Lodgify Software

Pros

Easy to use, value for money, many ad ons, functions that No other has, free Web page and many modern designs

Cons

Customer support takes to long. Even it has many languages, some thing are still missing translation. Missing raporting

I make money and it helps me organise all my rentals

Pros

It covers everything I need but still keeps it simple to use. It provides great customisation options but it makes it easy to follow standard automated work flows too.

Cons

It's not the cheapest but you get what you pay for. It would also be great if they had a fully functional mobile app but the do provide calendar and reservations on mobile.

Connectivity

Pros

The support and connectivity. Ease at communicating globally. I have attracted people through the website I have developed and marketed with Lodgify.

Cons

Finding how I enter quotes. I found the old website easier to use. It is not as intuitive as I would like.

Most of my needs for my requirements.

Pros

easy to set up and understanding of the calendar perfect especially the upgraded calendar. I have used other hostings in the past but i can say Lodgify offers me most of my needs and ideas.

Cons

unable to offer individual customers discounts other than those quoted on my rates. It would be nice if I could offer a particular customer a particular price. maybe I can but don't know to do it.

Pros

1 The software is designed to enable beautiful presentation of vacation property
2 Your website security is protected
3 Capability of the software is rich
4 You don't need to have a lot of IT knowledge to build a website using this software
5 Important features are mobile booking and accepting payments

Cons

1 It requires knowledge of using widgets. Not having prior knowledge, it took a long time for me to grasp the building concepts. If you want a comprehensive website, it'll take a lot more than 2 weeks to build
2 The software is still being refined
3 A built website is useless unless it is search engine optimised. The software assumes that the novice builder will quickly develop SEO skills which is unrealistic

Pros

Good value. Good user interface with renter. Easy to post photos and property description. Great way to book people that manage to find you on the web.

Cons

No way to ask customer for a review on your property. They need to write it to you on an email and you need to cut and paste it yourself into your review interface. Not able to request payment manually. You need to do all your own SEO, this is not a marketplace like Home Away, it's just a platform for you to use to easily and effectively set up your own website.

Pros

Easy to set up. Plug your info into pre-built or customized templates and you've got a professional website that works extremely well. They have a great availability calendar, detailed breakdown of rates & fees for inquiring guests, canned e-mail response notes, credit card payment system, review submission page, SEO configuration page, and a knowledge base page that provides answers to many questions. Their customer support team is phenomenal. If you can't reach them right away, rest assured, they will return your call or reply to your email. Every support specialist that I dealt with was polite and helpful. By the time you add third party widgets to non-specific website builders (date-pickers, availability calendars, payment systems, price quotes, etc..) you will have spent more money and the functionality could be questionable. I know because I did it. Lodgify is a true vacation rental booking software system with an all-in-one solution

Cons

Slightly difficult to navigate when you first use it, but it becomes easier to use as you familiarize yourself with it.

Pros

Quick to get up and running. Simple to set up. I do not have a background in IT and found it very straightforward to set up and my website was up and running in days. If I had a query the customer support received was outstanding.

Good presentation of my business, possibility for direct bookings, saved a lot of time due to automatic synching of properties' availability

Pros

Very easy to use - even for not expert users, Variety of templates, Perfect synchronisation with major rental websites

Cons

No cons really. I would just like to have a more expanded list of major websites with 2 way synching and in the future not only for calendar. :-)

Much better presentation of our rental house + better organization to manage booking.

Pros

Overall the absolute best vacation rental app. Staff is very helpful ! I definately recommend using this Cloud software if you rent our a vacation house. It will definately help you provide a great user experience.

Pros

The messages system and the intuitive layout. The mobile version also works wonderfully. We work both with Mac and PC without problems. I have no complaints of the daily function of the software so far.

Cons

If you create 2 rooms of the same type you won't have them outlined in different occupation lines, so you need to create both rooms separately if you really want to see directly which one is busy which dates.

Post the excellent support in starting up, the support function was at first "spotty" with inconsistent and sometimes delayed follow-up, to now, after 5 months of use, it has become "diabolical"! I have been trying to solve a problem with Googoe Analytics for 10 weeks. Today, with no answer to my last plea for help, after 5 weeks. I am beginning to question whether Lodgify is now as bad as VRBO et al in it's attitude towards customers.

