Tell us about Hospitable!

Hospitable gifts short-term rental hosts their valuable time back. Founded in 2016 as a tool to help our CEO and founder manage the listing for his spare bedroom in Brussels, Hospitable’s tools allow hosts to automate the most time-consuming hosting elements. Hosts use Hospitable to answer 90% of guest messages with AI-powered automated messaging, to automate their team notifications so they never miss a clean, and to avoid double bookings with a synchronized calendar across booking channels. Hospitable allows hosts to build their direct booking website with many safeguards you would find in a third-party OTA and to integrate with popular third-party online travel agencies (Airbnb, Vrbo, and Booking.com).

How many different tools and technologies does Hospitable integrate with? 

Hospitable has over 30 integrations with industry partners, and that number is growing fast, with our public API allowing anyone to connect. With more apps, hosts can select the right tools to help them solve individual problems and elevate their operations. Hosts can finally build a bespoke tech stack, leveling the tech playing field between themselves and larger property management companies.

What impact does Hospitable have on the guest experience, and why is this important?

Our tools help hosts save time by automating various tasks, such as managing their calendars and building a direct booking site. It also enables guests to receive faster responses from hosts. Hosts have the ability to automatically answer the most common questions guests ask from our platform making sure guests always receive a prompt reply, even in the middle of the night.

Additionally, Hospitable has integrated ChatGPT, which allows guests to receive detailed information and local recommendations instantly. Hosts can generate these responses and send them to guests with just a click of a button.

How would you differentiate Hospitable capabilities from other PMS tools on the market?

Many similarities can be found between the various PMS tools that hosts have at their disposal. However, Hospitable stands out due to its user-friendly interface and ease of use from the get-go. Even if you're not a tech-savvy person, setting up the platform is a breeze. Also, our customer support team is always ready to help clients with any issues they may face since we genuinely care about their satisfaction.
