Learn how to create and publish a new Airbnb listing directly from a property in Hospitable

If you already manage a property in Hospitable, you can create a brand-new Airbnb listing directly from that property without leaving the platform.

The listing creation process is guided and AI-assisted, helping you publish your listing quickly. This article explains the requirements and the steps involved.

If you have already created your listing on Airbnb, do not create it again in Hospitable (this will create a duplicate). Hospitable will automatically import new Airbnb listings within 2 hours, or you can manually trigger this via Settings ⚙️ → Channel connections → Edit → Re-sync. Learn how listing imports work.


Before You Start: Eligibility Requirements

To create an Airbnb listing from an existing property, all of the following must be true:

  1. Your Hospitable account must be connected to an Airbnb channel

    • You must have at least one Airbnb channel connected in the Settings ⚙️ > Channel connections page.

  2. You have at least 3 reviews (4★ or higher)

    • Reviews can come from Airbnb or Booking.com

    • Only reviews with 4 stars or higher are counted

  3. The property was created in Hospitable

    • Imported properties (from Airbnb) are not eligible

  4. The property must have a complete address

  5. The property cannot be muted

  6. The property is not already linked to an Airbnb listing

  7. Amenities are configured for the property

If any of these conditions are not met, the option to create an Airbnb listing will not appear.


Create an Airbnb Listing

Once all requirements are met, you can begin the listing creation process.

  1. Go to Hospitable Properties

  2. Select the property you want to list on Airbnb

  3. Click the List on Airbnb banner

  4. Click Continue

  5. Choose the Airbnb account where the listing will be created. This account will become the listing owner for this property.

  6. Click Continue

  7. Select a Cancellation Policy

    • Choose your preferred cancellation policy

    • Click Continue

  8. Optional: Enable a "New listing promotion

    • You can offer a promotion to help boost early bookings.

      • Enable New listing promotion to offer 20% off your first 3 bookings

      • Select the option if desired

      • Click Continue

  9. Choose when to go live

    • Decide whether to publish your listing immediately or later.

      • Go live now → Your listing will be published once setup is complete

      • Go live later → Review and finalize details before publishing

    • Select your preferred option

    • Complete the setup

And you're done! 🎉


Setting up co-hosts

Co-hosts cannot be added during the listing creation process in Hospitable.

Co-hosts must be added directly on Airbnb. Hospitable does not support assigning co-hosts during listing creation.

Important notes:

  • Do not create a separate Airbnb listing under another account to simulate a co-host setup

  • Co-host permissions must be configured within Airbnb itself


Troubleshooting

1. If you don’t see the option to create an Airbnb listing, check the following:

  • You have at least 3 reviews with 4★ or higher

  • The property address is complete

  • Amenities are configured

  • The property is not muted

  • The property was created in Hospitable (not imported)

2. If you encounter a trust check error during setup, it typically means there is an issue with your Airbnb account.

This may include:

  • Incomplete identity verification

  • Account standing issues

  • Airbnb security checks

These issues must be resolved directly on Airbnb before you can proceed.