Pros

Software is good, if a little slow on Ipad.

Cons

The support function is deteriorating by the week - now diaboilcal!

I think your product is pretty good! That said I was promised support for building my web page. Which for me was important due to how busy I am so I paid for hte product. Since then I have not had the level support I would expect to help me launch my site. An example I sent my logo twice and the old one is still there. I need alterations done because I found the size to be small. I have asked for advice on what I should add to make my site a better and so far I have little feed back. I think your product is good and I am sure that the person helping me is just really busy with tons of clients. But, I need support so I can launch. I am getting frustrated.

Pros

good platform

Cons

Support is lacking

We decided to rent out our Croatian stone house a little more than two years ago and surveyed the available options for website development and especially those that focused on property owners. It didn't take long for us to sign up with Lodgify. And, importantly, it didn't take long to create and populate our site with text, photos and all the info that a prospective guest wants to know. Useful and attractive templates, web hosting, domain flexibility as well as timely user support. I have interacted with staff a number of times over the past two years and have always been satisfied with the advice and problem-solving. This review is not like those where someone has purchased a product and is reviewing it based on what was received years ago - Lodgify has added great features to their program, including easy to use mobil templates, HTTPS, easy calendar sharing among the top rental sites such as Booking.com, etc. Clients can participate in webinars and read the latest in market promotion tips. We've had two great summers of rentals here thanks to Lodgify.

Pros

Professional , flexible and easy to use at a great price point.

Cons

Hmm, nothing really comes to mind.

Advice to Others

Property owner needs to provide only photos, prices and text to populate the template. No need for website development expense.

I started working on my site a couple of months ago and fair to say that what took me weeks and weeks to do elsewhere, took me 2 days to do on lodgify. Customer support representative, from sales, also super girl customer service extraordinarily really made my dream come true, with customer service and technical support/skills I couldn't have imagined in the best of dreams. She understood and analysed my existing site and graciously explained the differences and benefits that I would have, held me by the hand (metaphorically speaking) and took me step by step when necessary as the tool is very easy to use. She has been right throughout and present every time I've needed her... I feel SUPPORTED every single step of the way. Am so glad to actually get real proper support by a real person who actually cares. I'm also exited that the platform's team is always trying to be better by adding extra bits and pieces and all I could wish for now is that I had found Lodgify 2 months ago, my life would definitely had been a lot easier, but perhaps, I may not have appreciated it so much as I do now after walking through the valleys of complicated web tools, systems and platforms. My life is easier, I have a lot less to learn and manage, i have support I can count on and a lot more time on my hands to work on other areas such as social media, I don't have to worry about a huge list of things, so it's worth paying monthly, I can go to sleep like a baby knowing that my money is well spent on a platform that is constantly improving. 5 stars for the system and 5 stars for her (Customer support representative), badass technical support angel!

Lodgify has been a great experience for us to get a website up and running cheaply and easy to maintain. We have gotten many bookings from the website and are very pleased with the results. Easy to upload pics and information and to take a booking.

Pros

The ease in updating the site and accepting bookings.

Cons

When they change or update it, it takes a bit to figure out the differences and how to work them.

Advice to Others

Wish there was an app that would give me a notice on my phone when we receive a booking request.

Lodgify has been godsend to me in managing my vacation rental. The website was easy to customize and looks very professional. You can't go wrong for the money. The flat fee with no percentage taken is much better than VRBO and others like it in my opinion. They have experienced some growing pains with website updates and the such but the customer service is right on it when I have an issue. The default is European date format but they were able to accommodate the format for the US. Thanks Lodgify team.

Pros

easy to set up and runs flawlessly

Cons

not being able to select the date format like you can select the currency and it is harder to customize pricing and cancellation policy

I found setting up my rental website a breeze and have had MANY positive comments on it.
The BEST thing about Lodgify is the customer support..it is beyond excellent. They are always there to help and answer promptly. Great product.

Pros

Ease of use and customer support

Over the years we have had a very good relation with all the people of Lodgify. They always are very fast and helpful trying to solve problems or improve our web-site in general.

Very good customer service and always there when u want it!
I can recomment to my friends!!

Thank you for looking us!!
