AI-powered direct booking machines for STR hosts
Turn missed Airbnb inquiries into direct, commission-free bookings
Hostly Reply builds and runs your AI-Powered Direct Booking Marketing Machine, answers guest questions, and drives them to book direct—so you rely less on OTAs and more on your own brand.
No dev work. Launch in 7 days.
- Typical hosts add 15–35% more direct bookings within 60 days
- AI trained on your listings, house rules, and neighborhood
- We handle setup, copy, and optimization—just send your links
Trusted by forward-thinking short‑term rental hosts and boutique managers
Most guests want to book direct, but your website isn’t built to sell 24/7
Right now, your Airbnb and OTA listings do all the heavy lifting. When curious guests land on your site, they hit a static page, generic contact form, or clunky booking engine—and bounce back to the OTAs.
- Slow responses to questions about parking, check‑in, or amenities
- Guests compare your site to polished OTA pages and lose trust
- You pay commissions on stays you could have owned directly
Meet your AI concierge that never sleeps
We build your AI agent who greets every visitor, answers their questions instantly, and guides them to confirm a direct booking—without you lifting a finger.
15–35% more direct bookings
By converting warm traffic from your OTA listings and social.
OTA commission savings
Keep more of every booking and reinvest into your brand.
How Hostly Reply works
From curious visitor to confirmed direct booking in 3 steps
We install your AI concierge once, then continuously tune it for more direct reservations—just like a top-performing sales agent.
Step 1
We train your AI on your listings
You send your Airbnb/OTA links, house rules, FAQs, and special policies. We feed everything into a private AI brain tailored to your properties.
Step 2
We install your AI booking widget
A simple script drops your concierge onto your site. It answers questions, collects emails, and routes ready‑to‑book guests straight into your engine or PMS.
Step 3
We optimize for more direct stays
We review transcripts, tune prompts, and A/B test scripts so your AI sounds like you—and steadily moves more guests off OTAs and into direct reservations.
More direct bookings, fewer messages in your inbox
Hostly Reply is built specifically for short‑term rentals—not generic chatbots. That means smarter answers, higher guest trust, and better conversion into paid nights.
- Average 30–50% of AI conversations include a booking intent signal
- Guests get < 3 second response times, day or night
- Hosts reclaim hours per week previously spent answering repeat questions
“Within six weeks, 28% of our stays were coming in direct. Guests love how fast they get answers, and we love not paying OTA fees on those nights.”

Questions from STR hosts
FAQ: Before you hand the keys to an AI
We’ve built Hostly Reply AI specifically for short‑term rentals, so we’ve likely handled a scenario similar to yours.
How fast can I get my AI booking machine live?
Most hosts go live in 7–10 days. Once we have your listings, brand guidelines, and booking engine details, we train your AI, install the widget on your site, and run quality checks before launch.
Will the AI give wrong answers or promise things I don’t offer?
We tightly control the knowledge your AI can access and add guardrails so it only responds based on your approved information. You can review and update that content any time, and we continuously monitor transcripts to improve accuracy.
Do I need a custom website or developer?
No. If you already have a site, we add a small script—similar to installing analytics or a chat tool. If you don’t have a site, we can recommend simple templates that work well with DirectStay AI.
Can DirectStay AI integrate with my PMS or channel manager?
In most cases, yes. We already work with common STR tools and can also start with a lighter integration—collecting and qualifying leads before handing off to your existing systems.
What if it doesn’t increase my direct bookings?
During the first 30 days, we track engagement, lead volume, and booking-intent conversations. If we don’t see a clear, data-backed path to more direct revenue, you can cancel before your second month with no penalties.
