Linked to your Airbnb, Booking.com and Vrbo calendars
Paste your calendar export links and HostSorted keeps a live count of your booked nights across every platform, with overlaps counted once.
London's 90-night limit
In Greater London, whole homes can only be let short-term for 90 nights a calendar year without planning permission. Airbnb's own cap only sees Airbnb. HostSorted counts every platform and warns you as you get close.
Business rates evidence
To pay business rates instead of council tax, a holiday let must be let for at least 70 nights a year. HostSorted keeps the running total from your real bookings, all year.
Reminders timed around real stays
If the property has been empty for a week or more, HostSorted reminds you to run the taps and showers before the next guests arrive, to reduce the legionella risk.
Read-only and private
Calendar links only share which dates are booked or blocked. HostSorted never sees guest names, messages or payments.
