Pros

“The 2FA security codes only get sent to our main email address. When different staff members at different desks need to log in to check guests in, we have to wait on whoever has access to that inbox to send us the code.”

Jacalyn F.

Sales

“Everything is connected in a way that actually makes sense operationally — from reservations and channel management to payments and reporting — which removes a lot of the friction that hospitality teams usually deal with across multiple systems.”

Eric H.

Owner

“The booking management is great, and I particularly like the "Whistle for CB" feature, which keeps me and my guests connected at all times.”

Nicole S.

Hospitality Director

Pros

“I mainly use it to centralize bookings, manage cleaners/cleaning times, automate guest messages, and streamline the check-in/check-out process.”

Jubril B.

Consultant

“Price optimizer could be built out more to include orphan gaps and other specifics. But I am sure they are looking at it.”

Zach V.

CEO

“Often when editing current reservations or updating blocked out dates, it takes a few hops, skips, and jumps to get the task accomplished.”

Albron H.

President

Cons

“Every issue gets funneled into endless tickets, bots, and dead-end emails. If you actually need support to run your business, look elsewhere, Cloudbeds disappears the moment you need them most. ”

Cameron M.

CEO

“Each reservation coming from an OTA has pending balances (we are on Channel Connect) which isn't good for our book keeping.”

Kenji I.

“As soon as a thing is more than a basic problem they do not know how to handle it, create a ticket and that ticket gets succed into a black hole of non existent technical support.”

Henk B.

Owner

Cons

“Seems subscription cost for smaller hosts is more pricey as compared to their enterprise solution?”

Jubril B.

Consultant

“It messed up my listings 3x and said I had way more beds (like 16 or 18 per property, when it only has 3-4, and said it only had 1 bathroom instead of 2-3).”

Rachel D.

Owner

“However, I was managing my 40 properties through another PMS, and everything was working perfectly with Airbnb, proving this excuse was not valid. Despite knowing they had failed to deliver on their promises, Guesty charged me $1,000 for an onboarding that never happened.”

Diego R.

CTO
