Our take

Hostaway is an all-in-one vacation rental software solution designed to help property owners streamline and grow their businesses. Hostaway’s product provides property owners a way to present their services to the wider market, making them available on different platforms through the use of its multi-integration software.

What makes Hostaway unique is its comprehensive property management ecosystem. Beyond just listings, the platform allows clients to manage their properties across a wide range of platforms, including Airbnb, Booking.com, and HomeAway. It also integrates with other key services like Stripe, Expedia, and Tripadvisor, offering customisable solutions that support the diverse needs of vacation rental hosts.

It also had impressive growth over the past five years, with revenue doubling to tripling each year. Alongside this, it raised substantial funding in 2024 to fuel its expansion across Europe and accelerate product development.
