Introducing Advanced Travel (Beta) Coming Soon!
Hostshare Advanced lets you plan trips up to 6 months in advance—perfect for birthdays, weddings, holidays, and bucket-list adventures.
We still believe in last-minute travel built on trust and shared availability—but now, you can plan ahead while still protecting your highest-revenue nights.
From the beginning, our goal has been simple but tricky:
How do we give you, as both a host and a traveler, the best of both worlds—
✅ Enough availability to travel in advance
✅ While only sharing nights that would likely go unbooked anyway
With Hostshare Advanced, we’ve finally cracked that balance.
How It Works
Opt In = Book in Advance
You unlock Advanced Travel by opting in and setting your blockout calendar. Once enabled, your property can receive bookings up to 6 months ahead—while protecting the nights you choose to keep private.
Travel Further, Stay Longer
You can book trips up to 7 nights long, slightly longer than the 5-night limit for last-minute stays.
Use All Your Nights, Your Way
Your travel nights can be used for either advanced or last-minute bookings—no splitting or separate pools.
Save Big, Pay a Little
A small booking fee applies only when you book a stay using Hostshare Advanced. The fee is based on your trip savings compared to a similar Airbnb booking and helps sustain the network, ensure fair distribution of bookings, and keep Hostshare growing—while you still save significantly on every trip.
Hosts Still Come First
A Generous Number of Blockout Days
Hosts receive up to 270 blockout days per year, based on their average nightly rate.
Blockout dates are prorated in your first year, with the full allotment available the
following year.
Smart AI-Powered Recommendations
We’ve partnered with Wheelhouse™ to bring AI-driven insights into your Hostshare calendar.
Wheelhouse analyzes real-time market data, local events, and booking activity to recommend which nights should be protected as high-value.
Each date receives a Bookability Score™ (0–100) that predicts how likely it is to get booked:
High (80–99): Peak-value nights—ideal for paying guests
Medium (50–79): Balanced nights—share or keep, depending on your goals
Low (0–49): Off-peak dates—perfect for Hostshare travel
Manual Control—Within Smart Limits
You can manually edit, add, or remove blockout dates, as long as you maintain the required 7-day minimum availability window.
Blockouts can be adjusted for 7 days after setting them; after that, the next 90 days lock, but future dates remain editable.
External Bookings Automatically Count
Any existing reservations or blocked dates synced from external calendars (Airbnb, VRBO, PMS, etc.) are automatically included in your blockout total and can’t be edited.
This ensures you’re not adding six months of extra nights beyond what’s actually open.
🛠️ Built for the Network
Hostshare’s model stays the same:
Unused nights.
Shared fairly.
Booked by real hosts like you.
Advanced Travel just adds smarter planning, fairer automation, and AI-assisted control—helping you balance earning and exploring.
