Additional information
Connecting your Hostaway account to bnbfinder® allows you to import all supported static content when creating listings.
It's important to note that the Hostaway integration is a one-way sync connection, meaning that data is received from Hostaway but never sent back to the Hostaway platform. As a result, any edits made to your listings on bnbfinder® (including creating new listings) will not reflect on the Hostaway platform.
