Hostaway aggregates my Airbnb and VRBO reservations, but the CSV exports sometimes have mismatched check-in/check-out dates or missing guest names. I validate every monthly export before reconciling payouts in QuickBooks. Last month it caught three reservations with zero-dollar totals that would have thrown off my revenue numbers.

How People Use Hostaway Reservations
I manage short-term rentals for multiple owners and each one needs accurate booking reports. The validator flags duplicate reservation IDs and invalid phone formats before I split revenue by property. It caught a batch where listing IDs were swapped between two properties, which would have sent $2,800 to the wrong owner.
My clients export Hostaway data monthly and half the files have formatting issues. Running validation first means I catch missing email fields, garbled guest names, and price columns with commas instead of decimals before anything touches my accounting system.

Missing or malformed columns cause conversion and import failures.
