Pros

“Etc. - Escapia connects with VRBO seamlessly which is our largest source of bookings and very well with our website which is our second largest source or bookings. ”

Mika G.

Owner Operator

“It ties in with the all Expedia products well and new software typically picks Escapia as one of the first PM management systems that they will API with.”

Lanier M.

Partner

“Being a small business owner and having to learn the majority of the 'nuts and bolts' in Escapia in order to run the business I will outline a few that I like about Escapia.”

Mika G.

Owner Operator

Pros

“Additionally, the seamless smart lock integration—which automatically generates a unique access code for every single guest—provides incredible peace of mind and makes check-in entirely hands-off."”

Susan V.

Owner

“The channel management, automated guest communication, reservation management and integrations are particularly useful for our daily operations.”

Lena H.

CEO

“What has been amazing for me is the owners portal were they can access their calendar, view reservations and block dates for personal use, this has given my company a great transparency view from their perspective.”

Manuel M.

CEO

Cons

“The reporting feature is slow and struggles to pull large amounts of historical data at once.”

Jessica E.

Operations Manager

“The only challenge with Escapia is occasional software updates that may affect functionality and existing data. ”

Carla A.

Vacation Property Management - Owner

“The review section, it doesnt allow me to send reminders or review requests.”

Jennifer C.

General Manager

Cons

“A few features are missing or limited for traditional hotel workflows—for example, you can’t easily hold back door codes for guests who haven’t submitted a credit card, and there’s no way to send an itemized line-item invoice; it has to go out as the full reservation balance.”

Christopher F.

General Manager

“Guesty does not have a open sandbox environment to allow developers make tests without affecting real data of our customers.”

Yolanda M.

Software Engineer

“The main drawback I’ve experienced is the amount of time it took to resolve a group billing issue—over three weeks. While the support team was polite and eventually resolved the problem, the delay impacted our workflow and created challenges for managing a time-sensitive reservation.”
