Protect your income, own your reputation, and build bookings without living in fear of unfair platform bans.
Built for independent hosts, property managers, and short-term rental operators.
Millions of hosts built their livelihoods on platforms they do not own. One policy change, one malicious review, one opaque algorithm — and it is gone.
Accounts get suspended with no clear reason, no warning, and no meaningful path to reinstatement. Your income disappears overnight.
Years of five-star reviews belong to the platform, not you. Switch channels and you start from zero — even with a perfect track record.
Visibility is controlled by opaque systems that change without notice. You can do everything right and still disappear from search results.
When something goes wrong, you get scripted responses and ticket queues. Real problems affecting real livelihoods receive no human attention.
A single dishonest guest review can tank your ranking. The dispute process is opaque, one-sided, and rarely resolved in the host's favour.
Challenging a ban or a policy decision means navigating a system designed to discourage escalation. Most hosts give up. That is by design.
Every feature in Hostiq is designed from the host's perspective. Fair moderation. Human oversight. Reputation you own and can take anywhere.
Every policy decision includes a clear explanation. No black-box rulings. No guesswork.
A real review path for disputes and suspensions — with defined timelines and written outcomes.
Your reviews, ratings, and hosting history belong to you — not the platform. Export them anytime.
Identity and property verification that builds trust with guests without compromising your privacy.
Accept bookings directly with no intermediary fees eroding your margins on every reservation.
Your property stays discoverable and bookable even if another platform restricts your account.
Structured dispute resolution that weighs host and guest evidence equally, with documented outcomes.
A verified hosting score that travels with you across platforms, channels, and booking tools.
Hostiq builds a portable reputation profile for every host — verified, data-backed, and fully owned by you. Not locked inside a single platform's database.
"Hostiq is building a fairer hosting ecosystem where bans are transparent, reviews are portable, and hosts are treated like business owners — not disposable accounts."
Straight answers. No marketing language.
Hostiq is a host-first alternative to Airbnb and other short-term rental platforms. It gives independent hosts, property managers, and STR operators transparent moderation, a fair dispute process, a portable reputation score, and direct booking tools — so no single platform can shut down their business overnight.
Yes. Hostiq is built specifically for hosts who are tired of opaque bans, algorithm-driven ranking, and reviews they do not own. It provides a backup listing page, a portable trust score, and a human appeal process — things Airbnb does not offer.
If you are banned or suspended on Airbnb, Hostiq provides a backup listing page and a portable reputation profile so your hosting history, reviews, and trust score are not lost. You can continue accepting direct bookings through Hostiq even if your Airbnb account is suspended or deactivated.
Yes. Hostiq's Reputation Passport gives every host a portable profile that includes their guest ratings, response rate, completed stays, and overall trust score. This profile belongs to the host — not the platform — and is not locked inside a single booking channel.
Hostiq is currently in pre-launch. Joining the waitlist and reserving your account is completely free — no credit card, no payment. Pricing details will be shared with waitlist members before the public launch.
Those platforms are built for growth and guest acquisition — hosts are a means to that end. Hostiq is built around host stability: transparent moderation policies, a documented appeal process, reputation data you own, direct booking tools, and human support for real disputes. Hosts are treated like business owners, not disposable accounts.
