About Ministays
1. Visit the MiniStays website. Create a host account, if you haven’t already done so. Among other things, you’ll need to verify your phone number, email, and upload some form of identification. You will also need to create or connect a Stripe account to enable payouts.
2. Go to your dashboard and click on “Listings” in the left hand column. Then click “Add Listing” in the top right hand corner. Enter information, description, photos, pricing, availability, amenities etc. until completed. Be as detailed as possible here as it helps guests know what to expect during their stay at your property.
Tips:
– The MiniStays team highly recommends professional photography as it’s proven that will help you book faster, attract better guests, and earn more money.
– Take some time to think through each cancellation policy option in conjunction with your security deposit policy. Make sure to inform the guests what to expect in terms of cancellations, damage to property, and how/when the deposit is expected to be returned.
3. When you’re done filling out the required info, click publish listing. Congrats! You’ve successfully listed your first property on MiniStays!

MiniStays has 4 options for Hosts to choose from for their cancellation policies. Also, based on the Host’s cancellation policy, the Host can determine how the security deposit will be handled upon cancellations. For example, if a Host has a flexible cancellation policy then they may be more strict in how much of the security deposit is returned as a result of early cancellation.
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.
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.
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.
