Properly Software

Pros

someone who is a host who needed this clearly created it for other hosts in need

Cons

found it challenging making instructional lists

It's helping the team produce better results, faster.

Pros

As a growing cleaning company, we needed a software that decreased the ramp up time for new cleaners, allows homeowners the transparently they wanted, and made coordinating with property managers easier. Properly is the only app that can do all that.

Cons

It's pricey, but we're confident that the value is there and it's worth it.

Saved time managing the cleaners for my properties.

Pros

Let's you see all of your AirBnb cleanings in one place. Saves time by having cleaners follow interactive cleaning guides during cleanings.

Cons

Would be nice to have an auto unschedule a cleaner so you don't have to go into the calendar to cancel.

Pros

It helps us easily schedule and systematize our cleans and inspections. This makes running our business easier and more efficient.

Cons

There is not a lot to complain about. They do great customer service. We wish you could further police the check in check out but it works for now.

Pros

1. Fantastic customer service
2. Easy to use product
3. Makes our life super easy regarding scheduling cleans
4. Fast syncing with our booking platform

Cons

Would like to be able to add inventory items and record usage in this application, so our cleaners can report the linen they use.

Pros

I like that so much of Properly is automatic. Having the calendar automatically sync means we won't miss cleans.

Cons

Getting large enough to warrant this type of software means that there is so much data input needed before starting. This took a long time (weeks).

Ability to find cleaners that understand short term rental turnover service.

Pros

I love that this program has a lot of cleaners to choose from, and the list is growing. I also love that they can upload photos of their completed work.

Cons

I really wish there were more cleaners in my immediate area, hopefully that will improve in time or with more advertising. But the biggest downfall is that I can't pay cleaners directly through the program.

Helped provide a valuable resource in property turnover services

Pros

The help staff is great, the checklist idea is also really well thought out. The site is a valuable resource to property owners using short-term rental services.

Cons

Inability to pay providers in-app is a problem. Also, when a provider texted me through the app, it was confusing for me as I didn't know if I was talking to someone at Properly or to the actual provider.

I received the ability to organize my cleaning crew, and assign different condos to different workers. Very valuable to my sanity!

Pros

I like that it is concise, and very customisable. I can take pictures of areas which require extra attention from my housekeepers.

Cons

So many features, that at first, it feels overwhelming to learn. Rep at Support was great! I could have saved myself some work, if I had contacted Support first!

Pros

Really has made a big difference in my vacation rental property company. I couldn't do it without this software

Cons

I would like some more recommendations on how I can better use the software. Overall the product is pretty good

On a high level it revoluntionized our workflow for our HR functions. In the hospitality space HR is very unique because it is dependent on volume. This has been the best way to schedule and maintain our cleaning staff. It just WORKS!

Pros

This automates and tracks so many functions of running an in house (or out of house) cleaning staff! Not only that, but their function for pictures has saved us THOUSANDS of dollars on insurance claims. We love Properly and it is an integral part of our business!

Cons

sometimes glitches when setting up a new employee. Also in small markets, their marketplace doesn't have significant offerings.

Pros

I like that I can create visual templates of the cleaning that needs to be done. I do like much of the interface.

Cons

Having to pay for separate properties, not as many features as desired, etc.. (And I can't edit my personal info below; organization is "Greenville Mouse House.")

meeting my housekeeper for my airbnb

Pros

I love it's functionality and ease of use. Properly introduced me to my housekeeper that is bonkers good!

Pros

The image based checklists really set it apart! (Filling in character min requirement here...which is strange for a survey, in my opinion)

organizes my daily schedule

Pros

Clean and simple interface. One location to see daily activity regardless of platform. Saves having to open different applications. Set up cleaning schedule and forward request to cleaning freelancers.
Easy to use. Reminders for cleaning scheduling.

Cons

Wish it would warn me when I am duplicating the property. (I do it often)
Would like to have a link to the guest directly on Properly.

It changed my Life!!!

Pros

The Properly , and specifically my cleaning team are simply a Lifesaver. I can now have a peace of mind and travel all over the world, knowing my house will be in perfect shape for the next AirbandB guest. Thank you so much..

Pros

As I live 250 miles from my property being able to see when cleaners check in and out and also see photos of their work is awesome.

Pros

I like how intuitive and easy it is to build the checklists for properties. Then all the info is there for cleaners so it's a no brainier even if they are new to your property. I like the convenience of both an app and desktop version.

Cons

We have had some issues with bookings not coming through from our property management software but they have been resolved. If anything it has too many features.

Quickly and easily schedule and follow up with our entire cleaning calendar.

Pros

Ease of use.

Notifications of problems.

Very easy to integrate and edit new properties.

I love the calendar view. It's quick and easy to see all our properties.

Cons

I wish there was an option for us to send a notification through the app to other users. For example: I noticed there's a missed cleaning for tomorrow, I want to be able to tag a Properly user, they receive a notification, and they schedule a job.

Cancelled jobs really clutter up the screen. It's an aesthetics thing, so minimal but makes everything look clustered up.

Other than that, it's great!

I suggest adding a big warning/ flashy light if there's a missed cleaning after a guest checks out.

Pros

good syncing with airbnb, and picture and some details. Good to have listing and picture checklist, but still too complicated for owner or cleaner to check off everything, it delays the cleaning efficiency

Cons

Overloaded with too many check in check out, should only be check out that is on the app. No calender, app crashes all the time, just not professionally built.
Most importantly, too expensive for just small airbnb users, or even heavy users who has multiple listings, for that amount of money I would make my own app in India already
