Using Hospitable Connect To Import Your Listing(s)

When you join Hostshare and add your Airbnb listing, we want the process to be as simple and seamless as possible. That’s why we use a trusted tool called Hospitable Connect. It helps us quickly pull in the details of your existing Airbnb listing quickly and with accurate info!

We understand that when you connect your Airbnb account through this tool, it may feel like you’re giving away a lot of control. The permissions shown can look intimidating — but in reality, Hostshare only uses this connection to import listing information and nothing else.

When you connect your Airbnb listing through Hospitable Connect, we import:

This helps ensure your Hostshare listing accurately reflects your Airbnb listing — which benefits both you and other users searching for stays.

Importantly, the pricing and availability we pull are read-only. We simply display what’s currently set on Airbnb so that your calendar looks accurate. You remain 100% in control of those details on Airbnb.

Using Hospitable Connect does not allow Hostshare to:

Even though the permissions screen may look broad (this is due to how Airbnb and Hospitable structure the connection), we only access what we need — and nothing more.

When you click to connect through Hospitable, you may be shown a list of permissions that include calendar, pricing, messaging, etc. That’s because Hospitable is designed as a full property management tool, and Airbnb doesn’t allow more granular permissions.

But Hostshare does not use Hospitable that way.

We use it strictly for importing listing information during setup. That’s it. You are not giving Hostshare control over your Airbnb account.

Hospitable is one of the most respected tools in the short-term rental space. Thousands of hosts trust it to manage their listings, communications, and calendars across platforms like Airbnb, VRBO, and Booking.com. It’s secure, reliable, and widely used across the industry.

For us, it’s simply the best way to import your Airbnb listing without friction or copy/pasting.

We get it. Giving access to your Airbnb account is a big ask, and we take that responsibility seriously. If you’d prefer to manually add your listing, you’re always welcome to do so. And if you ever have questions about what’s being accessed, how it’s used, or want to disconnect, our support team is happy to walk you through it.

If you need help or want more info, reach out to [email protected] anytime — we’re here to help.
