INTEGRATIONS
NEW — ESTI Bulgaria: Automatic Guest Registration
Managing properties in Bulgaria? Hostify now integrates directly with ESTI (Единна система за туристическа информация), Bulgaria's National Tourism Register — so guest data is reported to ESTI automatically, straight from your check-in flow. No more manual entry in the government portal.
Connect your ESTI account right from the App Center → ESTI Bulgaria
Your registered accommodation places are pulled in automatically — just map each to a Hostify listing
New ESTI Bulgaria preset on the MrGG check-in form auto-fills every field ESTI requires (name, gender, date of birth, document, and EGN / foreign number)
Guest data is submitted to ESTI automatically the moment a guest completes check-in

NEW — Holidu: Cancellation Policies Now Manageable Directly in Hostify
Holidu cancellation policies can now be fully managed from the Hostify side. Open the Holidu child listing and go to Settings → Cancellation policies to add the policy you want — Hostify sends the configured policy directly to Holidu.
NEW — New Property Deal (NPD) for Booking.com
New Property Deal for Booking.com properties can now be added directly from Hostify when you clone a new property.
Eligibility criteria — for the NPD to be successfully applied on the channel, the property must meet all of the following:
Active and Open Bookable — fully active on Booking.com
Created less than one year ago
Zero bookings — no existing reservations
Not previously opted into NPD
INBOX
NEW — Booking.com Request to Book (RTB) 2.0
We've built support for Booking.com's Request to Book (RTB) 2.0 in Hostify. Alongside Inquiries, eligible properties can now receive Requests to Book — guests pre-authorize payment upfront, and approving a request instantly confirms the reservation and captures payment, so there's no more waiting on the guest to come back and finish booking.
Both show up in the inbox with distinct tags — Inquiry vs. Request to book — so it's easy to tell them apart
RTB only applies to properties that meet Booking.com's eligibility criteria (location, payment model, etc.) — everyone else will keep seeing Inquiries as usual
CALENDAR
NEW — Allow RTB Beyond Availability Window
A new toggle — Allow RTB Beyond Availability Window — has been added to the parent listing's Settings → Policies tab. It lets you extend your availability window beyond Airbnb's standard max-days-notice limit.
REPORTING
NEW — Reporting AI Assistant
A new AI-powered chat panel on the Reporting dashboard lets you ask about your revenue, occupancy, KPIs, and per-listing or per-channel breakdowns in plain language — in any language — and get back answers with charts and tables.
Context-aware: it can troubleshoot discrepancies, explain exactly how a number was calculated, drill into the reservations behind a total, and compare against legacy reports
Admins turn it on per account under Integrations → Hostify AI → Reporting Assistant
Visible to Administrator, Manager, and Revenue Manager roles
OWNER STATEMENTS
NEW — VAT on Channel Commission
Owner contracts can now include VAT on the channel commission directly in Hostify.
New contract option — VAT extra on Channel Commission, included or excluded, at a custom %
If the channel already sends the commission VAT with the booking, the extra is skipped for those reservations — no double VAT. Mixed channels in one statement are fine (Booking.com rows get the extra, Airbnb rows keep what the channel sent)
The statement line shows a proper net / VAT / gross split
Reservations aren't touched — this is statement-side only
Independent of the management-commission VAT settings; existing contracts stay as they are until the option is switched on
NEW — Net Revenue, Gross Costs: New "Revenue Only" VAT Option
Until now, the VAT setting in the contract applied to revenue and deductions together, so clients who needed net accommodation but gross costs couldn't match their statements. Now there's a third option.
A third option — Net excl. VAT – revenue only — added to the two existing contract dropdowns: Commission base VAT and VAT pass through
In this mode, revenue stays net, while costs (transaction fee, channel commission) are deducted as they are — gross, with their own VAT
The management company and the owner side are independent — each sets their own; one can be on "revenue only" while the other stays net or gross
The Management Commission line itself doesn't change — it keeps following its own gross/net setting
Default stays as today — existing contracts are unchanged until the option is switched on
AUTOMATION
NEW — Mass Auto-Message
Send a one-time automated message to your guests — for emergencies, mass notifications, and more. Setup is quick and straightforward.
