Host Alert

The app Airbnb guests hate you having... 👀
Why?

Because instead of finding out about a major concert, festival or sporting event after your calendar is already full, you'll know about it well in advance.

HostAlert brings the UK's demand-driving events together in one smart, easy-to-use app, helping Airbnb and short-term rental hosts stay one step ahead.

With real-time event alerts, impact ratings, advanced filters, custom reminders and an events calendar, you'll have the insights you need to review your pricing before demand peaks, not after.

Download HostAlert today and start staying ahead of the market.

We really enjoyed doing this podcast with the brilliant James at Host Planet - some great insight, tips and three essential take aways for all STRs from James 🚀🚀

🎟️ The #1 reason hosts underprice? They never knew the event was happening. Andy Crosby of HostAlert broke it down on the Host Planet Podcast 🎙️ Here’s the trap 👇 🎤 Concerts, festivals & sporting events are the big money-makers 📅 But they’re announced unpredictably – a stadium gig here, a cup fixture there. No neat calendar ⏱️ Loyal fans book WAY in advance to follow their team or artist 💸 Miss the announcement = you sell your best dates at your normal rate to people who’d have paid a premium It’s not a strategy problem. It’s an awareness problem. That’s exactly why Andy built HostAlert – tracking events and alerting hosts in time to adjust their pricing. 🔔 🎧 Full episode out now – powered by Lodgify.

🎙️ It's live!
Our co-founder Andy recently joined the team at Host Planet to discuss one of the biggest challenges facing Airbnb and short-term rental hosts today: staying ahead of local demand.

In the episode, Andy shares the story behind HostAlert, how missing a major event weekend cost him over £2,000 in lost revenue, and why he believes hosts need better access to local event data to make smarter pricing decisions.

We also dive into event-driven demand, common hosting mistakes, and how hosts can stop leaving money on the table.
A huge thank you to the Host Planet team for having us on.

Thinking about starting an Airbnb? Or recently launched your first short-term rental?
The good news: most hosting mistakes are avoidable.

The bad news: many hosts don't realise they're making them until it's already cost them bookings, revenue or valuable time.

As Airbnb Superhosts, we've learned a lot along the way, from pricing strategies and guest management to spotting local events before they impact demand.

Swipe through to discover 5 of the most common mistakes first-time hosts make and how you can avoid them.

What do High-Impact Events actually mean inside HostAlert? 👀 Not all events affect bookings equally. That's why HostAlert labels events based on their likely impact on local accommodation demand. High-impact events are major concerts, festivals, sporting events, conferences, public holidays and other occasions that historically drive significant demand for accommodation. These are the events most likely to increase occupancy, reduce availability and push accommodation prices higher, often by 50% or more. By highlighting these events, HostAlert helps UK hosts quickly identify the opportunities that matter most, so you can spend less time researching and more time making informed pricing decisions. Smarter hosting starts with knowing what's coming.

Airbnb opens bookings 12 months in advance.

But most hosts only start thinking about pricing… a few weeks before the date.

That’s the gap.

Events are announced months ahead.
Hotels react immediately.
And most hosts don’t.

So by the time demand spikes, your calendar is already filling up… at the wrong price.

If you’re not adjusting early, you’re already behind.

That’s exactly why I built something different.

HostAlert isn’t just for the average Airbnb host. It’s built for hosts who want more control, more insight, and better results.

Whether you’re managing multiple short-term lets and need a smarter way to stay on top of demand surrounding events, or you’re a new host looking to get your pricing right from day one… this is for you.

It’s for the hosts who don’t have time to scroll through Facebook groups all day looking for event updates. The ones who care about maximising every booking, not just filling their calendar. And the ones who want their properties to perform without being glued to them 24/7. Because great hosting isn’t just about getting bookings… it’s about getting the right bookings, at the right time.

That’s who HostAlert is built for.
