How is Hostaway’s Plum Guide API Channel Manager Different

Plum Guide is a curated marketplace that lists roughly the top 3% of homes in each market. Every property goes through the Plum Test, a review the company describes as around 150 criteria covering design, comfort, location, cleanliness, and the guest experience, with local experts assessing each home. For a premium or design-led property, acceptance works as a quality signal that sets it apart from broader listing sites.

With Hostaway connected, your Plum Guide listing stays aligned with the rest of your channels. Availability, rates, and listing content sync between platforms, so a booking on one channel updates the others and reduces the risk of double bookings. You manage reservations, pricing, and calendars from a single dashboard rather than logging into Plum Guide separately.
