I like having one point of contact for everything. The integration is key to making rental management easy.

There is a missing link with VRBO. Chatting with guests before booking still has to be done in the VRBO app.

I have grown our company Mondosol scaling from 10 to 100 properties allowing more direct bookings and control overall

I like the website builder, channel manager, reservation system. I also like that I can receive payments on the percentage I decide and I can communicate with the guest with automatic messages.

Improving customer service is a must and they are working on with new agents. Making it easier to work with sub users as a property manager or simply giving access to staff or others. I would live a better integration with other channel manager

Excellent product, and customer service. Easy to navigate site.

Great value & service. Great options for website setup.

Would prefer other more cost effective payment options for client payments. 6 1/2 % is higher than other booking platforms.

Have a nice telefone support, but they can't do nothing, everything go to Connection Team, and they answer development team will do something in the future

Everything, very stupid system, to see the price, you need go to the Chanel, ex Airbnb, enter like a guest, look for your property, and look for diferents date to see what lodgfy are doing with your prices and promotions I Have 6 property and 4 channels, how a will know what are happen? Lodgfy dont charge for guest after 2 people, i lose a lot of money with this

Great customer service and onboarding calls with specialists! I haven't worked long on Lodgify but I know it will be worth my time and money to get all our listing set up under 1 platform.

The price and the way Vrbo is NOT friendly with lodgify. But that's not lodgify's problem!

Really positive. Great product and support throughout all process

Really easy to set up. Excellent support through trial call with [sensitive content hidden]. Does everything I need it to.

Took a few days for VRBO to sync so still didnt trust the linked calendars at the start but all good after initial set up. The derived rates and mark up % are a bit confusing to use.

Great Experience and very helpful to start my rental business

Able to integrate multiple rental platforms

I wish I could talk all day with your associates

Initially (years ago) was good customer service/account managers. Now its possibly the worst company ive had to deal with. Completely arrogant, not interested and focused on profits not the product/experience. Ask for help and expect to be told that they will be increasing the price.. contact senior management and expect your emails to be read and ignored. Dont get sucked in... plenty of better alternatives! We switched our properties to Tokeet and it is allot cheaper, has more features and amazing customer support. I doubt Lodgify will survive long with their attitude towards their clients.

Reservation system is okay but does not help if they provide a terrible website that does not convert

Customer service is horrible! Greedy company only care about increasing their profits (years ago this was not the case) they seem to think and act like they are a large corporation now and dont need to help you.

There is a ready word press web site that you can use !

booking training take time and not always available for you on time you request!

Easy and intuitive to use and submit info.

Website construction is not flexible.

Setting up Lodgify and integrating our properties was seamless with the help from our onboarding specialist. In no time, we were up and running and seeing all the booking platforms in one location. Easy!

Being 'old dogs', learning new tricks can be challenging. However, the learning curve is short...which is what we needed!

Overall, after all that has happened with the implementation process deleting bookings and blocks in my calendar, the lack of care in customer service, and my listing only live for five days before I requested to cancel (then denied the refund), I cannot be more dissatisfied. Once I started having issues with the implementation process and emailed support, it almost sounded like they were annoyed with me even asking. After requesting to cancel, it was like I was the bad guy and they fought for their annual subscription from me. Their policy was 7 days full-refund, but since the implementation process took a week and a half, they kept my subscription. It took another 11 days after requesting to cancel before Lodgify was disconnected and I was able to access my calendar on VRBO. Also note, VRBO disconnected the connection since Lodgify was unresponsive. As for the website builder (their claim to fame), it is severely rudimentary. For a business that could net $200K-$300K over a handful of properties from all online sales, this website would turn me off as a guest and I would be skeptical. The builder is very broken, slow, and does not work fluently like you would expect. Again, customer service has been the worst I have experienced with any company.

The website builder was the main reason why we wanted to go forward with this software. Although we never got the chance to integrate it in to our own website, the thought of being able to replicate VRBO or Airbnb on our own website without paying the royalties would have been a huge benefit. The API connection process with PriceLabs was very simple. Took about five minutes.

