One dashboard for
every channel.

Hostex is an all-in-one property management system for short-term rental operators and property managers. It connects the major booking platforms and automates the messages, review requests, and cleaning tasks that follow a stay. Haven connects to that account directly and adds a direct booking site for the same listings.

The Hostex side

What Hostex runs

Hostex is the operation: every channel in one dashboard, and the work that follows a reservation handled for you.

  • Channels

    Listings, rates, and availability stay aligned across Airbnb, Vrbo, Booking.com, Agoda, Expedia, and the other platforms Hostex connects.

  • Guest messages

    Inquiries, scheduled notes, and review requests go out from Hostex, including the ones AI can answer.

  • Cleaning and team

    A reservation creates the cleaning task, assigns it, and keeps the team on the same calendar.

What syncs

Everything kept in lockstep between Haven and Hostex

Listing content, calendars, reservations, and guest messages import from Hostex, and Haven direct bookings are created in Hostex. Hostex stays your system of record.

Listing content

Photos, descriptions, amenities, fees, and house rules import from the channel listing Hostex already keeps, so nothing is re-entered.

Calendar and rates

Open and closed dates, nightly prices, and minimum stays sync from Hostex. Prices and blocks set in Haven are written back, and each channel keeps its Hostex price ratio.

Reservations

Reservations from Hostex channels appear in Haven. A booking taken on Haven is created in Hostex, so Airbnb, Vrbo, and the other channels close with it.

Messages and the guest portal

Guest conversations, door codes, and reviews come across with the stay. Haven adds the direct booking site, checkout, and guest portals.

How it works

Three steps from connected to live

1

Connect Hostex

Sign in to Haven and connect Hostex — sign in with Hostex, or paste an access token from the Host Portal. Haven never stores a Hostex password.

2

Import your listings

Choose which Hostex properties to publish. A property needs a channel such as Airbnb, Vrbo, or Booking.com in Hostex before its photos and description can import.

3

Launch your Haven site

Go live with branded checkout and the guest portal. Save the channel and income method Haven asks for, and direct bookings start appearing in Hostex.

Yes. Hostex stays the system of record for channels, rates, messages, and the team’s day. Haven adds the direct booking site and guest experience on top.

After connecting, Haven asks which custom channel and income method to file Haven bookings under. It starts on Booking Site and Stripe. Save that choice and the bookings appear in Hostex. To label them Haven, add a custom channel named Haven on Hostex’s Custom Options page.

Yes — free. Once listings and calendars sync from Hostex, each one gets its own free Haven site that can appear in Haven's AI guest stay search (bookwithhaven.com/stays), where travelers describe the trip in plain language and see real availability. Guests send booking requests from that site and Haven emails you each one. Being listed costs nothing; a paid plan is only for accepting bookings.
