Channel manager and PMS software for hotels and cottages in the UK
A UK property — whether a city hotel, a countryside B&B or a holiday cottage — usually sells through Booking.com and Expedia, with Airbnb carrying much of the short-stay and cottage market. Prime Host runs all of it from one calendar and checks that every price change actually took effect on each channel.
What running OTAs in the UK looks like
Airbnb often matters as much as the big two
For B&Bs, guesthouses and holiday cottages, Airbnb is frequently the largest single source of bookings, alongside Booking.com and Expedia rather than behind them.
Holiday cottages sell as single units, like villas
A cottage or self-catering unit is usually one standalone listing rather than one of many hotel rooms, so a double-booking has nowhere to move the guest to.
Our support hours run on Thailand's clock
Thailand is 6–7 hours ahead of the UK depending on the time of year, so our 09:00–21:00 Thailand support window covers the UK's early morning into early afternoon, not the UK evening.
VRBO/holiday-let platforms sit outside the six live connections
Cottage owners using VRBO alongside Airbnb should know it's catalog-supported, not a live sync the way Airbnb is.
How Prime Host handles it
Airbnb connects by OAuth login
Authorise once from your Airbnb account and rates and availability sync both ways, with every update read back to confirm it landed — the same live connection as Booking.com, Agoda, Expedia, Trip.com and Hostelworld.
Each cottage or unit keeps its own protected calendar
The same unit and night can't be confirmed for two guests across channels — it's blocked at the database level, not just a warning on screen.
Prime Shield shows a discounted booking in pounds, converted from what was charged
Every booking is compared against the price you set, so a quiet platform discount shows up as a real amount rather than a guess.
VRBO is in our connectivity catalog
It isn't a live OAuth connection like Airbnb, but it's supported, with our team helping set it up if you list on it.
What a UK property pays
Prices are shown in USD for reference. Checkout is billed in Thai baht at current exchange rates.
| Rooms / units | Annual plan (per month) | Monthly plan |
|---|---|---|
| 10 | $72.50 | $87 |
| 30 | $102.50 | $123 |
| 60 | $147.50 | $177 |
Price is based only on room or unit count. VAT treatment of an overseas digital subscription is a question for your accountant — we don't charge or collect UK VAT at checkout.
