  • 458. Hosting Hotline: Can I Still Use StayFi with Airbnb’s New Rules?
    Apr 29 2025

    Airbnb’s new Off-Platform and Fee Transparency Policy has left a lot of hosts wondering: Can you still use tools like StayFi to collect guest emails?

    Today on the Hosting Hotline, Natasha calls in with a smart and timely question—and we bring in the best person to answer it: Arthur Colker, CEO of StayFi.

    In this episode, we cover:

    • How Airbnb’s updated policy affects communication and guest data collection
    • What it means to have guests “opt in” under the new rules
    • Why StayFi’s WiFi marketing and email tools are still compliant (and important!)
    • How to use this moment as an opportunity for a full business compliance check
    • Our own experience continuing to use StayFi for both our urban STRs and new glamping property

    If you're focused on building your direct booking strategy while staying fully compliant, this is an important conversation you won't want to miss.

  • 457. Are Your Minimum Stay Rules Costing You Bookings?
    Apr 24 2025

    We’re hearing it from hosts everywhere: “I want more bookings.”

    But when we look behind the scenes, a big reason you’re missing out is your minimum stay requirements. You’re unintentionally telling guests “no” and pushing them to book with your competitors.

    This episode is a deep dive into how your calendar settings might be working against you—without you even knowing it.

    In this episode, we cover:

    • Why Airbnb (and other OTAs) reward availability
    • How your minimum stay rules create unbookable calendar gaps
    • Choosing profitability over convenience (with action steps)
    • Using dynamic pricing instead of stay restrictions to manage demand
    • The mindset shift: You don’t set the rules—the market does

    Your calendar should work for you—not against you.

    Let’s make sure you’re not blocking bookings with outdated settings.

  • Bonus: Airbnb’s New Off-Platform & Fee Transparency Rules: What Hosts Must Know by May 10
    Apr 23 2025

    Big changes are coming to Airbnb's terms of service—and hosts need to take action. In this bonus episode, we break down Airbnb’s updated Off-Platform and Fee Transparency Policy, which officially goes into effect May 10, 2025.

    From mandatory fees and upsells to off-platform communication, security deposits, and software compliance, we walk through the biggest updates, what they mean for your short-term rental business, and how to stay compliant without panic.

    You’ll learn:

    • What must be listed in your Airbnb description now (and why)
    • How to handle upsells the right way under the new policy
    • Whether you can still use services like Hostfully, StayFi, or other API tools
    • The gray areas (and why you should be cautious)
    • Our personal take on why this might be a good thing for hosts in the long run

    This episode is not legal advice—we’re sharing what we know and what we’re hearing across the industry. Be sure to do your own research, talk to your tech partners, and reach out to Airbnb directly for your specific circumstances.

Thank you!

This is the niche I was already planning on trying out. we are close to major research centers, here in Tampa. I'm so glad it is as needed as I thought it would be! Making travel accessible to more people is an amazing feeling!

Honest Responses

I really appreciate this episode! I've been interested in the mid-term rental space for a while and it was great to hear Jesse talk openly about all of the work involved and how it is a different situation than short term rentals.
