Pros

“I like the interface and the have security deposits, cleaning, smart locks, client statement etc are all integrated within Uplisting without having to connect 3rd party apps.”

Rahul R.

Director

“Incorrect amenity icons and unlocalized spelling on the booking site.”

Ben S.

Co-founder

“Payment processing can do better specially the verifying of identity, this should come default and not extra feature that you need to pay. ”

Romina M.

Reservations Manager

Pros

Host Tools will work closely with you to analyze your current setup with another channel manager, set up everything for you (listings, calendars, message rules, locks, etc) and then get on an in-person call to go over everything so you can go “live” together.

Tracy O.

Owner

“I manage two short-term rentals in Warsaw and Host Tools quietly runs the parts I don't want to think about — guest messaging, calendar sync and smart lock codes across both listings.”

Michał S.

Owner

“The calendar sync, auto-pricing updates, message templating and auto scheduling, webhook automation ability, door code programming, and AI responses are all stellar and save me time and effort.”

Matt C.

Owner

Cons

“Combined with a slow, unhelpful customer support team and rigid, limited customization options, the cost savings do not justify the operational headaches.”

Ben S.

Co-founder

“To make matters worse, the support team is slow (taking hours or days to respond) and often copies and pastes the same generic responses without addressing the actual problem, while the tech team feels completely non-existent.”

Ben S.

Co-founder

“The calendar is glitchy, requires constant manual refreshes, and has poor visibility options.”

Ben S.

Co-founder

Cons

“Managing more than 15 listings at a time can quickly become overwhelming, especially when you’re juggling guest communication, bookings, scheduling, and all the day-to-day details that come with short-term rentals.”

Sharona D.

Property Manager

“Some of the competitors are only interested in serving multi-property clients, and they could care less about individual owners. ”
