Distributed, managed & optimized on 25+ platforms
Get listed onHosting feels overwhelming — until it doesn't.
No idea where to start
Listings, photos, pricing, platforms — every guide says something different and none of it is for your city.
Legal & regulation questions
Permits, tourist tax, night caps, registration numbers — getting it wrong costs real money.
Worried about setup costs
Furniture, photos, locks, linens — how much do you really need before your first booking?
Pricing feels like a guess
What should you charge? When? Static prices = empty weeks or money left on the table.
Too many platforms
Airbnb, Booking.com, VRBO, direct site — which ones matter on day one, and how do you sync them?
Nervous about guests
Check-ins, complaints, damage, midnight messages — what do you actually say, and when?

Yes — Hostmizer is built for new hosts as much as experienced ones. Start with our free tools, guides and checklists. When you're ready to go live, you'll have everything you need.
Creating your Hostmizer account is free. Calculators, the regulations checker, listing audit, templates and community access are all included. You only pay if you opt in to full management later.
Use our free regulations checker for your city — we track rules across many major short-term rental markets worldwide, including registration numbers, tourist tax, night caps and licensing. If it's not allowed, we'll tell you straight.
If you're a long-term tenant with rental arbitrage permission from your landlord, or you manage a property for someone else, you can absolutely host. We'll guide you through what's needed.

From first listing to full calendar.
Real hosts who started with Hostmizer — and never looked back.
“I went from €1,800 to €2,600 per month in the first 90 days. The dynamic pricing alone paid for the service ten times over.”
“I was spending 8 hours a week on messages. Now it's zero — and my guests get faster, better answers than when I did it myself.”
“My listing manager spotted a local marathon weekend I had priced normally. That one tip earned me an extra €800. Hostmizer pays for itself.”
