Donald T.

“Love the need updates and the easy access to customer service”
TN

Tiffanie N.

Spa manager

Pros

“She took the time to walk us through the entire setup process for our property listings and made sure everything was connected properly across all major booking platforms, including Airbnb, VRBO, and Booking.com.”
HH

Hans H.

Owner

“It helps prevent double bookings, keeps calendars updated automatically, and simplifies the entire management process.”
HH

Hans H.

Owner

“Unlike many other platforms that provide instant access, Hostaway requires you to move through several stages: an initial call with a sales representative, signing the paperwork, and then scheduling onboarding sessions. Because each step involves booking time with different teams, the full process took about two weeks.”
PS

Philip S.

Partner

Cons

“Limited connections to other tools, making it harder to sync calls with appointments”

Nikita V.

Marketing Manager CRM

“Lack of POS integration, our business is moving to sell more onsite with our guests, pre gratuity is huge in our space and XOLA lacks features for pre gratuity except to do an ADD on which auto charges taxes and the booking fee on gratuity.”
AO

“I can only imagine the challenges of working with this customer service representative.”

Liliia H.

Cons

“There were some integration issues with our current online booking platform that created some discrepancies which was troubling, although their tech support was quick in responding to the issue.”
Verified reviewer profile picture

Robin S.

Owner

“Some clunky features, some info not clear on what exports to which fields in the platforms, and some api limitations”
PH

Peter H.

Owner

“During our initial implementation, the system was not configured correctly, which caused availability to be displayed when the homes were actually unavailable.”
