The record

Product: Hostcation builds short-term-rental hosts a direct-booking website from an existing listing, with a host dashboard.
Site creation: The homepage says its AI uses listing photos, reviews and amenities to build a site that can be live in under an hour.
Calendar sync: Hosts connect iCal feeds; Hostcation says it pulls blocked dates hourly and pushes direct bookings back to those feeds.
Listed channels: The homepage lists Airbnb, Booking.com, Vrbo, cottages.com, Sykes Cottages and Hoseasons, while its pricing details specifically name Airbnb, Booking.com, Vrbo and Sykes sync.
Payments: Guest card payments are processed through Stripe and go to the host's own Stripe account; Hostcation says it does not hold the funds.
Guest account: Guests can use the booking site without creating an account, and checkout is hosted by Stripe.
Guest Guide: The optional Guest Guide provides digital house information including arrival details, Wi-Fi, house instructions and local recommendations; it can work offline.
Guide access: Hosts can leave the Guest Guide open, code-protect arrival details or the full guide, and create guest-specific links that can be revoked after checkout.
Guide import: Hosts can upload an existing PDF or Word house manual for the guide to pre-fill, then review before publishing.
Privacy: Hostcation says it does not see or store card details, does not sell user data, and does not currently use third-party tracking or advertising cookies.
Data processors: Its privacy policy names Stripe, Resend, Neon and Vercel as service processors, and says Neon hosts its managed Postgres database in the EU.
Support: The homepage says users can email [email protected] and that founder Marcus answers support email.
Scale limit: Hosts with five or more booking-site properties are directed to ask for bespoke setup; Guest Guide multi-unit pricing is available by email.
Service warranty: The terms say Hostcation aims for high uptime but does not guarantee uninterrupted or error-free service.
