follow the booking, not someone's memory.
Bookings trigger the work
Created and updated reservations start cleaning, lock, and messaging steps on their own.
Full record before acting
Each event is checked against the API, so late changes reach cleaners and lock codes.
Owner reports kept current
Reservations and payouts flow into owner reporting without a spreadsheet rebuild each month.
Our Hostaway Integration Services Process
From Booking Alert to Ready Unit in Five Clear Steps
You approve which events trigger which tools before anything connects. Then you watch real bookings create tasks, codes, and reports before we hand over.
We follow one booking from the channel to a clean, ready unit and note every manual step. You get a short map of the Marketplace apps you have, the gaps, and what the Hostaway API documentation allows.
What's Included
What You Get With Hostaway Webhooks and Marketplace Apps
Apps connected and checked, reservation events wired to the tools that act on them, a direct booking site listed on Google, and custom API flows where apps stop.
Compare Options
DeveloperLook vs Marketplace app only vs Freelancer
A single Marketplace app suits one job, like dynamic pricing, and a freelancer can be cheaper for one script. Here is where each falls short across your operations.
| Feature | DeveloperLookBest fit | Marketplace app only | Freelancer |
|---|---|---|---|
| Planning | Event and tool map first | Set up app by app | Starts from the code |
| Turnover tasks | Created and updated from bookings | Covered if the app does it | Varies by experience |
| Late booking changes | Full reservation fetched before acting | Depends on the app | Often missed |
| Owner reporting | Fed on a schedule | Not covered | Custom spreadsheet scripts |
| Direct bookings | Booking Website listed on Google | Not covered | Sometimes, often untested |
| Speed to start | 1 to 2 weeks for app setup | Same day for one app | Often fast to start |
| Cost | Fixed price from $750 | App subscription only | Often cheaper per hour |
| Ownership | API keys and code stay yours | App account stays yours | Sometimes kept by the freelancer |

What Our Clients Say
What Clients Say After Launch
Feedback from teams we have built websites and business software for.
We had a pretty specific idea of what we wanted our website to become, but I wasn’t sure how easily we could explain all of it to a development team. There were quite a few moving parts, and we were working toward a deadline, so I expected a few things to get lost along the way. That never really happened. They understood what we were trying to achieve, kept us updated throughout the process, and got everything ready within the agreed timeline. The final site feels much easier to navigate, works beautifully on mobile, and is noticeably smoother for our customers. It was a huge relief seeing the original idea actually turn into the website we had in mind.
The mobile experience is probably my favourite part of the new site. We had spent a lot of time making sure the desktop version looked right, and the team kept pushing us to think about how everything would actually feel on a phone too. They were right. The navigation is clean, the interactions feel natural, and everything we’ve tested so far works exactly as it should. They also went through the links, forms, integrations, and other details more than once before launch, which I really appreciated. And even after going live, we could still reach out when something came up. The whole process felt friendly, organised, and surprisingly straightforward.
What I appreciate most is that the website is actually easy for us to manage now. We can update content ourselves instead of sending a developer a message every time we need to change something small. They also paid attention to the technical SEO side, which mattered to us because we didn’t want a new website to create problems for the traffic we already had. I’ve probably asked more questions than I should have since launch, but every question has been handled patiently and without any fuss. The team is easy to work with, they explain things clearly, and when we need something changed, they focus on getting it done rather than making the process complicated.

Work Culture
Why Rental Managers Trust Us With Their Hostaway Setup
Your guests notice every missed turnover and wrong door code. These habits keep our Hostaway work steady through your busiest weekends and holidays.
Launches outside peak weeks
We switch flows on midweek and outside holiday peaks. If something needs a fix, it happens before a full house of arrivals depends on it.
Every event double-checked
Webhook payloads can arrive without late fields, so our code reads the full reservation first. Cleaners and lock codes get the latest times.
Apps checked before code
If a Marketplace app already covers your need, we'll tell you before we quote. You pay for custom API work only where apps stop short.
Paced within rate limits
Hostaway caps most endpoints at 200 requests per 10 seconds per account. Our jobs queue and pace calls, so large portfolios sync without errors.
Channel rules respected
Airbnb, Vrbo, and Booking.com each set rules for payments, deposits, and messages. Our flows follow them, so nothing puts your listing standing at risk.
Fixed price after review
You get a fixed quote once the event map is agreed. Changes are priced before work starts, so peak season doesn't bring surprise bills.

