Functionality

Pros:

- fantastic support team behind. - solid, trustworthy company behind the software. - software that fullfills my booking need and more: -- coordinate who has booked on Airbnb and booking.com to avoid doublebooking -- make webpage free via Your Porter App system (they also offer to use own domain for a fee) --Automation of day to day actions, like sending welcome email -possible to test it out before buying (also good because one has not started to earn money yet, so the tool helps one make money first before asking for money). - I only have one listing and the company support me having many questions even though I am very small w/only 1 listing.

Cons:

Have nothing negative to say. It is just a very good tool with extremely good and helpful support staff.

Reasons for choosing Guesty Lite

1/ Open regarding pricing. 2/ Easy to just start and not having to wait after the weekend to have an interview or demo and maybe hopefully then getting the price of the product. 3/ Free test period 4/ Seemed serious and not an extremely big cooperation that would not take me who has just one listing seriously. 5/ The research I did indicated this is a up and comping company.

Great feature set, good value

Overall very positive - good set of features that work well and take the effort out of listing a house(s) on multiple rental channels. The feature set compares well with others in the market and *if* the Airbnb ranking booster works (I'm not sure it does yet, but here's hoping!) then it's worth going for YP over anything else out there just for that.

Customer support

Functionality

Pros:

Love the automated message function which I use for automated booking, check-in and check out messages. I has saved me a lot of time and works brilliantly! I like being able to sync prices from Airbnb to Booking.com (with a % markup to account for higher Booking.com fees). The rating booster and auto-snooze seem like good ideas, but unfortunately I haven't seen any improvements in my ranking since I started to use.

Cons:

The timeline only seems to pull in a few entries at a time before needing to make another network request to load some more - this results in repeatedly seeing the little YourPorter icon when scrolling through timeline. The UI is also bit clunky/not very intuitive to use.

Reasons for switching to Guesty Lite

Smoobu did not offer timed automated responses so was no good for timing a checkout message for just after my guests checked out (it messaged them at 7am instead!).

YourPorter App

It is a good software that will save me lots of time and headaches from double bookings and logging into to multiple OTA's. It is great to be able to do things from one place.

Functionality

Pros:

The messaging and calendar integration have been huge for us to have one place to get everything done.

Cons:

Customer service and on-boarding has been difficult. Having a FAQ sheet to learn how to use the software versus a person or videos to see how its done.

Reasons for choosing Guesty Lite

Your Porter seemed like the best value of all the products that we looked at. Guesty has more features and is more user friendly but the cost is simply to much for my business when compared to Your Porter. Your Porter has most all of the same features just scaled down and without as much customization for a great price point. Also not charging me a for months that I do not have bookings is a massive bonus for me as I manage in a seasonal market where the rentals are closed half the year.

Guesty for Hosts falls short on feature set

I came from Tokeet which is a great platform with a ton of features but can be overly complicated and not a great UI/UX experience. Due to a lack of VRBO API integration options, I decided to switch to Guesty for Hosts (only 1 rental). Initially, it seemed very powerful until I peeked under the hood too much and realized it lacked a ton of features that I counted on with Tokeet. It made sense to create a basic VRBO/Airbnb and Direct Booking triangle without the PMP in the middle until the platform can be made to be useful. It would be amazing if they listened and allowed single hosts to pay for the Pros version.

Pros:

Amazing UI and experience on both Mac and iPhone/iOS. Decent price point in comparison to other PMPs. Great workflow for housekeeping and customer communications.Good integration with smart pricing affiliates.

Cons:

Missing a ton of features (included in Guesty for Pros) so much that I had to leave the platform after a brief period. Terrible website templates. No customer invoicing which is key for direct booking. Although nice, customer service takes a minimum of 24 hours to reply to any question. No way to pay more $$ and upgrade to Guesty for Pros.Very little OTA channel connectivity options. Cannot pay for Guesty for Pros upgrade or modules.

Reasons for choosing Guesty Lite

I originally chose it because of their amazing user interface. I have now left it due to its severe lack of functionality and features. Guesty for Hosts is severely dumbed down to the point of unusability in many workflows. Very sad since it has such potential.

Reasons for switching to Guesty Lite

Tokeet is an amazing platform, with great and timely support channels. They do need to do some work on their UI, and APIs to channels. I still use it for their amazing Webready website builder, which means I still have Tokeet on the backend for Invoice processing and basic direct channel communications. The pricing is great, so no issues there.I am leaving Guesty for Hosts today as they simply are too basic for even a single vacation rental who's host is fairly technical. As I mentioned before, I wish they would allow me to use Guesty for Pros, as that is the platform to really be on for anyone wanting a full PMP with great UI.

Vendor Response

Hi Adam, Thank you for your detailed feedback. I am sorry to hear about your experience with Guesty for Host. I would like to redirect this review to the relevant people at Guesty for Host. Are you able to send me your email so that I can begin this process for you? Thank you

Reasons for switching to Guesty Lite

Lodgify advertised everything but lacked the depth of Lodgify. For example, with YourPorter, you can schedule automated messages any day, any time. With Lodgify, you're set to their schedule. YourPorter also exports full details to iCal so I can integrate with Zapier and my Rental Lock Automator. Lodgify's iCal export has so little data, it's basically useless.
