Choose a channel manager for your booking sites — Beds24 vs Hosthub vs RedAwning

List your booking sites and the jobs each link must do. Rates, open dates, bookings and cancellations can follow different rules. Check those rules before adding a tool. Check whether the offer is a full suite, extra channel links or managed help.

Beds24: what to consider

Allow time to set up room types, prices and channel links. Booking changes follow each channel’s rules. Do not assume you can add it as a separate layer to any other property tool. Read the Beds24 profile for its plans and requirements.

Hosthub: what to consider

Plan the move of old bookings with care. The first link does not import them. Date blocks made by hand are not booking imports. Check extra charges for website and booking-engine tools. Read the Hosthub profile for its plans and requirements.

RedAwning: what to consider

Check which owner or property-manager offer fits you. Compare the work done for you as well as channel coverage. Check what you pay, what is left out and how long the contract lasts. Read the RedAwning profile for its plans and requirements.

Common questions

Where should I edit listings when using Beds24, Hosthub and RedAwning?

Decide which system controls rates, open dates and listing text. Check the sync mode before editing both sides. One system may own prices while another owns photos. Write down where your team should make each change.

What should I check after connecting one of these tools?

Match each home to the right listing. Check future bookings and manual blocks, then look at dates and prices on each booking site. Go far enough to inspect the offer, but do not complete a test booking unless you intend to buy it.

Where do I edit Airbnb listing text with Beds24’s Everything sync?

Edit it in Beds24. Everything sync uses the text and photos from Beds24 in place of Airbnb’s descriptive content. Changes made only in Airbnb can be overwritten. Use View Content in Beds24 before choosing this mode to check what it will send.

Should I block maintenance dates in Airbnb or Hosthub?

Use Hosthub for those blocks when using its documented Airbnb connection. The guide says it receives actual bookings, not manual Airbnb blocks or inquiries. It gives the same advice for Booking.com. Check the dates on linked sites after making the block.

Does RedAwning’s distribution service replace my property software?

Its page for property managers says your property software stays in control. RedAwning handles the channel links. Check that it works with your current system. Agree where to edit rates and dates. Linking booking sites does not mean it takes over every property task.
