Get started nowHostfully has established itself as one of the leading property management platforms for vacation rentals. Created by travel enthusiasts with hands-on experience in property management, this cloud-based software was designed from the start to help managers scale from a single property to portfolios of 100+ listings and beyond.
The Hostfully PMS stands out with its centralized calendar that syncs reservations from multiple channels, its unified inbox that consolidates all guest communications, its automated messaging capabilities triggered by customizable rules, and its solutions for multi-unit management. Hostfully also offers Guidebooks or interactive digital guides that enrich the guest experience, along with an advanced reporting system that allows you to track performance by currency, by channel, and by period.
Hostfully users particularly appreciate the platform's stability, responsive customer support, and extensive ecosystem of third-party integrations with major players like Airbnb, Vrbo, Booking.com, as well as specialized tools for dynamic pricing, housekeeping management, and smart locks. Hostfully has even recently developed InboxAI, an AI-assisted messaging tool that generates personalized responses based on property data and guidebook information.
Despite these many strengths, some users mention occasionally slow loading times, limited mobile optimization, and the need to sometimes go through multiple steps to access certain features. These technical constraints can slow down operations in a context where responsiveness is essential.
Integrating artificial intelligence into your Hostfully ecosystem requires no complex technical manipulation. Unlike traditional integrations that rely on intermediary connectors or imperfect iCal synchronizations, Nowistay's AI co-host connects directly to the sources: Airbnb and Booking.
This native connection eliminates synchronization delay risks and guarantees optimal responsiveness. Your guest messages are processed in real time, your responses are sent instantly, and all information flows without intermediaries. Implementation is quick, requires no additional application downloads, and depends on no external connector to configure.
For property managers and hosts using Hostfully, this approach presents a considerable advantage: you keep your PMS for all operational, administrative, and accounting management, while benefiting from an intelligent conversational assistant that operates directly on the platforms where your reservations are located. It's the ideal complementarity.
Nowistay's AI co-host handles all your exchanges with travelers, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, in all languages. No more stress from unread messages in the middle of the night or during an extended weekend.
The AI assistant instantly responds to questions about available amenities: parking presence, accommodation capacity, baby equipment, WiFi connection. It communicates precisely about your house rules: pet policy, check-in and check-out times, no-smoking policy. It automatically sends personalized welcome messages upon booking confirmation, access instructions at the right time, or links to your upsells when necessary.
Before guests depart, the AI transmits checkout instructions and sends a warm thank-you message while discreetly requesting a review. This conversational continuity significantly improves the guest experience, a determining factor in your overall ratings.
The AI assistant's constant responsiveness directly impacts your ranking in Airbnb and Booking algorithms. These platforms value hosts who respond quickly, a criterion that your intelligent co-host naturally optimizes by maintaining a 100% response rate and an average response time of less than one minute.
The true strength of Nowistay's AI co-host lies in its direct and native connection with Airbnb and Booking. Unlike classic integrations that transit through your PMS and then sync to platforms, our solution directly interacts with Airbnb and Booking messaging systems.
This architecture guarantees perfect consistency: every message sent or received on these platforms is instantly processed by artificial intelligence, without synchronization delays. You no longer need to juggle between multiple interfaces or verify that all your conversations are properly centralized.
For Hostfully users, this means you can continue managing your calendar, rates, financial reports, and all administration in your usual PMS, while the AI co-host exclusively handles guest relations on booking platforms. A clear and efficient separation of responsibilities.
This approach is particularly relevant in a context where travelers expect personalized and rapid responses. Nowistay's artificial intelligence analyzes the context of each conversation, adapts its tone, and provides accurate information based on the real characteristics of your property. All while maintaining that human touch that makes the difference.
Property management companies that have adopted Nowistay's AI co-host as a complement to their Hostfully PMS report significant transformations in their daily operations.
A property manager handling 27 properties in the Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur region reports having reduced by three times the time devoted to guest message management. Previously, two people dedicated a significant portion of their day to responding to recurring requests. Now, the team focuses on complex situations or specific requests requiring human intervention, while the AI handles 85% of standard exchanges.
Another luxury property manager in the Alps notes a measurable improvement in overall ratings since activating the AI co-host. Response time went from several hours on average to less than 3 minutes, even in the middle of the night. This responsiveness directly contributed to improving the communication rating, which rose from 4.7 to 4.9 stars in three months.
The digital transformation brought by artificial intelligence is not limited to time savings. It also standardizes response quality, eliminates information oversights, and maintains a consistent service level even during peak activity periods. Travelers benefit from a smooth and professional experience from the beginning to the end of their stay.
Several users emphasize the impact on their algorithmic visibility: platforms like Airbnb favor listings whose hosts are very responsive and maintain an excellent satisfaction rate. By improving these two indicators simultaneously, the AI co-host indirectly contributes to increasing the number of bookings received.
Yes, since our solution doesn't integrate directly with Hostfully but connects natively to Airbnb and Booking platforms. Regardless of the PMS or channel manager you use, as long as your properties are listed on these platforms, the AI co-host will work perfectly.
From the moment of activation, you'll notice instant handling of all incoming messages on your Airbnb and Booking listings. Response rate reaches 100%, average response time drops below 3 minutes, and you immediately recover time to focus on the strategic aspects of your business.
No, and that's not the goal. The AI co-host efficiently handles recurring questions and standard exchanges, freeing your team for situations requiring true human expertise, empathy, or complex decision-making. You always maintain control and can intervene at any time. Additionally, the AI co-host notifies you via email and/or WhatsApp when an emergency situation or your intervention is necessary.
The intelligent assistant relies on information present in your Airbnb and Booking listings as well as in the digital welcome guide created by you: description, amenities, house rules, photos, videos. It contextualizes its responses based on each property and can be enriched with additional information according to your needs. The AI co-host also has its own general useful knowledge (for example about the city, transportation, places to visit) and its own intelligence. It can thus answer questions by deducing obvious facts, using logic, or even conducting its own web research.
Absolutely. Nowistay's AI co-host operates exclusively on the conversational layer with travelers. All your other operations in Hostfully (calendar, pricing, reports, guidebooks, internal automation...) remain unchanged. Both solutions coexist perfectly.
Faced with the emergence of artificial intelligence tools in vacation rentals, many managers are looking to connect these new technologies to their existing PMS. While Hostfully already offers InboxAI to assist with message drafting, this feature remains limited to occasional content generation assistance.
Nowistay's AI co-host adopts a radically different approach: rather than adding an AI layer inside your PMS, we connect directly to the platforms where your conversations with travelers actually take place. This native connection with Airbnb and Booking guarantees optimal responsiveness, without depending on synchronization delays inherent to classic integrations.
For Hostfully users, this represents the best of both worlds: you keep a solid and proven PMS to manage all your operations, while benefiting from an intelligent conversational assistant that works in real time, 24/7, directly on your listing messaging systems.
Artificial intelligence doesn't replace your expertise or your sense of hospitality. It frees you from repetitive and time-consuming tasks so you can focus on what truly creates value: developing your portfolio, perfecting the guest experience, optimizing your business strategy.
Property management companies that integrate AI into their organization today gain a competitive advantage. They meet the growing expectations of travelers accustomed to instant responsiveness, while positioning themselves favorably in platform algorithms that value operational excellence.
Ready to take the leap? Test Nowistay's AI co-host on one of your properties to see the transformation for yourself before activating it across your entire portfolio. Intelligent automation is no longer an option. It has become a standard in professional vacation rental management.
Gain a competitive edge and meet travelers' expectations for instant responsiveness. Intelligent automation is no longer an option: it has become a standard in professional vacation rental management.