Integration process: This was the most difficult software integration I have ever experienced. Between the 5-8 day leeway in customer service response and the hoops you have to jump, be prepared to go for a very frustrating ride. I subscribed to Lodgify, then it took nearly two weeks to go live with VRBO because of their process. Once my listing finally went live, my booked calendar was partially deleted without notice, allowing guests to create bookings during times that were not available. I had 4 bookings created during times that were unavailable, all within 30 minutes. Customer service was unresponsive, it took 5 days for them to respond after calling (went straight to voicemail, yes they have voicemail) and by email. Set up: The process to set up the system was very awkward. You not only had to build the listing in VRBO, you also had to directly replicate the listing in Lodgify. I then later found out that Lodgify, due to how the systems communicate with each other, Lodgify supersedes any communication from VRBO. Therefore, most of my information on my listing was deleted. ***Very important point to note: Lodgify DOES NOT read the calendar off of VRBO. If a guest is interested in your property, they inquire on a date, VRBO then checks Lodgify to see if the dates are available, and then responds back that the dates are unavailable, then confusing the guest. I have had dozens of guests message me about dates that were unavailable and were confused and frustrated.

Lodgify has been a great partner since we went solo without using our property developer's rental company to let our rental. It has given us more control over our business, with more satisfaction, better financial reward. The customer service at Lodgify is fantastic, whether you call them or email -- they are always there to help and the team are just fantastic.

If you are a holiday property owner, whether hotel or villa rental, Lodgify provides you with the tools to create and maintain a web presence that allows you to access new customers, give them the information they want with professional looking pages, and price your property by week or day, create check-in/check-out periods seamlessly and allow for a customer to book online and pay by credit card or BACS without any hassle. Your business looks more professional and your management will be made easier by the backend tools that help you manage your bookings, taking damage deposits automatically, reminding guests to pay their balance, synch calendars with your third party booking sites (like AirBnB, VRBO, etc.). It is just a well thought out product and I would highly recommend it.

There isn't anything I don't like. It works well for me and my business.

Overall, I am incredibly happy. The sales team answered all of my questions and the tech team has been very responsive to all of my requests (equally pre and post subscription). I can't emphasize how happy I am to be able to talk directly to knowledgeable tech staff--this is so rare these days. The software satisfies of my existing needs and has more functionality when I'm ready to grow.

- very intuitive to create listings and set the various attributes- out of the box integration with major channels.. most notably airbnb/vrbo- custom automated messages / scheduling (this is huge)- granular pricing model vs. banded (e.g. you pay for the exact number of properties rather than big jumps at say 5, 10, 25 properties)- no setup fee (or if there was one it was so small that I don't remember)

- One technical issues on the backend (admin interface) is localization tags not being rendered (e.g it prints site.business.name instead of the actual business name). However, this is usually fixed with a refresh. I was initially concerned that it may impact potential guests but the tech team reassured me the tags were rendered on the server for bookings so that could never happen.- One nice addition to the custom messages (and perhaps it already exists) would be a way to confirm when it had been sent (either via an optional Cc: or a report in the interface)- Would be nice if it directly supported the RemoteLock API

It has been frustrating from the start but now that we have 4 rentals and are invested in it, it is difficult to switch to another one but I would do it in a heartbeat. Do not waste your time with Lodgify!!!

In theory I love the features they have but too bad they all do not function properly and have caused us to lose money on resos because of Lodgify's continued errors

Everything. Their customer support is terrible. all of their features are really buggy.

When I was searching for the software for our business, just like you are doing now, I did the same research and read some reviews here on this platform, and gave it a try, and to be honest, made the best decision by doing that. Because not only I got my self a great deal( subscribed for 50 properties) cost wise, at the same time I got the product that I am extremely happy about, very functional, and gives me all the tools my business needs. Within a month we had a bookable website, and channel management( airbnb, vrbo, expedia booking). It also gives you a feature of i-cal, where you can integrate your listings with the rest of the booking platforms. Wish they open USA support center for quicker replies.

For starters it comes with free bookable website, with all the basic functions in order to be able to run rentals and business overall is a great feature they provide. Easy and detailed instructions and very quick implementation process. Also the CRM, multi channel management, owner portal, integrated SEO options to name the few, are very helpful and essential and they provide that all plus much more.

