The Property Managers Dashboard is designed to make it easy for property management companies to offer Hostshare to their owners, for free, while creating a new revenue stream and keeping bookings simple to manage.
If your owners have been asking about Hostshare, this dashboard answers the key questions:
What’s in it for me as a manager?
How hard is it to manage bookings?
How do I stay in control of calendars and guest communication?
What Is the Property Managers Dashboard?
The dashboard is a centralized tool that allows property managers to:
Invite owners to Hostshare at no cost to them
Manage owner listings and calendars
Receive booking notifications
Send guest check-in instructions
Earn commission when owners travel
Why Hostshare Is Free for Your Owners
Normally, Hostshare costs $395/year per owner. Through the Property Managers Dashboard:
Owners get 21 travel nights upfront when they join
They save 70–90% on travel compared to booking retail
You can offer Hostshare as a value-add perk, not an expense
This creates a win-win:
Owners travel for far less
You strengthen owner retention
You earn commission when they travel
Getting Started: Manager Signup
Complete the quick signup flow for your company
Create a custom invite code (usually your company name)
This code permanently links all invited owners to your management account
Once set up, all owners who join through your link are tied to your dashboard automatically.
Adding Owners
You can add owners in two ways:
Option 1: Add Individually
Enter owner name and email
Add their Airbnb listing link
Add their calendar (iCal) link from Airbnb or your PMS
Option 2: Upload via CSV
Ideal for onboarding 10+ owners at once
Saves time for larger portfolios
Inviting Owners to Hostshare
After adding an owner:
Send their Hostshare invite directly from the dashboard
Owners review and accept the Hostshare Share Pledge
Upon acceptance, they receive 21 banked travel nights immediately
The pledge ensures:
Instant booking participation
Fair use of shared nights
A consistent experience across the platform
What Owners Receive in Their Invite
Each owner’s invite email includes:
A direct signup link that bypasses the paywall
Their Airbnb listing link
Their calendar link
Your property management contact information
This ensures:
Owners are correctly set up
Booking notifications route to you
Listings stay synced
Once an owner completes setup, their status moves from Pending to Active in your dashboard.
Calendar Sync & Setup
After an owner goes live:
Copy the Hostshare iCal link
Paste it into your property management software
Confirm the calendar is exporting correctly
This step prevents double bookings and is tracked in your Management To-Dos.
Managing Owner Travel & Earning Commission
When owners travel using Hostshare:
Their trips appear in the Trips tab
Each trip shows how much the owner saved
You set your own commission rate
Commission is:
Not charged during the stay
Back-charged after travel using a report you generate
Example:
Owner saves $2,000 on a trip
You charge a $300 commission
Owner still saves significantly — and you earn new revenue
Managing Bookings on Owner Properties
When a Hostshare booking is made:
You receive an email notification
Dates are automatically blocked on the calendar
Guest details appear in the dashboard
You can:
View traveler information
Send check-in instructions directly from the booking
Be included on all guest communication for visibility
Management To-Dos
The dashboard highlights important actions, including:
Confirming calendar exports for new listings
Reviewing and managing new bookings
Sending check-in instructions
This keeps everything organized and prevents missed steps.
Summary
The Property Managers Dashboard makes Hostshare:

Easy to manage
Profitable for managers
Extremely valuable for owners
It turns unused nights into a travel perk owners love — while giving property managers a new, ongoing revenue stream.
