Hostaway Named 2025 Airbnb Preferred+ Software Partner

Hostaway has once again been named an Airbnb Preferred+ Software Partner in Airbnb’s recent release of Preferred Software Partners for 2025.

Earning Preferred+ status is a significant honor, one that recognizes our continued dedication to providing industry-leading connectivity, seamless integration and top-tier performance for vacation rental property managers across the globe.

Hostaway is proud to be recognized by Airbnb for going above and beyond — on technical excellence, reliability and innovation. It’s a distinction we hold in the highest regard and one that reflects the strength of our product, our people and our partnership with Airbnb.

What is an Airbnb Preferred Software Partner?

Airbnb’s Preferred Software Partner program recognizes and rewards best-in-class connectivity partners that have met or exceeded its requisite technical and performance requirements.

Each year, Airbnb releases its list of partners who have been designated a ‘Preferred’ or ‘Preferred+’ status to empower its hosts with property and channel management software partners who can help them optimize their operations and succeed in the short-term rental industry.

Each Preferred Software provider has undergone a comprehensive evaluation to ensure their compliance with Airbnb’s rigorous integration, technical, foundational and performance standards. They must also complete a data security and API quality review to be eligible for the program.

According to Airbnb, a Preferred connectivity partner is one that meets their requirements, while a Preferred+ partner — like Hostaway — has exceeded them, thus being awarded the highest tier of partnership status.

Why Hostaway Earned Airbnb Preferred Plus Status Again in 2025

Airbnb partners with companies like Hostaway because of our ability to provide end-to-end vacation rental software solutions that elevate the entire short-term rental industry.
