We’ve made huge strides this year in our quest to cement our position as the most useful, reliable and friendly product (and company) for hosts.

Our mission at Uplisting is to make it as easy as possible for you to maximize revenues, wow your guests and optimize operations. Our intention for each feature release is to get you closer to that goal.

Smart Rates for Airbnb and Booking.com

Airbnb and Booking.com are the two most important booking sites for our members, however, they both deal with commission in very different ways. Booking.com charge the host and Airbnb charge the host and the guest.

Uplisting Smart Rates for Airbnb and Booking.com

Uplisting’s Smart Rates solves the issue by automatically calculating the commission charged when syncing instantly with each booking site.

Highly flexible instant rates update

Bulk rate update

We introduced bulk rate update to allow you change rates for multiple (or single) days and property’s over large or small date ranges.

For example you can update the rates for Friday’s and Saturday’s for from now until the end of January 2018. These rates will then sync instantly with Airbnb and Booking.com — with commission included.

Your Uplisting calendar will always display your ‘take home’ rate so you will know how much you will earn from a booking.

Airbnb Instant Sync for Instant Booking

Airbnb Instant booking is now one of the most important factors determining the search ranking of your listing. At the same time, rejecting a booking due to a conflict with another booking site results in a fee of up to $100 and will negatively affect your search ranking.

Airbnb Instant Sync

Uplisting Instant Sync for Airbnb allows you to switch instant booking on with confidence. Rather than wait up to 3 hours for Airbnb to sync with other booking sites via iCAL, Uplisting will update your Airbnb calendar every 5 minutes.

Other benefits of Airbnb Instant Sync include:

  1. Set your prices on Uplisting and sync instantly to Airbnb (and Booking.com).
  2. Airbnb bookings are synced to your Uplisting calendar every minute.
  3. Automated messages and a global inbox (coming soon)

Connect the TripAdvisor family to Uplisting

🔑 Flipkey, 🏠 Housetrip,🌴 holidaylettings and 🇪🇸 Niumba

Did you know there are 630,000 vacation rentals on TripAdvisor? Well… each one can now sync with Uplisting.

What’s next?

We’re already hard a work building and testing our next major features. Those are:

  1. Automated messages
    Bespoke messages automatically sent before a guest checks in, during their stay or after a guest has checked out.
  2. Unified inbox
    An inbox for conversations with all of your guests across all booking sites.
  3. Mobile app
    We know that you need a solution on the go and think you’re going to love our plans for the Uplisting mobile app.

Interested but we don’t have all the features you need yet?

All of our features are prioritised and shaped with our member’s input. Send us a message with your basic requirements and we’ll provide a special offer to protect you from all price increases for 12 months.
