**The problem it solves** Short-term rental hosts managing multiple properties spend hours each day responding to guest messages, manually coding smart locks, and chasing cleaners. These tasks are repetitive but require coordination across several unconnected tools. **What Hostvana does** Hostvana is an STR automation platform that consolidates AI-powered guest messaging, smart lock code management, and cleaning coordination into a single dashboard, with integrations to Beds24, Guesty, and OwnerRez. **How it works** An AI messaging system trained on STR hosting knowledge auto-responds to over 90% of guest inquiries, covering check-in details, property questions, and local recommendations, escalating only messages that need human review. Smart lock automation generates unique, time-limited door codes per reservation that activate before check-in and expire after checkout, with early check-in adjustments handled automatically. Cleaners are notified based on reservation schedules without manual coordination. Calendar sync through Beds24 manages availability and pricing across hundreds of booking channels. **Who it's for** Individual STR hosts and small property management companies in the US who want to reduce daily operational overhead across messaging, access control, and turnover coordination without adopting an enterprise-grade PMS.
