DashboardReporting

Understanding Your Overview Dashboard

The Overview dashboard gives you a real-time snapshot of your operations — active guests, upcoming check-ins, bot activity, and open escalations. This article explains what each section shows and how to use it day-to-day.

The overview at a glance

The dashboard is divided into several sections, each covering a different aspect of your operations. The data refreshes automatically — you do not need to reload the page to see current information.

Reservations list on the overview dashboard
Active and upcoming reservations with guest and property details

Active reservations

The reservations section shows all currently active stays and upcoming check-ins. For each reservation you can see:

  • Guest name and booking channel (Airbnb, Booking.com, etc.).
  • Property name and check-in / check-out dates.
  • Reservation status (new, modified, in-progress, or cancelled).

Reservations are synced from Hostaway in real time via webhooks. If a booking is modified or cancelled in Hostaway, the dashboard reflects the change within minutes.

💡
Use the Active filter to focus on reservations where guests are currently staying. This is the most useful view for day-of operations.

Check-ins and check-outs today

The dashboard highlights guests arriving and departing today so you can prioritise:

  • Check-ins today — guests who are arriving and may need access codes, parking instructions, or a welcome message.
  • Check-outs today — guests who are leaving. Their conversations will be marked as closed after check-out.

Open escalations

The escalations counter shows how many guest conversations are currently waiting for a human response. A high number here means your team needs to review and resolve cases.

Click the counter or navigate to Ops → Customer Help → Escalations to see the full list.

⚠️
Unresolved escalations from in-stay guests should be treated as urgent. A guest experiencing a problem during their stay who has not received a response is a guest at risk of leaving a negative review.

Bot activity

The bot activity section shows how many messages your AI assistants have handled over the selected time period. This helps you gauge automation efficiency:

  • Messages handled — total messages where the bot sent an automated reply.
  • Escalation rate — the percentage of conversations that were escalated to a human. A rising rate may indicate guests are asking questions the bot is not configured to handle.
💡
If your escalation rate is above 20%, review recent escalation cases to identify common topics. You may need to expand your assistant's knowledge base or adjust its scope.

Properties summary

A quick list of your active properties with their current occupancy status. Properties with active stays show the guest name and check-out date. Vacant properties are shown without a guest.

Clicking a property opens its detail page where you can view the full reservation history and associated AI assistant configuration.
