AI Marketing Automation for Independent & Boutique Hotels
Hostli is an AI marketing platform built for independent and boutique hotels. It reads your booking history to find the guests worth advertising to, then builds the whole Facebook and Instagram campaign for each of them: the images, the wording, who sees it, and the daily budget. It keeps moving money toward whatever books direct. You approve every campaign on your phone before it goes live.
Reserve private demo- Knowing who actually books you
- Hostli reads your booking history and every review you have, then groups your guests by what they have in common: where they travel from, which season they come in, how long they stay, and what brought them. Each group gets its own campaign.
- End-to-end campaign generation
- For each group, Hostli builds the whole ad: the images, a few versions of the wording, who should see it, and how much to spend a day. It is written for your hotel, in your guests' language, and ready to go live.
- Spending limits that hold
- Facebook decides which of your ads deserves the next dollar. Hostli sets the limits around that decision: no single ad can take more than half the day's budget, and none is starved below a tenth of it. Your spend cannot run away on one ad.
- Mobile approval and override
- Every image, every line of text, and every budget change waits for you. Approve, edit, or reject it from your phone. WhatsApp tells you when something looks off, and sends a weekly summary.
- Direct booking attribution
- Hostli follows the guest from the ad to the booking on your own website, then checks that booking against your reservation system, so every booking it bills you for is one it can show you by name and date.
- OTA commission reduction
- Independent hotels pay 15-28% to the booking sites on every reservation. Every direct booking Hostli brings you replaces one of those commissions. That is how we measure the return: against commission you did not pay, not against clicks.
Who this is for
- The owner-operator
- You run the front desk and the marketing. Campaigns arrive built; you approve from your phone and get back to the guests.
- The general manager
- You answer for the numbers, not the ad accounts. One weekly digest tells you what was spent, what it booked and what needs a decision.
- The marketing manager
- You keep the strategy and the brand. Hostli does the production, the pacing and the reporting, and every campaign is yours to edit before it runs.
Yarden Estate
60%+ more back on every ad dollar¹, alongside their existing agency
Yarden Estate ran Hostli alongside the marketing agency they already had. Hostli reached valuable guests the agency was not advertising to, without getting in the agency's way. Outcomes vary by hotel. Performance figures are taken from third-party reporting in Meta Ads Manager and Google Analytics, not from Hostli's own measurement.

Frequently asked questions
- What is hotel marketing automation?
- It is software that writes, publishes, and improves a hotel's advertising without someone having to work on it every day. It usually covers working out who your guests are, producing the ads, running them on Facebook, Instagram, and Google, moving the budget toward what works, and showing which bookings came from it. Hostli does all of that, and asks for your approval before anything goes live.
- How is AI marketing automation different from a marketing agency?
- An agency charges a monthly retainer, and a new ad takes days or weeks to go through a person. Hostli produces and tests ads in minutes, keeps running around the clock, and replaces the retainer with one flat monthly fee that includes everything.
- Does Hostli work alongside our existing marketing agency?
- Yes. Yarden Estate, a Hostli design partner, ran Hostli alongside their agency on the same ad accounts. Full case study available on request. Hostli works inside your own Meta business account with limited permissions, and does not touch campaigns your agency runs.
- Which advertising platforms does Hostli support?
- Facebook and Instagram are the main platforms. Hostli publishes straight into your own Meta account, picks where each ad appears, and tests several versions of it. Google Ads and TikTok Ads are on the roadmap.
- How long does setup take?
- Yarden Estate, a Hostli design partner, went from signup to first live campaign in under 30 minutes. Setup requires connecting Meta Business Manager, your PMS or booking engine, and reviewing the first generated campaigns. No contract or onboarding services are required.
- How much does Hostli cost?
- Three USD plans. Deluxe is $100/month, flat, with no success fee: the software on your own, with monthly limits. Superior is $500/month at 2.2% and Signature is $750/month at 2%: the software plus a person accountable for your bookings. The success fee applies only to the direct bookings Hostli can show you, one by one: tagged clicks, campaigns that started the visit, and the organic social channel Hostli runs for you. There is no minimum ad spend and no setup fee. Annual billing on Superior and Signature costs ten months for twelve. Full breakdown on the pricing page.
- How does Hostli measure return on ad spend?
- Against real direct bookings. Hostli follows the guest from the ad to the booking on your website, then checks that booking against your reservation system. It shows you both numbers, what Facebook claims and what your own records confirm, so nothing is counted twice.
