Frequently asked questions
- Hostfully customer support is available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
- Do not sync your Hostfully properties to the channels before completing pricing, fees, taxes, and availability otherwise you may receive double bookings or bookings below the price you want.
- Do not forget to do mock reservations up to the paywall after connecting to the channels to ensure prices and availability show as you expect.
After you adjust fees, taxes, or pricing, we suggest selecting dates on your listing like a guest would and reviewing the order.
Once a property is toggled ON within a channel in Hostfully and you connect that property to an existing listing, the data in Hostfully completely overwrites your existing listing. This includes pricing, photos, descriptions and rental terms. Make sure your property is complete in Hostfully before syncing!
- Airbnb:
Airbnb may collect and remit in your market. Otherwise, you will need to manage them. You can find more information here. - Vrbo, Booking.com, and direct bookings:
You are responsible for collecting and remitting your taxes.
- Airbnb:
We import Airbnb reservations into Hostfully for 1 year in the past and 2 years in the future. No need to enter those manually. - Vrbo and Direct:
You will need to manually enter your Vrbo and Direct reservations as Vrbo does not have the ability to send them automatically. Here is a help article on how to do that. - Booking.com:
We import Booking.com reservations into Hostfully for reservations with checkout dates in the future. No need to enter those manually.
- While our onboarding specialists are well versed with our integration partners, they are Hostfully experts and we suggest speaking with the channel or integration partner directly to ask specific questions about their product/service. We’ve provided some links below to get you started:
