Saved me hours of answering the same "how do I use the coffee machine" texts at midnight. Worth every penny.
First property free let us test it risk-free. The direct booking site looks surprisingly professional.
Spanish translation occasionally sounds a bit stiff, but guests get it.
Solid cohost.
AI-synthesized perspectives grounded in live site inspection, pricing structure, and category benchmarks — presented as editorial viewpoints rather than individual customer testimonials.
A mobile welcome portal shared by QR code or link that answers check-in, WiFi, parking and house-rule questions from your verified details before guests even ask, in English or Spanish.
On a direct message the AI hands you a ready draft in seconds — approve or edit it, and nothing goes out under your name without your sign-off.
A live availability calendar, professional property showcase and direct booking requests on your own branded site, so you keep the roughly 15% that booking platforms take.
Your logo, colours and favicon, plus a free BnBuddy subdomain to start and your own custom domain on Pro for a fully branded experience.
Edit a detail once and every future guest sees the latest version — no more outdated printed binders with the wrong WiFi password.
BnBuddy is built for short-term rental owners who are tired of answering the same guest questions. Its core is an AI co-host that works on two fronts: a digital guidebook guests reach by QR code or link, where the assistant answers instantly and 24/7 from your verified property facts, and a drafting layer that turns direct messages into ready-to-approve replies. The guidebook side answers freely because it is constrained to facts you entered; the messaging side always routes a draft to your WhatsApp for a human sign-off before a guest sees anything.
The second pillar is revenue. Booking platforms take roughly 14–16% of every stay and keep the guest relationship in their system. BnBuddy gives owners a branded booking site of their own — logo, colours, custom domain, a professional property showcase, a live availability calendar synced from Airbnb and other channels via iCal, and built-in SEO — so properties can rank on Google independently. Bilingual English and Spanish ship by default, which suits cross-border hosting markets.
Getting started is deliberately lightweight: use a creation assistant to set up the property (or have it pull details from an existing Airbnb listing), customise the link and media, then share via WhatsApp, email or a QR code inside the property. BnBuddy also offers done-for-you co-hosting and premium management in select cities for owners who want a more hands-off arrangement.
Let the guidebook handle check-in, WiFi and house-rule questions automatically and reply to direct messages from an AI draft you approve.
Stand up a branded booking portal with a live calendar and direct requests so guests can book without the platform skimming commission.
Spin up a guidebook and booking site for a new listing in minutes using the creation assistant or by importing from Airbnb.
Offer guests instant bilingual answers about the property and the local area without being on call around the clock.
