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

“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

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

Claudia M.

Property Manager

Pros

“What I like least about Hostfully is that some useful features still feel a bit limited or could be more flexible — for example, the stay dates still appear only in English in the variables, we have to manually change it in each message; it’s also currently impossible to assign a new booking to a returning guest without re-entering all their details; there are quite a few duplicates, and the system doesn’t consolidate similar inquiries from the same person.”

Nathalie P.

President

Idk what the issue is, but I don’t have to “update my browser, clear my cookies or my cache” with ANY OTHER APP or SOFTWARE I use.

Shevawn A.

Owner

“We were looking for a PMS that would be easy to implement, integrate with all of our booking platforms (AirBnB, VRBO, Booking.com) and be cost-effective. ”

Michael R.

Owner operator

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

“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.”

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.”

Manuel M.

CEO

Cons

“Idk why I should have to clear my data every other week so that Hostfully will work, when I don’t need to do this for ABB, VRBO, Stripe, Pricelabs, QB, AWS, Google, etc. And when a guest texts me that my guidebook link is broken, I need to be able to talk to someone.”

Shevawn A.

Owner

“It's inconvenient to sign onto the browser on my phone, find the tabs to navigate, then cancel a scheduled message.”

Kelsey J.

Property Manager

“You double space after the end of a sentence and it sends &nspc after each period; It doesn't have a sort system to show you outstanding balances or pending transactions so you don't know who to follow up with; and there are problems every single day trying to do basic things that the system will not do. ”
