Hostex 4.23.0 Release: Internationalized Booking Site & Flexible Refunds
We’re excited to announce Hostex 4.23.0, featuring internationalized booking site capabilities and enhanced refund flexibility to help hosts better serve global guests while streamlining operations.
1. Internationalized Booking Site
Your direct booking site now supports multi-language, multi-currency, and localized unit displays to match guest preferences seamlessly.
🌐 Multi-Language Support
13 Languages: English, Deutsch, Español, Français, Italiano, Português, Русский, 日本語, 한국어, 繁體中文, 简体中文, ไทย, العربية.
Guests can select their preferred language when browsing your site.
In addition to system UI, guests can choose to translate listing titles, descriptions, and reviews.
AI-powered real-time translation ensures maximum accuracy.
💱 Multi-Currency Support
Guests can switch to any global currency.
Prices are calculated based on real-time exchange rates.
The system automatically displays the local currency based on the guest’s location, while manual switching is also available.
Note: Displayed amounts are estimates only; final payment is charged in the host’s original pricing currency.
📏 Localized Unit Display
Supports both metric and imperial measurements.
Bed dimensions will be displayed in the guest’s local unit preference based on their country.
2. Manual Partial Refunds for Bookings
Hosts can now issue custom partial refunds for a direct booking at any time before or during the stay (upcoming or in-progress reservations).
Flexible Refund Amounts: Set any partial refund value (not limited to fixed amounts).
Multiple Operations: Refund the same reservation various times as needed (e.g., partial refund for early check-out + additional compensation).

3. Customizable Default Task Start Time
To align with diverse property rules, hosts can now set a custom default start time for tasks (e.g., "Start cleaning at 10:00 AM" instead of the system default).
