Keep Hostaway. Add Ersona.
Hostaway stays your system of record and your channel manager. Ersona works on top of it: it reads the reservation and the listing, applies your instructions, replies on the thread the guest used, sells the extra and creates the work that follows.

Airbnb and Booking.com messages relayed into Hostaway are handled like any other conversation, with the booking source visible to your team.

Of course — I’ve asked housekeeping to bring two towels and a crib to Room 21. They’ll be with you within the hour.
