One source of truth
What the team manages and what visitors see had to match, with no double entry.
CASE STUDY
Vacation rental website design
wired straight to the PMS.
A site for a Costa del Sol rental manager, wired to the PMS the operation already runs on, so the catalog is never entered twice and never out of date.

THE CHALLENGE
A site that updates itself and sells for them.
The properties live in the PMS, and copying them by hand left the site out of date within weeks. On top of that, the site had to convince owners before the first call.
Bandhu Rentals manages short-term rentals on the Costa del Sol, mostly in Málaga. Owners hand over the flat and Bandhu handles everything, working from the platforms (Booking, Airbnb) and Hospitable, the PMS that holds properties, calendars and guest messages.
An international audience
Guests and owners come from several countries, so the site needed more than one language.
The service is the product
Bandhu sells management, not nights. The site had to show what it does for a property.
THE SOLUTION
Wire it to the system they already use.
The site pulls from Hospitable, and everything around the catalog is editable by the team.
A custom Hospitable integration
WordPress talks to Hospitable, and Gemini translates what comes back. Properties, calendars and descriptions leave the PMS, land in WordPress and are published in every language the site speaks, with nobody typing any of it twice.
- Administered once The team works in the system it already knows, and the site follows.
- Translated on arrival Gemini writes each listing in the other languages as it syncs, so a new property is live everywhere at once.
- Always current The site reflects the PMS without manual intervention.
The before/after module
The strongest argument the business has, turned into something the visitor operates: a comparison that shows at a glance what management and refurbishment do to a property.
- The proof is on the page One gesture replaces a paragraph of explanation.
Plugins for self-management
Custom extensions so the team controls content, copy and media without touching code. A property that does not live in Hospitable is added here in a few steps, pulled in from its Airbnb listing if there is one, and translated on the way in.
- Imported in one pass An Airbnb URL brings the photos, the amenities and the listing details across for review.
- Scope today Catalog and contact; booking completes on the channels the operation already uses.
- Projected An owners’ portal, designed but not yet built.

LET'S TALK ABOUT YOURS
THE RESULTS
A place where the offer is theirs.
Bandhu no longer depends on the platforms to present itself. Each property is told with its own identity, and the pitch to owners, the higher-margin side of the business, gets room it would never have on a third-party portal.
- Hospitable PMS integration
- Before and after comparison module
- Custom plugins for self-management
- Multilingual site
- Catalog auto-translated with Gemini
- 23 properties across four towns
AstroPanda designed and built our vacation rental management website and connected it to Hospitable, so we manage everything from one place and the catalog is always up to date without us having to do anything.
Clients arrive having already seen the photos, the services and the reviews, so the conversation starts much closer to the goal. We save a step in every sale.
We would work with AstroPanda again a thousand times over. We recommend them 100%.
