Calendar sync for Airbnb hosts: Smoobu + Google Calendar
Stop copy-pasting reservations. Two-way sync ties bookings to your cleaners and your Sunday night.
Virtual Host AI replies to your Airbnb and Booking.com guests in 30 seconds — in their language. You only see the messages that really need you. Plug into your Smoobu channel manager in one click and go back to your life.
Built on Gemini. Trained on your own property guides. Tuned to know when to step back and let you handle things personally.
Answers check-in, Wi-Fi, parking, late-night questions — in the guest's language, using your apartment guide as the source of truth.
If you reply — even once, from any device — the AI backs off for an hour. Guests never see two voices.
When there's a gap after checkout, we draft an extra-night offer at your rate — and ping you for approval before sending. Nothing goes out without your OK.
Reservations pushed to Google Calendar in real-time, with cleaning windows, apartment colors, and blocking back to Smoobu.
Angry, urgent, or off-guide — you get a Telegram card with one-tap pause, solve, or reply.
Upload your PDF house manual — Wi-Fi, door codes, check-in times, house rules extracted automatically.
Three problems every short-term rental host knows. Here's what Virtual Host AI does about them.
It's 2 AM. A guest messages your Airbnb inbox: "What's the Wi-Fi password?" Again. You wake up. You type it out. This is the fifth time today.
You sleep. Your AI co-host sent the password in 30 seconds — in German, because the guest wrote in German.
You know extra-night extensions are money. But it's 9 AM, your guest checks out tomorrow, and you forgot to offer. Again. That's €75 left on the table — classic short-term rental upsell missed.
Your phone buzzes: "Sarah has 3 free nights after checkout. Offer one extra night at €75?" You tap Approve. €75 lands.
Airbnb inbox. Booking.com inbox. WhatsApp with the cleaner. Google Calendar. Three browser tabs. Two phones. One headache.
Everything in one place. Your channel manager, guest chat, cleaning schedule — all synced. You see the 5 things that need you. Nothing else.
Based on how our own 12 apartments ran — before and after we switched the automation on.
We're a young product. Here's the actual state of the platform — no inflated stats.
Built by Prabin & Matthias — two Vienna-based hosts managing 12 short-term rental apartments across the city. Every feature ships from a real 2 AM "why isn't this automated yet?" moment in our own operation.
Read our story →Every design decision answers one question: does this make the host feel more in control, or less? The moment you reply to a guest — from the web, from your phone, from any channel — the AI steps back for an hour. Guests never see two voices. You stay in charge of the conversations that matter.
Read the philosophy →Every escalation arrives as a card with one-tap actions. Pause the AI, mark solved, or swipe-reply to the guest — all without opening a laptop. Run five apartments from a café, a train, or your kitchen.
See the workflow →I built the first version because I was tired of answering "What's the Wi-Fi?" at 2 AM between my day job and managing 12 apartments with Matthias. It worked for us. Turns out it works for thousands of hosts on Smoobu — which is why we made it a product.
Practical guides, revenue math, behind-the-scenes product posts, and explainers for the AI co-host space. All articles include a "Summarize with ChatGPT" shortcut.
