FAQs
About Lynx
Hostfully and Lynx work seamlessly together with a 2-way integration. Hostfully gets authorized with Lynx in a few simple steps and exchanges information in real-time.
Lynx receives guest and stay information from Hostfully like name, email, phone number, date, time, and confirmation number.
- Digital Keys and Access Codes – Lynx sends Hostfully guests’ access codes. Lynx can manage guests’ access to room doors, shared dorm rooms, access to amenities like a gym, pool as well as common doors like lobby and garage. All the access codes and digital keys generated by Lynx are unique for each guest and valid only for the duration of the stay. Customization is possible, for example to add “Access Buffer” to extend access for common doors. When working with smart locks with keypads Lynx generates a 4-digit access code which is the last 4-digits of the guest’s phone number. Lynx can generate a digital mobile key for all smart locks. Guests can receive the access information via Hostfully email message.
- Guest Portal with Room Controls – Guest portal shows stay information, guide book, map, weather and offers upsells to guests.
- Guest portal (no app download) can be completely customized for multiple brands in your portfolio. Guests can access digital keys and all smart room controls.
- Guest Portal with Digital Concierge – With Lynx Guest Portal you can offer your guests, digital concierge, upsell, early check-in, late check-out, sell tickets, rentals, and packages. Set rules and triggers to offer in-house upsells, third-party services, or destination packages. Smart Check-out option for guests.

This makes Hostfully one of the most stable channel management providers in the industry.

Every new customer of our Property Management Platform receives step-by-step instructions and a dedicated Onboarding Specialist to support you for your first 45 days. After you complete an initial assignment to get you started and attend a group call, your Onboarding Specialist will set up the first of your 1:1 one-hour personalized calls.* During your onboarding, Hostfully will help you set up your properties, configure listing sites and OTAs, show you how to automate processes with templates and triggers, and get started with pricing.
Please note that the set up time to import and list properties on listing sites varies. Some take under 24 hours, while others take up to two weeks or longer. This is outside any software company’s control. However, due to Hostfully’s preferred partner status with Airbnb, Vrbo, and Booking.com, we can track your status progress and get faster access if an unforeseen problem happens.
After your 1:1 calls, additional onboarding services can be purchased for $150 per hour.
*All plans include at least 2 x 1:1 calls. See plans for details.