We are within our 3rd month of working with this software and highly recommend to starters or anyone who runs properties on multiple channels. So far so good, and can't really find anything that I am not happy about, except for, our business is located in USA and dates are in Euro mode, but its manageable. Customer service is reachable only via email, and because of the time difference might take few hours for them to respond. They always do respond and fix everything and addressed all the issues we had so far. It is probably due to he fact that they do not have representation in USA which I recommend them to do. But has not been a huge factor for us at all.

So far the onboarding has been great and the functionality is very easy to use. It is taking some time to get onboarded but we have been incrementally progressing the project of transition.

I've not found a con yet but I'm early in the onboarding process. So far so good!

The website looks good. The back end mobile experience has actually declined since we signed up, it was better before. Now it's buggy and you can't scroll down through messages etc. There are some things we've been very happy with, but overall lodgify gets 3 stars.

My experience with lodgify started off very rocky. I wasn't happy with the features, experienced many crashes of the site in the first year that were very frustrating, and there were a few features that were broken entirely. Initially, I had the impression that they didn't have any intention of improving their software. Now that I've been using lodgify for a year and a half there are many broken features that are now working. The coupon codes actually work on mobile now which is something we had contacted them about at least a dozen times. Customer service responds quickly though there are delays because they are in Spain. There can also be some communication issues. We are a long established company with a well recognized brand that has always taken bookings off of our website, for years before switching to lodgify. This is why the platforms functionality was even more important to us. We have over a dozen properties and do around half a million in revenue a year.

Lodgify isn't exactly honest when you are signing up. We were told that if we signed up for the yearly subscription of $1,100 that we would be locked into that price for life. Well, just two years later and they raised the price $472.00 and told us that they would not be honoring their promised of their lifetime locked in price. They said that their website had been much improved since we signed up and used that as the reason for their price hike. Honestly though, nothing has changed on their website aside from a few broken features actually being fixed. They also charge $1,200 a year to integrate to stripe, so just to use lodgify you are looking at use shy of 3 grand if you have less than 15 properties. That on top of the 2.9% processing fees you are already paying with stripe. Our biggest disappointment with Lodgify came about a month ago when they decided to publish a blog that they sent to all of their email subscribers. In their blog they used our business and claimed our success was due to building a website with lodgify---a tall claim considering we only use their reservation system and we were a nationally recognized brand long before we ever adopted their software. In the blog they linked to our website, used our copyrighted photos without permission, and encouraged others to copy our very unique business model. In conclusion: Not a lot of integrity with lodgify in our experience. We like the reservation system but there is still room for improvement.

After 4 years of research we finally found Lodgify. (If not we would probably hired a Indian hacker team to create it) It provides nearly everything we need to run our apartment house in the digital world. After some time in customizing it to our needs, it works fine for our apartment house. Since we have swiched from Seekda/Kognitiv we have increased our sale with more than 300% through using the booking engine of Lodgify. An answer to that could be the user friendly and responsive 3 step process. But we dont use the website function of Lodgify (see Cons) It works perfectly with booking.com and runs without any problem so far . (not any single issue since 1 year) Lodgify extended our demo for free to get to know each detail of its software by heart before going live with our 6 Apartments on 4 channels. (booking, airbnb, homeaway, website) If you know your business processes, prices, cancellation policy and you have your pictures and descriptions ready, you can set up Lodgify as your PMS and channel manager within a day. (after you know the software) The credit card payment process via Stripe or Paypal are expensive but are working without any issue.

There is only a limited number of global OTAs provided in the channelmanager of Lodgify. Of course booking.com (Priceline) as the biggest player is on board, but we are missing Expedia second player on the market. Support is good but sometimes doesnt get your point what you are requesting. (maybe language issues) We requested a new channel which is probably the most important one in Austria (Feratel) and customer support and Feratel support told us in July that there are testing and providing the channel until the end of summer. Now it is 2018 and new people at Lodgify support tell us, that they never worked on a channel manager with Feratel! Very confusing and hard to argue all the time. It would be great to have some kind of WYSIWYG Editor to customize the Email communication with customers, since this is very hard to understand if your are not into HTML/PHP and working with variables. Bookings via Airbnb need sometimes more than 5 hours prior that they are blocked in the calendar. If someone else would book in the same period of time, you really have a problem. (never happend to us, but if?) We dont use the website cause there are some big SEO issues with image-titles etc. where the customer support did not understand the problem. So we prefer to have our own website and use the Lodgify booking engine just for the booking process itself. After saying all that little issues, where we hope Lodgify will optimize within the next years, we are very happy.

