For shortlet hosts in Lagos, Abuja and across Nigeria
Know which apartments are booked tonight, and who still owes you.
Hostvale keeps your bookings, payments, caution fees and guest messages in one place on your phone. No notebook, no double bookings, no “abeg, have you paid?”.
Free for one apartment. No card needed.
Three questions you answer every day, answered in seconds.
Most hosts run everything from WhatsApp chats and memory. That works until two guests book the same weekend, or a balance quietly never gets paid.
Every booking from WhatsApp, Instagram and Airbnb sits on one calendar. Hostvale refuses a second booking on the same dates.
Part payments, balances and caution fees, all tracked. Refund deposits with a clear breakdown of any damage.
Confirmations with your bank details, reminders, receipts and check-in links are written for you. One tap opens WhatsApp.
This is the app. On your phone, all day.
Real screens from Hostvale. Add it to your home screen and it opens like any other app, even on a weak network.
Bookings from WhatsApp, Instagram, Airbnb and Booking.com side by side.
What was paid, what is owed, and the caution fee, on one screen.
Income minus diesel, cleaning and repairs, for each apartment.
And everything around it.
Photos, amenities, live availability and prices. Guests request to book and you accept in one tap.
Guests fill their ID details and sign your house rules. The WiFi password unlocks after.
Hold, deduct with a reason, refund the rest, and send the guest the breakdown.
A cleaning job is created automatically. Send it to your cleaner on WhatsApp.
Spots one to three free nights between stays and writes a flash deal for you.
Returning guests are recognised by phone number. Mark VIPs, blacklist troublemakers.
Income minus diesel, cleaning and repairs. Occupancy and nightly rate for each apartment.
Manage units for owners? Send a monthly statement with your fee taken out.
Messages that write themselves.
Your bank details, the dates, the balance and the check-in link go into each message for you. Tap once and WhatsApp opens with it ready. Change anything you like, then send.

Questions hosts ask
Do I need a laptop?
No. Hostvale is made for your phone. Open hostvalehq.github.io in Safari (iPhone) or Chrome (Android) and add it to your home screen. It then opens like any other app.
Does it work with Airbnb and Booking.com?
Yes. Paste your Airbnb or Booking.com calendar link and Hostvale blocks those dates automatically. You also get a Hostvale calendar link to paste back into Airbnb, so their calendar shows your direct bookings too.
How do guests pay me?
Directly to your bank account, the way they already do. Hostvale never holds your money. Your bank details go into the confirmation message, and you record each payment as it arrives.
Do guests need to download anything?
No. Guests open the booking, check-in or review link you send on WhatsApp, in any browser.
Is my data private?
Each host can only ever see their own bookings, guests and money. This is enforced by the database itself, not just the app screens.
Run your shortlets like a hotel, from your phone.
Set up your first apartment in about two minutes.
