Pros

“From guest communication and smart lock integrations to custom financial reporting for my CPA, OwnerRez has the flexibility to truly fit the way my business operates instead of forcing me into a typical cookie-cutter system. But what truly sets OwnerRez apart is the customer service.”

Cherie L.

Founder

“The versatility of the system and the knowledge and helpfulness of the staff, and the fact that I can consolidate my efforts into one system that does all of the dirty work for me.”

Trey S.

Owner

“Built-in housekeeping was also retired, so for cleaning schedules you'll connect a tool like Turno or Breezeway, or use OwnerRez's notification triggers to message your cleaners.”

Arthur B.

Owner

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

“You’ll have to message & hope for a response within an hour to 24 hours, depending on the time of day.”

Shevawn A.

Owner

Cons

“When we shifted from strictly individual bookings to small retreats, some of the bells and whistles that Owner Rez can deliver, didn't really apply to us and once or twice I had a need that was just too outside the box for them.”

Sandra C.

Partner

“The learning curve is extremely, extremely steep to the point of being overwhelming. While I do think it's worth it in the end, I would estimate that it took 30-40 hours or concerted effort to just learn the software and get everything running the way it needed to run.”

Adam M.

Manager

“Lack of mobile app, lack of native AI to help increase the speed in which hosts can respond to ad-hoc messages.”

Kareem G.

Founder

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. ”
