Features

Everything you need to run every stay.

Host Port is built to replace the dozen tabs, spreadsheets and sticky notes most hosts juggle. One workspace for your calendar, bookings, guests and channels, on web and mobile.

In practice

What each part does, and which plan it's on.

The cards above are the short version. This is the longer one. Anything not marked Pro is on the free plan, and Pro is $10 USD per listing per month.

Every plan

One calendar for every listing

Every listing is a row and every night a column, a year and a bit ahead, with bookings from every channel on the same grid.

  • Click or drag across nights to block them, set a price or take a percentage off
  • Add a booking by hand, a phone booking say, and those dates close on your channels
  • No check-in and no checkout days on the dates you choose
  • Prep nights between stays, and how much notice a guest has to give

Prices and stay rules

Set your prices once. Your booking page uses them on every plan, and on Pro they go out to every connected channel.

  • A base price, and a weekend price for Friday and Saturday nights
  • Seasons as rule sets: a fixed price, or a percentage up or down, for the dates you choose
  • Last-minute discounts on nights still empty close to the date
  • Minimum and maximum stay for the listing, a season or a single night, and weekly and monthly discounts on your booking page
  • On Pro, a different price or minimum stay for each channel, and PriceLabs if you use it

Calendar links free · direct on Pro

Channels

Any site with a calendar link swaps booked dates with Host Port for free. On Pro, a listing connects directly to Airbnb, Booking.com and Vrbo, and to Expedia, Agoda and Trip.com for hotels and B&Bs.

  • Calendar links are read about every 15 minutes and carry dates only
  • A direct connection sends prices, open dates and stay rules, and brings in bookings and guest messages
  • It is per listing, so one listing can go direct while the rest stay on calendar links
  • On Pro, Browse more channels opens Channex's marketplace of 488+ more booking sites

How each channel connects The free route

Every plan

Your own booking page

A booking page for every listing, and one page for all your homes together, on your own domain if you have one.

  • Request to book, with 24 hours to accept or decline and nothing charged until you accept, or instant book
  • Guests pay by card into your own Stripe account. Host Port takes nothing beyond Stripe's card fee
  • Promo codes, and gift cards guests can buy as credit or as a set stay

Every plan · channel messages on Pro

One inbox

Every conversation in one list, with the booking beside it. Direct guests on every plan; on Pro, Airbnb, Booking.com and Expedia messages through the connection, and Vrbo, Agoda and Trip.com messages by email.

  • Saved replies for each listing, with the guest's details filled in
  • A Suggest button that drafts a reply for you to edit or bin
  • Guest messages translated into your own language
  • Notes to your cleaner, with up to four photos and never the guest's name

Messages that send themselves

Write each listing's messages once, timed from the stay: after booking, before or on check-in day, after check-in, before or after checkout.

  • Each stay's queue sits in its conversation, where you can send one now, edit it, reschedule it or skip it
  • Direct guests get them by email; Airbnb and Booking.com guests get them through the connection
  • On Pro, an automatic 5-star review of each Airbnb guest after the wait you set, with a Don't send button

How automated messages work

Every plan

A page for each stay

Send guests a link to their own stay page, with your instructions, the extras you offer, your agreement and a deposit if you take one.

  • Extras guests buy before they arrive: parking, a cot, a pet fee, early check-in or late checkout
  • Your rental agreement, read and signed on the page. A signed copy never changes, even when you edit the wording
  • A security deposit held on the guest's card, charged only if you claim it
Every plan

Your team

Co-hosts, cleaners and managers get their own logins, and you choose per listing what each person can see and change.

  • Calendar, pricing, guest messages, listing details, channel connections and booked revenue, each set to no access, view only or full access
  • Roles to start from: Cleaner, Property manager or Co-host
  • A Cleaner sees the calendar and your notes, with prices and guest chats hidden
  • No charge per person. Pro is billed per connected listing
Every plan

The phone app

Host Port for iPhone and Android, with your calendar, inbox, listings and team.

  • Alerts for new bookings, changes, cancellations and messages, and before each check-in
  • Quiet hours that hold alerts until they end, rather than dropping them

Download on the App Store Get it on Google Play

Every plan · webhooks on Pro

Your data, in your own tools

A data connection feeds your bookings, calendar, reviews and earnings into Google Sheets, Excel or your own dashboard, as CSV or JSON.

  • Read only, and you choose which listings and which data each connection gets
  • Webhooks, which tell your own system when something changes, are on Pro
  • Download your guest list as a CSV whenever you like

Why hosts switch

Laurie saved $4,000 last year when he switched to Host Port.

“I was paying hotel money for software I needed a training call to understand. Host Port does the same job for a fraction of it. One calendar, every channel, and nothing I have to think about on a changeover day. Moving all four took less than an hour to do.”
