Free tools for hosts

Website check

Enter your rental website's address and see what an AI assistant can read on it, and whether it finds you when a traveler asks. Takes about a minute.

Review reply helper

Paste a review from Airbnb, Vrbo or Booking.com and get a calm, professional public reply to post, plus whether the site's own rules give grounds to ask for it to be removed.

Travel demand dashboard

Is there demand for vacation rentals? Airport traffic, booked nights at Airbnb, Booking.com and Expedia, lodging prices, inflation, gas and the economy, updated daily from public sources. Sign in for your own state and the busy dates ahead.

Booking-site fee calculator

Put in your nightly rate and how often you're booked, and see what a year of Airbnb, Vrbo or Booking.com fees comes to, for you and your guests, and what the same stays would cost booked directly.

Calendar link checker

Paste the calendar export link from Airbnb, Vrbo, Booking.com or your management software and see whether it works, how many nights it shows as taken, and what to fix. Double bookings usually start with a link that quietly stopped working.

A short weekly email: one or two things that happened in the vacation rental business, with sources, and three practical tips.

More, once your place is set up

Setting up is free too. These come with a listing:

• A market price check. How your prices compare with similar places near you.
• A guest guidebook. Wi-Fi, how things work, check-out and your local picks on one page, with a QR card to print. Works for every guest, wherever they booked.
• A condition check. Photograph each room from the same spots after every clean, yourself or through your cleaner, and see what changed since the last stay. Dated before-and-after photos for every booking.
• Expenses and receipts. Snap a receipt and the shop, date and total are filled in for you to check and save. At tax time, a spreadsheet and a one-page summary for your accountant.
• A booking widget for your website. Live dates and real prices right on your own site, with a button to book. One line to paste.
• A “Book direct” button. For your own website, leading to your booking page under your name.
• A schedule for your cleaner. Every check-out and next arrival on one private link, with room for photos after each clean.
• Your own web address. Your booking pages at an address on your own domain.