Intensely frustrating.

It delivers the basics necessary to take reservations, communicate with guests and receive payments--when it's working property.

I hardly know where to begin, but what brought me to the point of writing this review is a week of frustrated emails from would-be guests complaining that they cannot complete a reservation through our website. In a handful of cases, they've contacted us through a booking request, and we have no way of replying or even extracting their contact info because the back end is broken in some seemingly fatal way, so as far as they know, we're dead. We've submitted no fewer than a dozen requests for help over the last week, and although the help staff are responsive, they're ineffective, and the solutions they recommend rarely actually resolve any of the problems we report. In the three years we've used them, there has been modest improvement in the UI and general performance, but at least once a year, we experience a meltdown like the one that brought me to write this review. We've finally decided to give up, and we wouldn't think of recommending them to others. I find it particularly galling that their ads are constantly showing up in my social feeds while the product itself is so seriously flawed.

The software has choices such as having a calendar that tells consumers if the dates are available they are interested in. This allows them to make their plans and arrange their trip around the availability of our vacation spot. It had templates to use to initially set the site up. It also has prices for extras you may supply at an extra fee like our boat or kayak service. There is a photo gallery that allows you to get the true picture of a thousand words before your perspective clients. You can add discounts and local attractions to let future guests know they will have a full vacation experience including all the bells and whistles. You can also add in discounts that can be automatically figured into their quote. Unlike other sites, it allows you to give your phone number so coustomers can deal directly with you. You have the opportunity to have coustomers book directly or contact you at an email address. This is also something that other sites do not allow until payment and fees have been collected by their company.

The main problem I have is that I am located in Texas. The company is there to walk me through any issues I have but there is a time change difference. This is better now with representation texting messages on the bottom of the screen in real time.

Customer service was helpful at the outset and made a lot of promises about functionality, so I purchased a two year contract. 10 months in my VRBO integration still wasn't set up and the booking function proved to be clunky and difficult for my customers. I was assured that I could take payment via check to avoid credit card fees of $4000/week rentals, but my customers got multiple reminders and ended up paying online in some cases costing me hundreds of dollars. When I requested cancellation after 10 months I was told the refund period was only 30 days and I am out $800. To add insult to injury, they did not shut down my account when requested and one of my guests was automatically charged via credit card, which I had to pay $88 to refund. Predatory and unresponsive company - avoid at all costs, especially for management of just a few properties.

Calendar management and centralized messaging

High Cost, poor customer service with implementation and really poor customer service when exiting the platform. Confusing calendar booking for guests, and I received NO direct bookings through the website for a property that is booked 200 nights a year.

People are great, good price point, but poor software integration continues to prove costly, and with no motivation from the big players to fix four years on.

Interaction with staff and instant calendar overview we use daily.

Poor integration between VRBO/Bookabach and other related brands has meant lost business, incorrectly stated property details etc. all resulting in a loss of trust and business immediately after. 1 in 4 VRBO bookings since VRBO and Lodgify were integrated. Inbox has never passed on VRBO or Booking.com message since inception. Have tried working this through with Lodgify and agencies but for no result other than "provide (the other partie) with feedback."

So far everything seems so much easier to navigate the various platforms my vacation rental is listed on. There are a few tiny teething problems with the new interface but nothing major. It’s just little things like not showing any pets that will be arriving (although I can see in the AirBnB booking that pets will be arriving with guests).I do feel that I will be able to work long term with Lodgify as both they and I improve our skills.

The customer support (by [sensitive content hidden]) during setup was superb. I’m not great with computers and terminology so [sensitive content hidden] was fantastic in guiding me through the process. Very patient throughout, she explained everything so even I could understand what was happening. I’m sure that many other people would have no trouble navigating the setup but I needed help … and I certainly got it with [sensitive content hidden]. Highly recommended.

I was offered a discount promo code from the sales dept before sign up. Unfortunately this code didn’t work at checkout and support couldn’t get it fixed so I had to pay full price.Although I was “passed up the chain”, no one got back to me before my free trial was about to run out and I was worried that I would lose all the work I’d done setting up my website … so I just signed up.At the time of writing this review I have still had no further contact with customer support.I must point out that this problem arrived during the weekend and not midweek.
