We manage rentals across Airbnb and VRBO through Hostaway and do all our accounting in Xero. I converted the reservations export to Xero bank format monthly, and the region-specific date formatting meant no manual date fixes for our UK-based Xero org.

Why Property Rental Income Needs Proper Tracking
The Multi-Channel Problem
Managing rentals across Airbnb, VRBO, and direct bookings creates scattered income records. You need unified tracking in Xero.
What This Tool Does
We convert your Hostaway Reservations into Xero bank format with channel identification, guest details, and optional fee separation for accurate accounting.
How People Use Hostaway → Xero Bank
Tracking property management income in Xero was painful until I started converting Hostaway data to Xero bank statement CSV. Each reservation row includes the listing name, so I set up Xero bank rules to auto-categorize by property. Reconciliation went from hours to minutes.
Several of my clients use Hostaway for vacation rental management but need financials in Xero. The Hostaway Xero integration through this converter lets me separate OTA channel fees as individual expenses, which makes tax deduction tracking much cleaner at year-end.
