What is Hostaway?
All-in-one property management & channel management platform for short-term rentals
Hostaway is an all-in-one property management and channel management platform for short-term rental operators, covering listing distribution, guest messaging, automations, and reporting.
Why Hostaway operators use inkSTR
Hostaway centralizes your channels, messaging, and operations. InkSTR turns that operational data into an organic acquisition channel: automated articles grounded in your actual listings and in what your guests really ask.
The result is content that is specific to your portfolio and your markets — the kind that ranks in Google, gets cited by AI search engines, and routes travelers to your direct booking flow.
