Futurestay simplifies my life

I am just getting started putting up my first listing on Airbnb and wasn't sure if I would need software in order to keep it connected to my website. I signed up for the Futurestay free trial and it was quite easy to set up a sync between my website calendar and my listing. The entire process took less than 10 minutes and I realized that I could just create a website directly through Futurestay instead, and not have to pay separate hosting fees. It also looks better than my old site, and is connected to Google. Overall, works well and would recommend to anyone just starting out.

I see a 4 (out of 5) star setting for our Customer Support. Please feel free to reach out to me directly at Roberta@Futurestay.com with any feedback you may have on how our team member(s) can achieve a 5-star rating on their service. As a newbie to the industry, we’d also love to hear more feedback from you on any challenges you have as you settle into your Rentalpreneur title (in our dashboard, on AirBNB, or with the industry in general). Feel free to reach out to the team at Service@Futurestay.com, to your dedicated Account Manager, or directly to me at any time. Roberta

Pros:

I enjoyed the ease of use and being a one stop shop for everything I needed to manage the rental. I needed to get the rental together in a hurry and it was nice to have stripe, and iCal connected so I didnt have to mess with any extra apps or steps. It was great how quick it was to get paid too.

Cons:

I was a bit confused on getting everything connected at first.

Vendor Response

Hi Elizabeth, Thank you for taking the time to share your recent onboarding experience with Futurestay (and welcome to the world of Rentalpreneurship!) I see you went down our automated path (importing from AirBNB) which allowed you to create your account and launch your new website within 6 minutes. I have to agree with you - setting up iCal connections is my least favorite thing to do! We’re going to take a look at this process and do our best to clarify the guidelines for other sites. I appreciate that feedback. Next up - it looks like you and your Account Manager haven’t had an in-person meeting yet. While onboarding is automated, the service provided by our team is very personal. I’d love to hear more from you after you’ve had your one-on-one meeting. Roberta

Oh Boy.....if your time is valuable I just want to say Host Beware!!

Horrible no personal contact which is so frustrating. Automated systems cannot do everything you need human contact to truly run a business well.

Pros:

I didn't use it at all because it wasn't what I had thought that it was supposed to be when I initiated the account.

Cons:

I was unable to cancel it before I got started since it wasn't something that I was needing.

Reasons for choosing Futurestay

I didn't I only began the sign-up process but after I hit that button to sync it messed up my entire account & I cannot reach anyone to fix it. I knew within 5 minutes it was a mistake and I hit cancel but now it has been 3 days. I can't get a response from anyone at Futurestay to give me back control of my calendar and guest are upset because they are attempting to book their stays unsuccessfully..... The fine print came after the sync of course & not when it is the goal to cancel you are in the dead zone no return calls, return emails or link to just simply hit cancel. BTW I didn't use it whatsoever but to be able to submit this review I had to mark a category.

Vendor Response

Hi Lisa, Thank you for taking the time to document your experience with our Legacy platform and staff. I joined Futurestay in 2023 as the Head of Operations and have instilled a customer first approach with our new teams and platform. Among the many changes here are our new (empowered) Account Managers as well as a new platform with Host Dashboard (including the ability to disconnect from a partner or cancel your Futurestay subscription. I’ve read through your 3/21/22 emails, and would like to apologize for the service you received. It should not take 3 emails in one day to cancel an account! We believe Futurestay 3.0 offers a significantly better experience, and would like to extend an offer to see our new system. Please feel free to email me at Roberta@Futurestay.com if you would like to share more on your earlier experience, or if your needs have changed and you’d like to hear about our new software and team.

Ok channel manager - you need to do all the work yourself with little oversight.

not too pleasant. I used for two years and had about 20 Airbnb reservations. I switched to a different channel manager and in less than 30 days I have already masses over 280 Airbnb reservations. I do not believe they did it correctly.

Functionality

Pros:

It was supposed to make managing rental properties on multiple platforms seamless. They have the potential to do that well, but do not have the resources to work things out in a timely manner.

Cons:

Terrible customer support. It seemed as though I was getting my properties and account setup quickly until multiple things I asked for help with were never responded to. I emailed multiple times within a months timeframe, and still didn't get a response from my Futurestay contact. Then I opted to just deactivate my account and use another service that is more reliable and after calling I and confirming over the phone that I wanted my account deactivated, I was told they would call me back by the end of day or the next day but didn't hear back from them again for another week when I reached out again. Now after calling to deactivate for the second time, it is over a week later and I have still not heard from them again.

Reasons for choosing Futurestay

It seemed like a practical option that would suit all of my needs. I was mistaken though and would gladly pay more to have real customer service..

Best Vacation Rental Management System

Overall, from Free vacation/property management systems that I tested and tried out this is the one I use now for myself and recommend everyone to try out. This is perfect for those that just started renting on Airbnb, Booking, TripAdvisor or already have few properties under their belt. They also work on new features and improve the existing ones which is a big plus. Futurestay answers phone calls and emails, very responsive and helpful. This was a strong point for me switching and staring using Futurestay instead of all the others!

Functionality

Pros:

- Free Channel Manager & Distribution for Airbnb, Booking and Home Away Family (over 30 sites). Distribute your properties to multiple platforms. 2 Way Calendar Synchronization for the main Platforms and iCal option for any other you have. - Automatic Import of existing listings without. They will create listings for you if you don't have existing ones. - Payment Processing - Charge your Booking.com & HomeAway guests for booking and get money 20-30days before they even check-in! - Free Vacation Rental Website with payment integration. -FREE - Its totally free, you don't pay anything, they just add 5% on top of your desired listing price and when somebody books they see the final price. Example: you want to get clean 50e on Airbnb, you put 52e to account for Airbnb fee, Futurestay adds 5% on top of 52 which is 2.6 and the final listing price that is shown to guests is 55e. -Support - Best customer support I saw from any of the Vacation Rental Management Systems. They answer phone calls and emails, very responsive and helpful. - Constantly improving and adding new features

Cons:

The only Con I can think of is the lack of more Channel Distributions, but more will come in future!
