You can connect your Airbnb account to Hosto in under a minute using Airbnb's secure OAuth flow. Hosto never sees or stores your Airbnb password — you log in to Airbnb directly and approve access.
Make sure you have:
An active Airbnb host account with at least one listing
Your Airbnb login credentials handy
If you're setting up Hosto for the first time:
At the Connect Airbnb step, click Connect with Airbnb
You'll be redirected to Airbnb's website
Log in to your Airbnb account and click Authorize
You'll be redirected back to Hosto with your account connected
Already past the setup flow? No problem.
Go to Accounts in the main navigation
Click Connect Airbnb
Log in to Airbnb and authorize Hosto the same way
You can create your Hosto account using Sign in with Airbnb on the signup page. This creates your Hosto account and connects your Airbnb account in one step.
Tip: Signing up with Airbnb is the fastest way to get started — account creation and connection happen together.
Once connected, Hosto imports your listings (descriptions, photos, amenities, settings), reservations, and message threads. The initial import takes 2-5 minutes depending on how many properties you have.
A progress indicator shows what's being imported. You can explore Hosto while the import runs in the background.
Connect as many Airbnb accounts as you need. Simply repeat the connection process for each account. Properties from all accounts appear in one unified dashboard, so you manage everything from a single place.
