The problem
You do not need a cleaner marketplace. You need the workflow around your cleaners to stop breaking.
For most STR operators, cleaner management still lives across texts, spreadsheets, Venmo, and bookkeeping cleanup later. One guest checkout touches scheduling, cleaner confirmation, payout tracking, and property reporting, but most tools only handle one piece.
- New bookings don't automatically become cleaning jobs
- Back-to-back checkouts slip through the cracks
- Cleaner confirmation lives in a text thread
- No shared checklist so standards drift between cleaners
- Problems get reported by text with no photo trail
- Payouts and labor costs live in a spreadsheet you update later
- Turno charges you every single clean, forever
Today vs HostBooks
Today
PMS + texts + Venmo or Zelle + spreadsheet cleanup
Scheduling lives in one place, confirmation happens somewhere else, payouts sit in payment apps, and month-end visibility gets rebuilt later.
With HostBooks
Checkout → cleaner ops → payout tracking → books updated
The workflow stays intact from assignment through payout status, with cleaner cost tied back to the right property from the start.
How it works
From checkout to cleaner payout status, in one back-office workflow
HostBooks is built for the workflow after the booking is made and before the books are closed. Not just turnover scheduling. Checkout to books.
Booking syncs in
Paste your Airbnb, VRBO, or Booking.com calendar link once. HostBooks syncs every 15 minutes and creates a turnover job for each checkout — same-day turns flagged in red.
Cleaner gets a magic link
One SMS or email with a link. No app install, no login. They see their jobs, accept or decline, and tap to start when they arrive.
Checklist + photos on the phone
Per-property checklists with required photos. Cleaner reports problems with a photo and a note. You get the alert before the guest does.
Costs and payouts hit the books
Every completed clean becomes a ledger line with cleaner cost and payout status, tied to the property. Month-end reconciliation is already done.
Why operators choose HostBooks
Built for operators who already know who cleans their properties.
Auto-schedule from your calendars
iCal sync with Airbnb, VRBO, and Booking.com. New booking in, turnover job out. Back-to-back turns flagged automatically.
Cleaners work from their phone
Magic-link view with checklists, photo uploads, and problem reporting. No app, no login, works on any phone.
Exception queue instead of anxiety
Unassigned, unconfirmed, overdue, problem-reported — all surfaced in one place so nothing gets lost between texts.
Flat pricing, no per-clean tax
One monthly price per portfolio. No marketplace fee on every turn. You keep your cleaners and your margin.
Costs tied to the books
Every clean becomes a ledger line with cost and payout status. Property-level labor visibility, 1099-ready at year end.
Keep your PMS
HostBooks layers onto Hospitable, Guesty, Hostaway, or direct booking — no rip-and-replace.
Proof and product reality
Built for real host workflows, not marketplace theory
Most hosts do not need a cleaner marketplace. They already have cleaners they trust. What they need is a clean system for assignment, confirmation, payout tracking, and property-level labor visibility.
- iCal auto-sync from Airbnb, VRBO, Booking.com
- Same-day / back-to-back turn detection
- Magic-link cleaner view (no app install)
- Per-property checklists with required photos
- Problem reporting with photo trail
- Exception queue for unassigned / unconfirmed / overdue
- Cost and payout tracking tied to property books
A turnover is not just a scheduling event. It is a margin event. The workflow is not finished until the job cost is recorded, the payout is tracked, and the expense lands on the right property books.

Common questions
The questions hosts ask before changing their cleaner workflow.
How does the calendar sync work?+
Paste your Airbnb, VRBO, or Booking.com iCal export URL on each property. HostBooks checks it every 15 minutes and creates a turnover job for every checkout. Back-to-back turns are flagged automatically.
Does my cleaner need to install an app?+
No. Cleaners get a magic link by SMS or email. It opens in any phone browser and shows only their jobs. They accept, run the checklist, upload photos, and mark complete — no login, no download.
Do I need to replace my PMS?+
No. HostBooks layers on top of Hospitable, Guesty, Hostaway, or direct booking. Keep your PMS.
Is this a cleaner marketplace?+
No, and that's the point. HostBooks is for operators who already have cleaners they trust. No marketplace fee, no bidding, no commission leak.
How is this different from Turno?+
Turno charges per clean and pushes you toward their marketplace. HostBooks is flat-rate, bring-your-own-cleaner, and tied to your books. For a 10-door operator doing 3 turns per door per month, Turno runs ~$240/mo. HostBooks targets $19/mo flat.
What does a pilot include?+
60 days free. iCal auto-sync, magic-link cleaner view, checklists, photo reports, exception queue, payout tracking. All we ask is honest feedback and a quote if you like it.
Who is this best for?+
Owner-operators, co-hosts, and small PMs with roughly 2 to 50 units who already have trusted cleaners and want the ops workflow around them to stop breaking.
Final CTA
Stop managing turnovers in texts and spreadsheets.
If you already have a cleaner team, HostBooks gives you the operational and financial layer your PMS never really handled. Keep your PMS. Keep your cleaners. Run the back office in HostBooks.
