A channel manager built on Beds24
Vostay connects to Airbnb, Booking.com and Vrbo through Beds24, an established channel manager. Beds24 uses the platforms' official connections: you authorise the link from your Airbnb account, and on Booking.com you choose Beds24 as your connectivity provider.
Beds24 stays the source of truth for your listings and bookings. Every change you make in Vostay is written to Beds24 first, then read back: the calendar is never a separate copy. The Beds24 subscription is included in the Vostay price.
One synced calendar per listing
One listing, one calendar, whatever the channels and accounts, even across several Airbnb accounts.
- Month view: one listing at a time, the price of each night and bookings in their account's colour.
- Timeline view: all your listings as rows, centred on today.
- Combined or Split: when a flat is published on several listings, a price or block applies to all of them, or to just one.
On a phone, the calendar always shows the month grid.
Avoiding double bookings
When a flat is sold through several listings, Vostay closes the same nights on the others as soon as a booking arrives: within seconds, then again after every sync as a safety net. If that booking is cancelled, it reopens the nights it closed.
You choose how your listings sell:
- all listings sell: the first one booked wins, and the others close for those nights;
- only the priority listing sells: the others stay closed, and you open nights on them by hand if you want.
Nights you blocked yourself are never reopened. A booking you add by hand, for a friend or a direct booking, closes the nights too.
If two bookings still land on the same nights, for example accepted at the same moment on two channels, Vostay alerts you and you choose which one stays. You then cancel the other on the platform itself: Vostay never cancels a booking for you.
Prices, blocks and booking rules
Select nights on the calendar, up to 400 at a time, to change the price, block or unblock, set a minimum or maximum stay, or add a private note. A block closes the night on every connected channel. When you change a price from the calendar, Vostay forces it through to Airbnb, which would otherwise wait for its next update.
The listing's booking rules live in the same place:
- base price and weekend uplift;
- cleaning, linen, pet and extra-guest fees;
- weekly, monthly, early-bird and last-minute discounts;
- minimum stay, advance notice, preparation time and availability window;
- for Vrbo, a price uplift and the cancellation policy.
Vostay doesn't do dynamic pricing: the price comes from your base price, the weekend uplift and the prices you set night by night.
Connecting your accounts
Airbnb accounts are added from Vostay with a guided page. Log in as the Primary Account Owner: Airbnb blocks co-hosts. Booking.com and Vrbo are connected on their side and in Beds24, then appear in Vostay with their first booking. Guided setup is included in every plan.
A calendar that feeds everything else
Each booking that arrives is used elsewhere too: the guest's conversation in the inbox, the cleaning created on checkout day, and the revenue in your books. The channel manager is included in all three plans, from €19.99 per property per month: see pricing. Next, see cleaning management, accounting, and the Airbnb conciergerie software page that shows the whole product.
