Pros / Cons
  • Guesty for Hosts powerful all in one tool makes things simple for managing guest messages, income reports, and more.
  • It often doesn't load, it doesn't tie my listings into the right place sometimes, notifications to the cleaners don't go out more than they do go out, the support is atrocious takes week and sometimes months to get back to you (3 months is my record for a reply)

  • The automated messaging, calendar syncing, and channel management tools work smoothly together, which makes day-to-day property management much more efficient.
  • Also, the VRBO integration had bugs and issues and did not work for about 3 weeks to connect, during that time we had a double booking and had to cancel on a guest for a reservation over the Thanksgiving Day weekend.
