Short-term rental and aparthotel teams run guest messaging, reviews, cleaning, smart-lock access, and climate control across four to six disconnected tools, none of which talk to each other or to the PMS. Guest context is scattered, replies are slow, and back-of-house work is coordinated by hand.
Guestway is a guest-experience and operations layer that sits on top of the operator's existing PMS. It brings guest messaging, reviews, cleaning, access, climate control, and a branded guest app into one workspace, without replacing the PMS that handles reservations and channels.
Guestway connects to the PMS through a two-way API sync and pulls in listings, reservations, and guests. A unified AI inbox merges Airbnb, Booking.com, WhatsApp, SMS, email, and social DMs into one thread with suggested replies and translation across 30 languages. Event-driven automations fire around booking, check-in, and check-out; cleaning is auto-scheduled and photo-verified; smart locks issue per-reservation door codes; thermostats follow occupancy; and a white-label guest app handles self check-in, ID verification, and upsells billed through Stripe.
Short-term rental operators, aparthotels, and hotel groups, from a handful of units to multi-thousand-room portfolios, that want to keep their PMS but consolidate guest communication and back-of-house operations in one place.
