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."”
SV

Susan V.

Owner

“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.”
MM

Manuel M.

CEO

“The platform provides a centralized system where we can handle reservations, guest communication, pricing, and channel management all in one place.”
CM

Claudia M.

Property Manager

Pros

“Within "All Reservations" "Check In" reports, I wish it would show what the balance is, not just "Partially Paid" and the due dates, instead of having to completely open each reservation. ”
BW

Barbara W.

Vacation Rental Manager

“I have been in Vacation Rentals for 30+ years, worked in many softwares and Kigo is by far the quickest and easiest to learn and teach someone to navigate to get daily task completed. Once you learn the basics of where to find what, it makes the "back side" of the software more understandable.”
BW

Barbara W.

Vacation Rental Manager

“There was one Reservations’ calendar on KIGO, another on KIGOPRO, an Overview under Operations, another Overview under Schedule and so on… No availability search option on the main RESERVATIONS’ Calendar.”
FZ

Flavia Z.

Owner/ 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.”
CF

Christopher F.

General Manager

“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.”
KV

Kaylyn V.

AGM

“I added guesty accounting and it has not worked for me. Since I live in mexico, it is not an option to add multiple taxes and I have not been able to automize my owner reports.”
MM

Manuel M.

CEO

Cons

“I was genuinely shocked at how aware they are this software doesn't work, but bill you so far above and beyond what you signed and agreed to. When you question it, expect to be hung up on.”
MR

Matthew R.

CEO

“All the photos online are not display as original size and quality and give a very poor basic kigo website”
KP

Katty P.

Owner

“Tracking for ads doesn't work well because we can't put a tag on the check-out page.”
