Hospitable Home Dashboard

Learn how to use the Home Dashboard to monitor important issues, discover opportunities, manage upcoming reservations, and stay up to date with the latest Hospitable news and events.

Written by Tim Parry

The Home Dashboard brings together the most important information from across Hospitable into a single view, helping you quickly understand what’s happening in your business.

Rather than jumping between pages, the Home Dashboard highlights issues that need your attention, surfaces opportunities to improve your setup or increase revenue, keeps you informed about the Hospitable community, and gives you visibility into upcoming reservations.

Many improvements are planned for the Home Dashboard over the coming months as we continue making it the central place to run your business.


Needs Attention

The Needs Attention section highlights important issues that require action. These notifications are grouped together at the top of your dashboard so you can quickly see what needs resolving.

Examples include:

  • Channel account disconnected

  • Smart device account disconnected

  • VRBO delayed

  • Declined Hospitable subscription / Payment failed

  • Security deposit not collected

  • Smart device subscription expired

Selecting a notification takes you directly to the relevant page so you can resolve the issue. Notifications automatically disappear once the underlying issue has been resolved.

The Needs Attention section is currently available to Beta users. Head to Settings > Preferences > Beta features to opt-in


Check-ins & Check-outs

The Check-ins & Check-outs section gives you a quick overview of upcoming guest arrivals and departures.

Use it to monitor:

  • Today's arrivals

  • Upcoming departures

  • Guest details

  • Reservation status

Select any reservation to jump directly into the Inbox and continue managing that guest.


Opportunity Center

The Opportunity Center helps you discover ways to improve your setup, increase revenue, and get more value from Hospitable.

Unlike Needs Attention, opportunities are not urgent issues or broken workflows. They are recommendations for things you could do next to improve your business.

For example, the Opportunity Center may suggest ways to:

  • Increase revenue with early check-in, late check-out, or custom upsells

  • Offer Trip Insurance to eligible guests

  • Set up a Direct booking website

  • Connect a smart lock

  • Improve occupancy with Dynamic Pricing

  • Automate guest communication with AI Auto Reply

  • Improve review workflows with Review Rules

Opportunities may be shown based on your property setup, connected channels, recent guest questions, reservation activity, or other signals in your account.

For example, if guests have recently asked about early check-in, Hospitable may suggest enabling an early check-in upsell. If a property is receiving most bookings from one channel, Hospitable may suggest connecting another channel to help reduce reliance on a single source of reservations.

Each opportunity is designed to be actionable. Selecting the call-to-action will take you to the relevant setup flow or page in Hospitable.

Dismissing opportunities

You can dismiss or snooze opportunities you’re not interested in.

Some dismissed opportunities may reappear later if the recommendation becomes relevant again. For example, if guests continue asking about early check-in, Hospitable may suggest the early check-in upsell again in the future.

The Opportunity Center is in the process of being rolled out over the next week. If you don't see it on your account yet, check back in in a few days

Frequently Asked Questions

Why have the dashboard notifications moved?

Important notifications are now grouped into the Needs Attention section, making them easier to find and manage than individual floating banners.

What is the difference between Needs Attention and Opportunity Center?

Needs Attention highlights issues that may require action because something in your existing setup needs to be fixed or reviewed.

Opportunity Center highlights recommendations that could help you improve your setup, increase revenue, or get more value from Hospitable.

Are opportunities urgent?

No. Opportunities are recommendations, not urgent issues. You can review them when you have time and choose which ones are relevant to your business.

Can I dismiss opportunities?

Yes. You can dismiss or snooze opportunities you’re not interested in. Some opportunities may reappear later if they become relevant again.

Can I dismiss notifications?

Yes. Notifications can be dismissed, although some may reappear if the underlying issue still exists.

Why do I see different opportunities for different properties?

Different properties may have different setups, channels, guest questions, reservation activity, or revenue opportunities. Hospitable may show different recommendations based on what appears most relevant for each property.

Will the dashboard continue to evolve?

Yes. We’re continuing to improve the Home Dashboard with new functionality and additional sections over time, helping make it the central place to manage your business.
