The Hosthub Integration That Turns Bookings from 200+ Channels into Rich Guest Experiences
Hosthub keeps your calendars, rates and bookings in sync across 200+ channels like Airbnb, Booking.com, Vrbo and Agoda. BetterSTR adds the guest-experience layer on top: a guest guidebook for every booking, plus Android TV displays inside the property, WiFi QR codes, guest verification, upsells and SMS, all driven live by your Hosthub rental and booking data.
By integrating BetterSTR with Hosthub, you can:
In Hosthub, open Settings and find the API keys section, then click Create new API key. It's self-service on every Hosthub account, no plan upgrade or approval needed. Paste it into BetterSTR under Integrations → Hosthub.
BetterSTR pulls your rentals and bookings automatically, then checks Hosthub every 10 minutes so new bookings, changes and cancellations flow through without you touching anything.
Every booking gets its own guidebook link, on the guest's phone and on the in-property Android TV, with WiFi QR codes, check-in details, upsells and booking-specific shortcodes.
BetterSTR checks Hosthub every 10 minutes for new bookings, changes and cancellations across all 200+ channels Hosthub syncs, so guides always match the calendar.
Show each guest's personalised guide on the TV in the rental: welcome screen, house info and local recommendations, driven by their Hosthub booking.
Guests scan and connect. No more typing passwords or 9 PM “what's the WiFi?” messages. Works in guides, on TVs and on printables.
Guides can display booking-specific details from Hosthub: confirmation code, party size, booking channel, check-in and check-out times and unit name.
Send each guest their unique guidebook link automatically, timed around the check-in and check-out dates synced from Hosthub.
Verify guest identity before arrival and offer local activities, late check-out and extras through the guide, earning commissions along the way.
Hosthub keeps 200+ channels in sync. BetterSTR adds in-property TV displays, WiFi QR codes, verification, upsells and SMS on top of that same booking data.
Self-service guides reduce repetitive guest questions by 70%. Guests find WiFi, check-in details and house info without messaging you.
Well-informed guests leave better reviews. Clear guides and a welcoming TV screen set expectations from the moment they walk in.
Earn commissions on local experiences and sell upsells like early check-in and late check-out directly through your digital guides.

Everything you need to connect Hosthub and get your guidebooks live.
To connect, open the Integrations page in the BetterSTR members area, choose Hosthub and paste your API key. You create the key yourself in Hosthub under Settings, in the API keys section, and can revoke it there at any time. BetterSTR validates the key, then syncs your rentals (name, location, check-in and check-out times, currency and timezone) along with your bookings, including guest name, email, phone, party size, dates and the channel the booking came from, whether that's Airbnb, Booking.com, Vrbo, Agoda or any of the 200+ channels Hosthub syncs.
From then on, BetterSTR checks Hosthub every 10 minutes for new bookings, changes and cancellations, so guides stay matched to your calendar without any manual syncing. API keys are available on every Hosthub account, with no plan upgrade or approval process.
