Airbnb, Booking, WhatsApp, SMS, email — the same queue. No middleman relaying your messages, no in-between format making the attachment disappear. Each message arrives tied to the right booking and the right room, and the thread stays readable from the first message to the last reply.
Without a direct link, every guest message goes through a middleman, loses its context, or ends up in a forgotten tab. Hostik keeps everything in one place, from the SMS to the Booking thread.
The guest writes from the Airbnb app at 10pm. The message lands in your inbox, tied to their booking and their room. You reply from Hostik — the reply leaves on the right channel, in your name, and stays on file.
The property's WhatsApp number gets a message. It's verified, filed in the right thread, and the conversation opens or continues. No third-party robot between the guest and you — the reply is immediate.
The SMS lands on your number. Same guarantees: verified message, clear tracking of its status (sent, received, read). The thread stays readable in the same inbox as your team chats and announcements.
No reselling of messages, no toll by volume. Your messages arrive live, neatly filed, and stay under your control.
Hostik sends and receives your SMS and WhatsApp messages directly. Every incoming message is verified before it's saved: an unverified message is turned away.
Each message keeps where it came from (app, SMS, WhatsApp, email), its direction (received or sent), and its status (sent, received, read). Everything is filed clearly, easy to find and to export — nothing buried in an unreadable format.
Three kinds of conversation live side by side without mixing: with guests, with your team internally, and general announcements. The same inbox shows all three without mixing up access rights or unread counts.
List, open, reply, send an announcement: it all goes through the same inbox, identical on computer and phone. You can prepare ready-made replies per channel, editable for each property, with nothing technical.
Many tools go through an outside messaging service to connect Airbnb and Booking to their screen. Hostik makes the link directly, and stays in control from end to end.
| On messaging | Hostik (direct link) | Middleman model |
|---|---|---|
| Receiving SMS / WhatsApp | Direct, verified, neatly filed | Goes through an outside service |
| Attachments | Kept as they are (photo, PDF) | Depend on the outside relay |
| Speed | The guest writes, you reply | One more detour per message |
| Who appears as the sender | Your property's own number | A number shared by the middleman |
| Tracking each message | Sent · received · read | Varies by the middleman |
| Kinds of conversation | Guests · team · announcements | Often guests only |
