Show property price in the list view once dates and guest count have been entered
Right now prospective guests are REALLY struggling to understand how much our properties cost. It's the number one question we get from people who are searching on our direct booking site.
The problem is that there is no way to compare prices across properties other than drilling down into several property pages open in several tabs and entering dates and guest count info in each one.
It would be much easier to enter the dates and guest count once in the main search and see the total displayed under each property's tile. It's nice that there's already the ability to…

Expand length of the Direct Booking Site "Review Response" field
As a PM I would like to have up to 500 characters to respond to a guest review so that I can be very detailed about my response. Right now, there's a limit of 255 characters.

Improve "Available Properties" email
The price quoted in the email is deceptively high and would scare off guests since it is the total including the deposit and all fees. I would think that if they clicked on one of the properties in the email that it would show them a breakdown of how that figure was calculated. But it just takes them to the listing. Not a quote. ---Personally I'd prefer if this email would publish the nightly rate instead. Let the guests see all the fees and deposits later. This email should entice them, not scare them off.

Payment Processing - Accept crypto payments?
Has there been any discussions about Hostfully platform being able to

Remove the location from the property search bar on the direct booking site
Remove the location field from the property search bar on the direct booking site. If all properties are in the same city, or there is only one property, it would be convenient to remove that field.

Extend Hold for Direct Booking Reservation by Custom Options
I would love to be able to choose for how long I extend an individual reservation hold. Instead of the flat agency setting (currently set to 24hrs), it would be good to have a a few custom buttons to extend for 1hr, 12 hrs, 24 hrs (and ability to customise each preset)

Display Taxes Separately from Fees During Direct Booking Checkout Flow
Currently, taxes added to a property are displayed as fees during the Direct Booking Site checkout flow.
Taxes should appear under a dedicated “Taxes” section/label instead of being grouped together with fees. This would provide clearer pricing transparency for guests and help differentiate mandatory government taxes from property-specific fees.

Option to remove “Avg / night” green price bubble from website/map view
PM would like to request the ability to remove or hide the green “Avg / night” price bubble that appears on the website map/listing view.
Currently, this element is system-generated and there is no option in settings to disable it. In some cases, it affects the visual presentation of the listings and we would like more flexibility to control whether this pricing badge is shown or hidden.

Improve visibility of upsell options (e.g., pet fees) earlier in the booking flow
Currently, optional upsell items (such as pet fees) are only displayed later in the booking process, around the “Confirm and Continue” or payment stage. This can make them easy for guests to miss.
It would improve the user experience to surface these options earlier in the flow — for example:
After guests input the number of guests
Before clicking “Book Now”
Or as a dropdown/selectable option earlier in the checkout process
This would make upsells more visible and intuitive, and could potentially increase adoption and reduce confusion for guests.
Use case:
Property managers want guests to clearly see and select…2 votes -

Change how checkout restriction dates are shown on booking widget
When a property manager blocks check out on a specific date in the calendar, the booking widget displays that date as grey.
However, the date is not actually unavailable. Guests can still stay that night as part of a longer reservation. The only restriction is that they cannot check out on that date.
This creates confusion for guests because the widget visually suggests the date cannot be booked at all, even though it is still available within a multi night stay.

• Supports referral programs and marketing ROI tracking.
• Improves lead quality by gathering valuable info at the first point of contact.Suggested Implementation:
• Allow admins to create a custom “Referral Source” field.

Make booking widget show all pricing details when clicking on "Show details"
On Booking widget, the pricing section doesn’t appear to move when clicking on "Show details", and it wasn’t immediately obvious that they needed to scroll all the way down to see the rest of the information.

Allow booking request outside booking lead time (Direct Bookings)
It ill be great to have a DBS button the same way it works for Airbnb. This is because we're a business who work in business hours. We have instant booking setup in general but after a certain time in the day, it becomes more complicated to accept a last-minute guest. They should be able to submit requests too.