Good fit
Managers with growing portfolios
Your team runs listings across Airbnb, Vrbo, and Booking.com, and every new reservation still means texting a cleaner and copying dates by hand.
Operators launching direct bookings
You want guests booking on your own domain through the Hostaway direct booking website, and the same listings showing on Google Vacation Rentals.
Teams on locks and cleaning apps
You use RemoteLock, Breezeway, or Turno, and each one needs the reservation details before the guest arrives, not after check-in goes wrong.
Managers paying many owners
Your owners expect monthly statements that match their payouts, and your bookkeeper still rebuilds them from Hostaway exports in a spreadsheet.
Agencies serving rental brands
Your agency builds sites for vacation rental brands, and each client wants Hostaway reservations feeding its own tools and reports.
Not a fit
Running Guesty instead
Your listings run on Guesty, not Hostaway. Our Guesty integration page covers its direct booking site, channels, and connected tools instead.
Hosting on Lodgify
You host a handful of rentals on Lodgify and take direct bookings there. Our Lodgify integration page covers its booking widget, pricing, and lock links.
Budget under $750
You manage a few listings and have under $750 to spend. Hostaway's Marketplace apps and help center guides may already cover what you need.
Your own booking platform
You want to replace Hostaway with your own booking platform. Our vacation rental site development page covers custom builds like that.

Hostaway integrations from DeveloperLook start at $750 for up to 3 Marketplace apps, turnover tasks, and your Booking Website on Google. Webhook-driven operations start at $1,900, and custom Hostaway Public API builds start at $3,900. Hostaway charges for its own subscription, and our fixed quote follows a free reservation flow review.
Hostaway doesn't publish prices; you request a quote based on how many listings you manage. Its pricing form starts by asking for your listing count, in bands from 1 listing up to 200 or more. Our integration fee depends on the flows you need, not on your listing count.
Hostaway is vacation rental software that combines a property management system with a channel manager. It connects listings to Airbnb, Vrbo, Booking.com, Expedia, and Google, and adds a unified inbox, tasks, owner statements, and a booking website. Hostaway describes the platform as AI-powered, with AI replies inside its guest inbox.
Hostaway keeps rates, availability, and reservations in step across every channel your listings use, so one calendar drives them all. It sends automated guest messages, creates tasks for cleaners and maintenance, and takes payments through a provider you connect, such as Stripe. Its Marketplace adds apps for pricing, locks, and screening.
Vacation rental managers use Hostaway to run listings, guests, and turnovers from one dashboard. Common jobs include listing on several channels without double bookings and answering guests from one inbox. Teams also schedule cleaners after each checkout, pay owners from statements, and take direct bookings on a branded site.
Hostaway works as the hub between your listings and the booking channels. You connect each channel account, map listings, and set rates once, and Hostaway sends changes out and pulls reservations, cancellations, and messages back. Webhooks and the API then pass those reservations to the rest of your tools.
Connect each extra Airbnb account through Channel Manager, then Channels, then Airbnb Pro, using a separate incognito window. Log out of the first Airbnb account before adding the next. Each account must belong to the listing owner and have two-factor login turned on, and one Airbnb listing can sit in only one Hostaway account.
Yes, Hostaway takes payments through a provider you connect rather than its own processor. Its help center names Stripe and Braintree, and Stripe also supports a pre-authorized hold for security deposits. Airbnb collects payment for its own bookings, so Hostaway payments matter most for direct and some channel reservations.
Yes, you can copy a payment link from a reservation's payment timeline and paste it into a guest message. Guests can also pay from the Guest Portal with its Pay now button. If you want links sent by rule, we check what Message Automations allows on your account before building anything.
Not as a built-in survey tool, but Hostaway can send review requests after a stay. Its Guest Reviews module puts a review link into an automated message through the review_url field, and guests rate their stay on a form. For a longer survey, we connect a form tool and trigger it from checkout.
