Bookably

Bookably is a New Zealand accommodation marketplace built for holiday-home hosts and property managers. Listing is free, bookings carry zero commission, and guests pay no service fees, so the price travellers see is the price the host sets. Each listing carries one annual Plan that applies once it starts earning.

Bookably is built around AI that does the real work. The AI Host Assistant creates and manages listings conversationally, drafting descriptions and setting up pricing, payouts and calendars, while the Concierge helps guests search, plan and book. Hosts also get Host Studio guest guides, a loyalty programme that rewards returning guests, identity-verified bookings and secure Stripe payouts.

Hostaway users can connect their account and import their properties in minutes. Listings, calendars and bookings stay in sync both ways, and guest messages flow into the Hostaway inbox, so property managers keep working in Hostaway while their properties earn commission-free on Bookably.
