HostOwls

AI that answers your guests, and hands off when unsure.

Replies come from your guidebook and the guest's reservation, so they're right. Anything that needs a decision goes to a person, by name. Nobody gets a confident guess.

A$3.75 to A$6 per property, per month. Guidebook included. No setup fee, contract or commission.

Hi! What's the code for the front door? We just pulled up.
Welcome, Sarah! Your door code is 4821. The keypad is on the left of the front door, under the light.

Thanks. Any chance we could check out at 1 instead of 10?
Late checkout depends on the next booking, so I've asked Mia from the host team. She'll reply here shortly.

Sample conversation.

One rule: answer from the data, or hand it off.

That's the difference between AI that saves you time and AI that promises a guest a free late checkout you can't give.

Answers on its own

  • "What's the door code?"
  • "What's the Wi-Fi password?"
  • "What time is check-in?"
  • "Where do we park?"
  • "How does the coffee machine work?"
  • "Which day are the bins collected?"

If it's in the guidebook or the reservation, it's answered without you.

Hands to a person

  • "Can we check out at 1 pm?"
  • "Can we bring our dog?"
  • "The heater isn't working."
  • "Can we get a partial refund?"
  • "Can two more friends stay tonight?"
  • Anything the guidebook doesn't cover

The guest is told a person is on it, and the message comes to you to answer.

The same data the guest already sees.

The AI and the guidebook read from one place. When you fix an answer in the guidebook, the AI's answer changes too. When the weekly review adds a missing answer, the AI starts using it.

How the guidebook builds itself
  1. ReservationDates, guest, door code from your PMS
  2. GuidebookYour property details plus this guest's stay
  3. AI replyAnswers only from the two above

Questions hosts ask

How does the AI know the answers?
It reads from your HostOwls guidebook and the guest's reservation: door code, Wi-Fi, times, house rules, local tips. It does not search the internet or make things up.
What does it do when it isn't sure?
It hands the message to a person and tells the guest someone is looking at it. On AI messaging that person is you or your team. On Guest Support Staff it is ours.
Which questions does it hand off?
Anything that needs a decision or isn't in your data: late checkout, early check-in, refunds, damage, complaints, exceptions to house rules.
Does it work with Airbnb, Vrbo and Booking.com messages?
It works through your PMS: Resly, or any PMS with an open API, such as Hostaway, Guesty, Lodgify, Smoobu and OwnerRez.
Is the guidebook included?
Yes. AI messaging includes the guidebook, from A$3.75 to A$6 per property, per month, with no setup fee or contract.
