Nowistay is an all-in-one platform for short-term rental hosts and property managers. It combines an AI co-host that answers your guests 24/7, a channel manager to sync your calendar across platforms, and tools to automate cleaning, team tasks, and guest communication.
Anyone who manages short-term rentals — whether you have 1 property or 100+. Individual hosts, concierge companies, and property managers all use Nowistay to save time and deliver better guest experiences.
Nowistay is AI-first. The AI co-host replies to your guests automatically — no manual review needed. It handles about 95% of guest messages on its own, 24/7, in 90+ languages. Most other tools still require you to read and approve every message.
Nowistay offers two plans, priced per property:
All prices are tax-free. Volume discounts are available from 5 properties. See the full pricing on nowistay.com/pricing.
Yes. Use the promo code BETA at checkout to get your first month free on the full plan. You can cancel at any time during or after the trial.
You can create your account and set up your digital welcome guide for free. The welcome guide plan starts at just €10/year. The full AI + channel manager plan requires a paid subscription.
Everything: AI co-host that answers guests 24/7, channel manager (Airbnb, Booking.com, VRBO), unified calendar with pricing, automated guest messages, cleaning and team management, smart lock integrations (Nuki, igloohome, TTLock, Tedee), direct booking widget, guest identity verification, PriceLabs integration, and the ChatGPT/Claude connector.
Yes. Volume discounts start automatically from 5 properties and apply to all your properties. The more properties you add, the lower the price per property. Check the calculator on our pricing page.
Yes, you choose per property. Monthly is €12/month with no commitment. Annual is €120/year (a 16% saving). You can switch from monthly to annual at any time.
Per property. Each property has its own subscription. You can mix monthly and annual plans across your properties.
No. You pay only the subscription price for each property. The only additional cost is if you use WhatsApp AI conversations with guests, which cost $0.04 per message. WhatsApp notifications to you and your team (alerts, mission briefings, etc.) are included at no extra cost.
Create your free account at app.nowistay.com, add your properties (bulk import from Airbnb takes about 1 minute), and create your welcome guide with the AI wizard (about 2 minutes). Then spend around 30 minutes editing the guide to make it complete and accurate. After that, the AI co-host starts answering your guests on Airbnb. You can then set up automated messages, smart lock integrations, and other features at your own pace.
No. Creating an account is completely free with no credit card required. Before subscribing, you can create your properties and edit your welcome guide to see how everything works. A subscription is only needed to share the guide with guests and activate the AI co-host and channel manager features.
You can create your account, add your properties, and build your welcome guide for free. This lets you explore the platform and see how it works. To share the guide with guests or activate the AI co-host, calendar sync, and all other features, you need to subscribe the property to a plan.
From the Properties page, click "Add a property." You can import directly from Airbnb (the bulk import wizard lets you add all your listings in about 1 minute), from a supported PMS (Beds24, Smoobu, Lodgify), or create it manually. See the full guide.
No. Nowistay is designed to be simple. Connect your Airbnb or Booking.com account, fill in your welcome guide, and the AI takes care of the rest. No coding or technical knowledge required.
The AI co-host is an intelligent assistant that automatically answers your guests' messages on Airbnb, Booking.com, and WhatsApp. It responds 24/7 in over 90 languages, using information from your welcome guide and property settings. See how the AI co-host works.
It answers guest questions about check-in, WiFi, house rules, local recommendations, and more. It can also handle early check-in and late check-out requests by coordinating with your cleaning team, and it can sell your additional services (late check-out, airport transfers, etc.). See the full list of features.
Yes. The AI responds automatically — no manual review needed. Your guests get instant answers even at 3am. You can still jump in and reply manually whenever you want. Learn how the co-host interacts with guests.
No. Messages appear to come from you, the host. The AI co-host can even sign messages with your first name. From the guest’s perspective, it looks like they are communicating directly with you.
The AI automatically escalates the conversation to you. You receive a notification with the full context so you can take over in seconds. Set up your notifications to be alerted instantly.
The AI supports over 90 languages. It automatically detects the guest's language and responds in that same language.
Yes. The AI uses your welcome guide as its main knowledge source. You can also add specific instructions in the private knowledge base to control how the AI handles particular topics (e.g., "never accept date changes without my approval").
The AI responds on Airbnb, Booking.com, and WhatsApp. All conversations are visible in one unified inbox on Nowistay.
VRBO calendar and booking sync are supported, but VRBO does not yet allow automated messaging through its API. You can connect your VRBO listing and use WhatsApp as an alternative for VRBO guest communication.
The channel manager is a built-in PMS that syncs your calendar, prices, and availability across Airbnb, Booking.com, and VRBO in real time. When a guest books on one platform, the dates are automatically blocked on all others. See what changes when you connect the channel manager.
Airbnb, Booking.com, and VRBO are supported via direct integration. You can also use iCal links to connect other platforms.
Yes, partially. You can connect Nowistay alongside Beds24, Smoobu, or Lodgify for the AI co-host and welcome guide. However, the full feature set (smart locks, cleaning automation, calendar management, direct booking) is only available when Nowistay is your main channel manager.
From the calendar view in Nowistay, you can open or block dates, set nightly rates, adjust minimum stay, and see all your bookings across platforms. Changes sync automatically to Airbnb and Booking.com. See the full calendar guide.
Yes. Set default rates and minimum/maximum stay per property, then override them for specific dates. You can also set different rate adjustments per channel (e.g., +15% on Airbnb to offset commissions). See Airbnb availability settings.
Yes. Add bookings manually for phone reservations, returning guests, or direct bookings. These automatically block availability on all connected platforms. You can also send a payment link to the guest. See how to manage manual bookings.
The calendar shows you exactly why each date is blocked — hover over it to see the reason (minimum stay, preparation time, advance notice, or a booking). A direct link takes you to the setting to fix it.
An online booklet you share with your guests containing everything they need: check-in instructions, WiFi password, house rules, local recommendations, and more. Guests access it via a simple link or QR code — no app download needed.
You can create it with AI in just a few clicks. The AI generates a complete guide based on your Airbnb listing and any documents you upload (PDF, Word). The AI wizard takes about 2 minutes, then you spend around 30 minutes editing and customizing the content to make it complete and accurate. You can also create it manually.
Creating and editing your welcome guide is free. To keep it published and accessible to guests year-round, the welcome guide plan is €10/year per property.
Guests receive a link (or QR code) that opens the guide in their browser. No app download required. The guide works on any phone, tablet, or computer.

Yes. Each property has its own dedicated welcome guide that you can fully customize.
When a guest checks out, Nowistay automatically creates a cleaning mission and assigns it to your team. Your team gets a WhatsApp or email notification with a briefing (guest name, check-out time, next arrival). They complete a checklist and upload photos when done. See how to enable automation.
Yes. Add team members with different roles: cleaning, maintenance, manager, check-in specialist, or owner. Each member can be assigned to specific properties and notified via email or WhatsApp. See how to add team members.
Missions are tasks you assign to your team — cleaning, maintenance, or urgent issues. Each mission includes a checklist, photo uploads, and a completion report. Missions can be created automatically (after each checkout) or manually. See how to manage missions.
Yes. When a guest asks for early check-in or late check-out, the AI contacts your cleaning team automatically. If the cleaner accepts, the AI confirms to the guest, updates the booking times, and adjusts the smart lock code — all without your involvement. See how it works in detail.
