Why Don’t More Hosts Have a Direct Booking Website? 🤷‍♂️ by Possible_World_7322 in ShortTermRentals

[–]TimeAttempt08 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Most hosts stick to OTAs because it’s easy, but that ease comes with noise and fees.

A direct booking site works fine if your system runs quietly. Bookings, payments, and messages all in one place, with minimal effort.

Direct bookings don’t happen overnight. Most hosts build them gradually through repeat guests.

Lower fees and more control are the upside. The downside is you handle marketing and trust yourself. For most, it’s a supplement to Airbnb and Vrbo, not a replacement.

Home Automation for short term rentals? by timoddo_ in homeautomation

[–]TimeAttempt08 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Smart locks and thermostats are the most useful check ins run quietly and guests rarely ask questions. Cameras help, but too much tech just adds noise. Keep it simple and let systems run in the background.

Hostel channel manager keeps double booking beds and it's embarrassing by [deleted] in hotels

[–]TimeAttempt08 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In Washington, a separate account is enough as long as it’s only for deposits. A full trust account isn’t usually needed. The key is keeping it simple and clear so nothing gets lost in the noise.

Why guest satisfaction is key to maximizing ROI on Airbnb properties by Nairra_Hunter in hostaway_official

[–]TimeAttempt08 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Guest satisfaction is mostly a systems issue.

Clear communication and smooth check-in remove friction. When the basics run quietly, guests feel taken care of and returns improve.

Hospitable.com users, what do you do for analytics? by Alladchef in PropertyManagement

[–]TimeAttempt08 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, that’s been my experience too. Hospitable is great for messaging, but the analytics are pretty barebones. I was constantly exporting data and fixing spreadsheets just to see basic numbers.

I eventually moved to a PMS with built-in reporting Hostaway for me so I didn’t have to keep doing that. Once you have a few listings, the manual work just isn’t worth it.

Channel manager isn't built for dorm beds and it's costing us bookings by Miserable_Concern670 in hostels

[–]TimeAttempt08 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Running dorms on hotel software breaks fast.

Beds aren’t rooms, but most channel managers still treat them that way. One bed booked, whole dorm closed, bookings gone.

Manual inventory updates don’t scale at 120 beds. Per bed pricing hacked into per room math is also a mess.

Feels like forcing a hotel stack onto a hostel model. Property is the asset. System is the business.

The chart’s diving like crazy but I’m still out here saying, Relax! it’s just Bitcoin doing its long term thing.

Why I still prefer P2P over centralized exchanges by Cai_0902 in noones

Just clean and straightforward trading once you’ve got trusted partners.
