The Bookably Hosts app puts your listings, bookings, calendar and guest messages on your phone, and tells you the moment something needs you. It is free, and it works alongside the website rather than replacing it. Anything you do in one shows up in the other.
Getting the app
The app is on Google Play, for Android phones and tablets. Search for Bookably Hosts, or go straight to it:
Google Play and the Google Play logo are trademarks of Google LLC.
Signing in
Use the same account you use on the website. Sign in with your email address and password, or tap Continue with Google if that is how you set your account up.
Google sign-in happens inside the app, so you are not sent out to a browser and back. If you have two-factor authentication turned on, the app asks for your code just as the website does.
If you only ever signed in with Google and you now want a password as well, use Forgot your password? on the login screen to set one.
Turning on booking alerts
The first time you open the app you will see a card headed Never miss a booking. Tap Enable alerts, then allow notifications when your phone asks. A test notification arrives straight away so you know it worked.
Skipped it, or want to know exactly what we send and when? See Booking alerts and notifications.
What you can do in the app
- See and reply to guest messages
- Review and manage bookings
- Keep your calendar and pricing up to date
- Create and edit listings
- Check your reviews and earnings statements
- Ask the Host Assistant anything about hosting
On an iPhone
The iPhone app is coming soon. Until it lands, you can add the Host Assistant to your home screen, where it opens full screen and behaves much like the app:
- Open bookably.nz/host-app/ in Safari.
- Tap the Share button.
- Choose Add to Home Screen.
Need a hand
Email [email protected] and we will sort it out. Or just ask the Host Assistant, which can walk you through most things without you leaving the chat.
