About Flataway

Flataway is a members-only vacation rental platform that lets property managers earn commissions from guest bookings across a referral network.

About Hostfully's Property Management Platform

Hostfully products give property managers the tools they need to automate their business, earn more money, and deliver a 5-star guest experience.

The Property Management Platform lets you automate and simplify the busy management operations of running a vacation rental. With award-winning and industry-leading features such as a booking pipeline, channel manager, central calendar, unified inbox with templates, triggers and AI-enhanced communications, payment processing, analytics & reporting, smart home management, and more, you can run your business with less effort and more success.

Hostfully provides premium channel distribution to over 50+ booking platforms and OTAs. We’re one of the few companies in the world to hold the distinct quadruple crown: Preferred Plus, Premium & Elite Partner Status with Airbnb, Vrbo, [Booking.com](http://booking.com/), and Homes and Villas by Marriott Bonvoy.

We connect with other listing sites and OTAs through direct API (we don’t rely on a separate channel manager to sync), making Hostfully one of the most stable platforms in the industry.

Hostfully’s unique pipeline view gives managers a bird’s eye view of their businesses to easily track incoming leads, unpaid deposits, upcoming check-ins and checkouts, manage teams and tasks, and automate operations. Guest communication through our Unified Inbox enhanced with InboxAI, allows managers to quickly screen and send AI-generated responses to save valuable time and ensure consistent, quality messages.

We offer direct integrations with 100+ of the industry’s leading software providers, giving you the option to pick and choose software that’s right for you. We believe that your business is unique—and so should the software used to run it.
Our onboarding process empowers managers to learn at their own speeds and styles. All customers have access to weekday Onboarding Office Hours, on-demand Hostfully University video tutorials, and 1:1 designated Onboarding Specialists, among other resources.

Please note that the set up time to import and list properties on listing sites varies. This is outside of our control. However, due to Hostfully’s Preferred Partner status with Airbnb, Vrbo, Booking.com, and Homes and Villas by Marriott Bonvoy, we can track your status and gain faster listing site assistance if an unforeseen problem happens.
Hostfully invests in and provides world-class customer support across markets and available 24/7, with dedicated specialists working whenever you are. Additionally, all customers have access to our 300+ help articles, optional instant AI support, Hostfully’s Facebook Users group, Hostfully University courses, webinars, and live office hours.
