Referral Revenue
Easily make more money by adding one (or more!) Viator tour link to your guidebook
A win-win situation
Did you know that on average travelers spend $300 per person during a stay on tours and activities? This means your vacation rental business could add $24 per person per stay in passive income.
Simply add a Viator link or two to local tours and activities in the area of interest to the guest. If the guest purchases a tour or activity through the link, you will receive eight per cent of the value. That’s all – there is really no hustle required on your part, or complicated phone calls to tour operators.

Our customers say it best
Hear from clients why they love using Hostfully
Hostfully has lots of great features at a fairly affordable price compared to other softwares. The onboarding was excellent and the customer service may be the best part about it. The enhanced reporting is what made me switch to Hostfully, it has saved me tons of time on the back end billing home owners.
Austin P, Turquoise Antler Short Term Rentals
Hostfully has a wide range of integrations with other technology software companies that we want to work with. Their “pipeline management “ functionality makes it super easy to get a quick understanding of all bookings and inquiries across all listings. On top of that, they have one of the best customer support teams that we’ve seen.
Jasper Ribbers, Overnight Success
Been great! Looking forward to opening more doors with Hostfully. Hostfully has been able to streamline my property onboarding and makes it much easier to have your properties on multiple channels without getting double bookings. The Hostfully customer service team is amazing and very helpful. Always there for me when I have questions.

We've been using Hostfully for 5 years to manage our now 40+ properties in Costa Rica (Osa Property Management). We started using Hostfully when we were managing just five homes, and as we've grown, Hostfully has become even more important to our success.
Nick Halverson, OSA Property Management
Hostfully has become an integral part of delivering an exceptional guest experience at Moving Mountains. Our homes are complex with many features & intricacies and the guidebooks have allowed us to easily share the relevant information so guests can safely use every feature. Now we get fewer troubleshooting calls and better reviews. We could not be more satisfied!
