The problem

Switching tools shouldn't erase your past.

Starting from scratch means losing years of precious data.

Most tools make you start from a blank page: your past bookings, your revenue from previous years, all stuck in the platforms or an old spreadsheet. As a result, your first statistics are empty and your year-on-year comparisons are unusable for months.

HostDesk does the opposite: you import your history in a few minutes, and your data speaks from day one. At the other end, the clean export avoids friction with your accountant.

How it works

Your data comes in, your statements go out.

Two simple moves, with no re-keying or manual formatting.

The import

Drop a file, HostDesk sorts it out.

You drag in your CSV export or your iCal file. HostDesk recognises the columns — dates, amounts, platform, guest — and imports your history while matching any duplicates.

  • Airbnb, Booking, VRBO CSV and iCal files.
  • Automatic column recognition.
  • Duplicates flagged, not stacked.

The export

PDF and CSV, ready for the accountant.

In one click, HostDesk generates PDF statements and structured CSV files. You pass them on as is to your accountant: no more screenshots and misunderstandings.

  • PDF statements ready to send.
  • CSV reusable in a spreadsheet.
  • Structured, readable data.

Frequently asked questions

Everything about import and export.

Which formats can I import?

The CSV exports from Airbnb, Booking and VRBO, as well as the iCal (.ics) files from your calendars. HostDesk recognises the columns (dates, amounts, platform, guest) and files everything automatically.

How do I import my booking history?

You drop the file exported from the platform, HostDesk identifies the columns and imports your old bookings. You start with several years of data and relevant statistics from day one.

What can I export?

Your data as PDF (statements ready to share) and CSV (reusable in a spreadsheet or by your accountant). No more screenshots or reformatting.

Does the import create duplicates?

No. HostDesk matches bookings it already knows and flags potential duplicates instead of stacking them, to keep a clean base.

Can my accountant use the exports?

Yes, that's the point. The CSV and PDF exports are structured to be directly readable by an accountant, which avoids misunderstandings and back and forth.

How long does an import take?

A few moments. You drop the file, you check the preview, you confirm — and your history is in place.
