Where our hosts are.
Three reasons travelers come back.
Book direct, save the fees
No guest service fee, no booking premium. The 15–25% the big OTAs add at checkout stays with you instead.
Talk to the host, not a bot
Every listing is run by the actual owner. Ask about the kitchen, the dog, the road — you'll get an answer from a human.
Local, hand-picked
We onboard hosts one at a time. No bait listings, no copy-pasted descriptions, no faceless aggregator drift.
Three steps from search to keys.
- 01
Browse
Filter by country, dates, and size. Every photo is the actual place — no stock shots.
- 02
Message the host
Send a question or a request before you book. Most hosts reply within a few hours.
- 03
Book with confidence
Pay securely through Stripe. The host gets paid, you get a confirmation, no middleman skim.
Run your rentals. Keep your margin.
HostHives is the operations layer behind the listings — calendar sync, guest messages, payouts, taxes — and a direct-booking page that brings repeat guests back to you instead of the OTA.
- Multi-channel calendar sync — your Airbnb, Booking and Vrbo bookings stay in one calendar.
- A direct-booking page with your own branding, photos and house rules.
- Per-tenant analytics, statements and guest CRM — built for owners running 1 to 100 units.

What owners told us in year one.
“I switched off Booking.com for half my units. The same calendar I used to lose 17% to, I now keep — and guests can actually reach me before they show up.
“The iCal sync just works. My wife runs the cleaning rota off the same calendar; we haven't had a double-booking in eight months.
“I came for the direct-booking page and stayed for the statements. End-of-year tax went from a weekend to an hour.
