About Host Starter Bundle

What is Host Starter Bundle?

Running a rental takes care of plenty of details, from choosing tools to preparing for guest arrivals. This site is built to help you find useful starting points without assuming you have a large team or a complicated operation.

You can use the guides to think through common hosting tasks, browse templates to get a first draft in place, and compare software options before deciding what fits your setup.

What will you find here?

The software section covers tools for short-term rental hosts. Use it to compare options and see which details may matter for your day-to-day work. Start with the software rankings, or read how we rank software to understand the approach.

The free host templates give you editable starting points for recurring tasks and guest communication. The guides offer practical explanations and checklists you can adapt to your own property, routines, and local requirements.

These resources are meant for hosts who handle the work themselves, whether you are setting up a new place or improving the way you manage an existing listing. Keep what suits your property, and adjust the rest to match how you host.

How do we check facts?

Software details are checked against the vendors’ own pages, and each review includes a date so you can see when it was reviewed. Product details can change, so use the review as a starting point and confirm anything that matters for your decision directly with the vendor.

Rankings explain how options are assessed, while guides and templates are written to help with practical hosting tasks. For platform requirements or local rules, check the relevant platform help pages or your local authority.

How can you report a wrong fact?

If you spot a detail that looks out of date or incorrect, please send us a note. Include the page and the detail you think needs a second look. That gives us a clear place to start when reviewing it.
