Managing your short-term rental on Hospitable? You can connect it to your Boostly direct booking website and start taking commission-free reservations without altering the automated workflows and systems you have already set up. This guide explains what the integration does, who it works best for, and what to expect once everything is live.
Why Hospitable Users Choose Boostly for Their Direct Booking Website
Hospitable built its reputation on automation. The platform handles guest messaging intelligently, adjusts pricing dynamically, coordinates cleaning and maintenance tasks, and keeps everything running with minimal manual input. It is a platform designed for operators who want to run lean without sacrificing quality of service.
What Hospitable, like most PMS platforms, does not specialise in is the marketing and conversion side of direct bookings. Getting guests to find your property outside of Airbnb, giving them a professional website to land on, and convincing them to book directly rather than through an OTA, that is a different challenge entirely.
Boostly exists to solve that challenge. When you connect Hospitable to your Boostly website, your availability, pricing, and property details pull through automatically. Guests arrive at a website you own and control, can check live availability, and complete a booking directly with you. Every direct reservation means no commission paid to a third-party platform.
What Is Hospitable and Who Uses It?
Hospitable launched in 2016 as a time-saving tool for short-term rental hosts and has grown into a comprehensive property management platform used by operators in more than 140 countries. The platform covers the full range of operational needs, from guest messaging and automated responses through to dynamic pricing, cleaning coordination, and owner management for larger portfolios.
Hospitable holds Preferred Plus Partner status with Airbnb and Premier Partner status with Booking.com, which are the highest partnership tiers available with each platform. This means the channel connections are robust and data syncs reliably across the OTAs you are listed on.
The platform is used across the full spectrum of operator types. Individual hosts managing a single property and property managers running portfolios of 250 doors or more both use Hospitable. The Mogul plan is specifically designed for professional property managers with complex reporting, owner payout, and expense management needs.
What the Boostly and Hospitable Integration Does
The connection between Boostly and Hospitable is built on a direct API, meaning the data exchange between the two platforms is continuous and does not require any manual intervention from you. With the integration active:
- Live availability: Any booking made through Hospitable or any connected OTA updates your Boostly website calendar immediately, so guests always see accurate dates.
- Real-time pricing: Dynamic pricing adjustments made within Hospitable, including seasonal rates and minimum stay requirements, reflect correctly on your Boostly website.
- Property content: Descriptions, photographs, amenities, and house rules from your Hospitable listings populate your Boostly website automatically.
- Direct booking feed: When a guest books through your Boostly site, the reservation is pushed straight into Hospitable, blocking those dates across all your connected channels.
- Automated messages: Hospitable communication workflows fire for direct bookings in exactly the same way they do for OTA bookings, giving guests a consistent experience regardless of how they booked.
The integration requires no ongoing maintenance. Once it is set up, it runs continuously in the background.
Who Gets the Most From This Combination
Hosts who want to run automated and direct
Hospitable is the natural home for operators who want their PMS to do most of the work. Boostly adds a direct booking channel that fits that ethos. You set up your website once, connect it to Hospitable, and the system runs. Guests find you, check availability, and book without you needing to manage the process manually.
Operators moving away from OTA dependence
If the bulk of your bookings currently come through Airbnb and you want to change that over time, a Boostly website is the foundation of that shift. You do not need to leave any platform. Most Boostly clients continue using Airbnb and other OTAs while building their direct booking channel in parallel. As your direct percentage grows, your commission costs fall.
Hosts at any portfolio size
Hospitable supports everything from a single property to 250 or more doors. Boostly websites scale in the same way. Whether you have one property or twenty, the integration works the same way and the direct booking website adapts to the size of your portfolio. There is no minimum threshold to make it worthwhile.
How the Connection Is Set Up
The Boostly team handles the technical setup as part of your website build. You do not need any technical background to get started.
- Your Boostly project manager configures the API connection between Hospitable and your new website during the build.
- Your Hospitable properties are mapped to the corresponding pages on your Boostly site.
- The booking widget is integrated into your property pages so guests can check availability and complete a reservation without leaving your site.
- The connection is tested before launch to confirm that availability, pricing, and property content are syncing correctly.
- Your website goes live fully connected to your Hospitable account.
Existing Boostly clients who want to change to Hospitable from another PMS can have the integration updated by their project manager. Your website and all existing content remain in place.

Hospitable's Channel Management and the Direct Booking Opportunity
Hospitable's Preferred Plus status with Airbnb and Premier Partner status with Booking.com reflects the reliability of its channel connections. When you make a change in Hospitable, it pushes out to your OTA listings quickly and accurately. Double bookings caused by sync delays are a genuine operational risk for operators running without a robust channel manager, and Hospitable addresses that well.
When you add a Boostly website to that setup, the direct booking channel benefits from the same data reliability. Guests checking availability on your Boostly site see the same accurate calendar as guests checking on Airbnb. There is no discrepancy and no risk of accepting a booking you cannot fulfil.
For operators who want to grow their direct booking revenue without dismantling their OTA strategy, this is precisely the architecture that makes it manageable. Your OTA presence continues to generate bookings and visibility. Your Boostly website builds a brand and a direct relationship with guests who may return for future stays without going through a platform at all.
What Boostly Provides That a PMS Website Builder Cannot
Hospitable includes a direct booking website product as part of its offering, particularly through its direct booking features. For operators who want a simple, single-vendor solution, it offers a practical starting point.
The difference worth considering is what each is designed to do. A website built into a PMS is optimised for operational integration, displaying your listings accurately and enabling bookings. A Boostly website is designed around conversion, meaning the page layouts, trust signals, design choices, and booking flow are all built to maximise the proportion of visitors who complete a reservation.
You also own a WordPress website, which means you have full control over your content, can build up your organic search rankings over time through blog posts and local content, and are never dependent on a PMS provider continuing to offer a website product. If you change PMS providers in the future, your Boostly site stays with you.
