Hostaway October Updates

October was about upgrading the mobile owner experience, letting CoHost handle bookings for your approval, and bringing more features for the Booking.com content sync. These updates cut down the questions your team answers every day and the time you spend switching between tools. Here's what's new. 👇

📱 Where's my statement? Can I book a stay? Your team answers these all day. Now your owners can answer them themselves, in a few taps, right from their phone. Owners see revenue, occupancy, and average nightly rate, with a year-over-year comparison. They can view, download, and share the statements you've published, and book, edit, and manage their personal stays. The Mobile Owner Experience is already included in your subscription.

🤖 CoHost can now prepare direct bookings and owner stays for your approval. Ask it to add a booking from a phone call or repeat guest, and it prepares a review card with the property, dates, guest count, and guest contact details, all editable before you approve. It won't create a booking if the dates overlap an existing reservation, and you can draft up to three guest messages at once.

🏠 Four new updates bring more of your Booking.com setup into Hostaway, so you can now manage your listings end-to-end without going into the extranet. That includes rate plan management, property and policy management, contracting, and licenses. Rate plan changes push to Booking.com automatically. Spend less time in the extranet and keep your channels aligned.

💸 Expenses you record in Hostaway can now sync to QuickBooks Online as bills, one bill per expense. Each new expense creates a bill, and if you edit an expense or add or remove a receipt, the matching bill updates too. Your books stay in step with Hostaway, without entering expenses twice.
