TurnHiveTurnHive vs Hospitable: you don't need a PMS to coordinate your cleanings
Hospitable is built around the guest: a unified inbox, scheduled guest messages, a direct booking site, smart lock automations. Cleaning is handled through its cleaner marketplace, billed per clean. TurnHive is built around the turnover, for hosts who already have a cleaner they trust — one flat monthly price, no marketplace, no fee per cleaning.
Two different jobs
Both tools read your booking calendars, but they point in opposite directions. Hospitable's centre of gravity is guest communication and revenue. TurnHive's is the gap between two stays — who cleans, on what day, did they confirm, and what happens if nobody shows up. If you want one tool to message guests and set prices, Hospitable is the better fit. If the thing that keeps you up is whether the unit will be ready before check-in, that's the whole of what TurnHive does.
If you already have a cleaner
- No marketplace, no per-clean fee — you bring your own cleaner, and the price doesn't move with how often they work.
- Your cleaner reads in their own language — instructions, checklists and reminders in English, French, Spanish, German, Italian or Portuguese.
- No account needed for your cleaner — they open a private link and see only their own cleanings.
- Ready-before-check-in guarantee — automatic escalation when a cleaning is still not done and a guest is on the way.
- Proof trail — arrival condition, before/after photos and a timeline you can use in a damage dispute.
