How It Works

Get your Hostaway AI Receptionist up and running in minutes.

1

Open the FONE app and add Hostaway to any agents that need it.

2

Configure the integration settings and integration prompt in the FONE app.

3

Your AI starts answering guest questions on chat and WhatsApp with live Hostaway reservation and property data.

Key Features

Everything your AI needs to handle Hostaway inquiries like a pro.

Booking Search

Your AI searches Hostaway reservations by guest name, email, phone, or booking reference — reading back stay dates, property, payment status, and guest notes.

Guest Answers

When a guest asks a question, your AI looks up their reservation and answers accurately using the data on their Hostaway booking.

Property Info

Your AI reads property listings, amenities, house rules, and operational notes — answering detailed property questions without a handoff.

Read-Only by Design

The Hostaway integration reads reservations and listings; it does not create, modify, or cancel bookings. Booking changes are handed to your team, and new bookings land on your connected calendar.

AI Receptionist for Hostaway Example Prompts

Copy and paste these prompts into your Hostaway AI Receptionist prompt box to get started quickly.

Example 1 — Reservation Lookup:
"When a guest calls, ask for their name or reservation ID. Look up their booking in Hostaway and confirm the property, check-in and check-out dates, and number of guests. Provide any relevant property-specific information."

Example 2 — Check-Out Procedures:
"If a guest asks about check-out, look up the property details in Hostaway and share the check-out time, any departure instructions (like where to leave keys, trash procedures), and confirm their check-out date."

Example 3 — Booking Modification:
"When a guest wants to extend their stay or change dates, check availability in Hostaway for the requested dates at the same property. If available, let them know the updated pricing and offer to modify the reservation."

Here's how your AI Receptionist for Hostaway handles a real conversation.

Caller

I booked a cabin for this weekend and I'm wondering if it has a hot tub.

AI Agent

I can check that! What name is the booking under?

Caller

David Chen.

AI Agent

Hi David! Your reservation is at Mountain Retreat Cabin for March 14-16, and yes — it has a private, heated hot tub on the back deck. The cabin also has a fireplace, full kitchen, and outdoor grill. Check-in is 4 PM. Anything else you'd like to know?

Frequently Asked Questions

Does it read all my OTA channels?
Yes. Hostaway consolidates reservations from Airbnb, Vrbo, Booking.com, and 200+ channels. Your AI reads the unified reservation regardless of where the guest booked.
Can it help with direct bookings?
Your AI can answer questions about a property and book a call or stay on your connected calendar (Google or Outlook). It does not create the reservation inside Hostaway.
How does it handle multi-property portfolios?
Your AI reads across your entire Hostaway portfolio — whether you manage 5 or 500 properties, it finds the right reservation and property record.
Does the lookup work on phone calls?
The Hostaway lookup runs on text channels — web chat, Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp. On a phone call your AI still answers, books on your connected calendar, and takes messages; the live Hostaway query is a chat-surface capability.
What if a guest needs to modify their booking?
Your AI reads the reservation and explains modification policies. Actual changes — date shifts, guest-count updates — are handed to your team; the integration does not write to Hostaway.
