Hosthub (Syncbnb) Review: Channel Manager & Booking Sync for STRs (2026)
Overview
Hosthub (formerly Syncbnb) is a dedicated channel manager that focuses on one thing: keeping your availability and rates perfectly synced across 200+ OTAs. It does not try to be a full PMS — there is no inbox, no task management, no owner portal.
- But for hosts who already have those tools and just need reliable channel sync at a low price ($7/property/month), Hosthub is a compelling, focused solution.
At a glance
- 200+ OTA connections including major platforms and regional ones competitors often miss.
- Real-time sync prevents double bookings across all connected channels.
- Lightweight and focused — does one thing well without PMS feature bloat.
- Hosts who want a clean UI
- No guest messaging, task management, or owner portal — you need separate tools for these.
- Not a full PMS — hosts wanting an all-in-one platform should look elsewhere.

More PMS reviews
- AirHost
AirHost is a Japan/Singapore‑based all‑in‑one hospitality platform that combines PMS, channel manager, booking engine, contactless check‑in, smart‑lock automation and messaging into one cloud system for hotels and vacation rentals. It centralizes OTAs (Airbnb, Booking.com, Vrbo, Agoda, Expedia etc.), automates room assignment, payments and 10+ triggered messages per booking, and supports IoT locks and self check‑in kiosks. Pricing is quote‑based through AirHost ONE HMS plans, but Capterra lists paid plans starting around US$200/month with no free version or trial, making it best for professional operators rather than casual hosts.
- Guestflow
Guestflow is an automation and collaboration layer for short-stay businesses that unifies ops, guest messaging, tasking and a guest experience app on one platform. It plugs into your PMS/channel manager (e.g., Beds24, Tokeet, Hostfully) and connects email, SMS, WhatsApp and webhooks so you can design custom workflows for booking confirmations, check-in instructions, upsells, team notifications and review requests. Tiered per-unit pricing ranges from £10/unit for 1–10 units down to £2/unit (~$2.67) for 300+ units, with bulk discounts up to 80%. Strong for PMs that want flexible automation and a central hub rather than yet another standalone AI inbox.
