Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about beautifying your listing photos with Hostbloom.
What is Hostbloom?
Hostbloom is an AI photo beautification tool for Airbnb, VRBO and Booking.com hosts. It automatically enhances interior and exterior listing photos — correcting exposure, color and sharpness — so your rental space looks its best without hiring a professional photographer.
How does Hostbloom work?
Upload a photo, pick a style (Bright & Airy, Cozy Warm, Modern Clean or Vibrant), and Hostbloom generates an enhanced version in seconds. You can slide-compare the original and the result before downloading the clean, high-resolution image.
Is Hostbloom free to start?
Yes. Your first photo beautify is free so you can try Hostbloom with no commitment. After that, beautifying and downloading a clean photo costs 1 credit.
What does 1 credit do?
One credit beautifies one photo and lets you download the watermark-free, high-resolution result. Credits are sold in packages, there is no subscription, and you only pay for what you use.
Do better listing photos help a listing perform better?
Clear, well-lit photos help travellers evaluate a listing, but Hostbloom does not publish measured booking, revenue or occupancy figures. Results vary by listing and market. Any figures shown in our example showcases are illustrative only, not measured results.
Does Hostbloom publish performance statistics?
No. Hostbloom does not publish measured performance statistics or case-study averages. The before/after showcases and host stories on this site are illustrative examples, not measured customer results.
Which photo styles are available?
Four listing-tuned styles: Bright & Airy (airy, light interiors), Cozy Warm (warm, inviting rooms), Modern Clean (crisp, minimal spaces) and Vibrant (punchy outdoor, garden and pool shots).
Can I use Hostbloom photos on Airbnb, VRBO and Booking.com?
Yes. You retain full rights to your enhanced photo and can publish it on any platform — Airbnb, VRBO, Booking.com, social media or your own site.
Which photos can I upload?
Any interior or exterior space photo in JPG or PNG format — living rooms, bedrooms, kitchens, bathrooms, gardens, pools and views. Hostbloom is tuned specifically for short-term-rental and real-estate listing photography.
How fast is photo beautification?
Typically just a few seconds per photo, right in your browser. No software to install and no waiting on a designer.
Are my listing photos private?
Yes. Your photos are visible only to your own account. We never share them publicly, never use them to train our models, and you can delete any photo at any time.
Do you train AI models on my photos?
No. Your uploaded photos are used only to generate the enhanced version you requested. They are never used for model training or shared with third parties.
Are credits refundable?
Credit packages are non-refundable and all sales are final. If you experience a technical issue (for example, credits not delivered), contact support and we will make it right.
Do I need a subscription?
No. There is no monthly fee or automatic renewal. You simply buy credits when you need them and use them to beautify photos at your own pace.
