Hostfully solves to important business problems: provides all the important information about the vacation rental and the surrounding area, and allows us to collect emails for future marketing.

Owner

They even have analytics to see how your Guidebooks are performing.

I would not know how to being to create my own, so I would have to pay someone to create one for me.

Marketing Manager

Ability to keep information organized as "cards" and then use the cards multiple ways, and update them individually when necessary, it great.

Head Sloth

The absolute best thing is being able to start with one guidebook for free which allows you to get a feel for the software to see if it works for you first.  

There is nothing that I dislike about these guidebooks.

This guidebook is a great way to show my guests everything they need to know about my property, as well as my recommendations for things to do nearby.  

Logical layout, and it combines property-specific information with general area information, while leaving you in control.

Director of Marketing

We can also use the print option-which we do-to have laminated copies in our homes.  

Owner 

The guidebook provides my guests with access to loads of useful info before and during their stay.

CTO Integrator

Can't stand that when you add a Recommendation card it automatically goes to the top and pushes other recommendations down.

We have used Hostfully as our online and printed guidebook platform since we started renting our condo five years ago.

There is no need to rewrite a manual as you can easy select which items you would like to use for the different properties.

We have to manually rearrange all of our books each time a new recommendation is added :-(

I like that it is an easy way to create and share house rules, check-in information, property specific info.  

This is not a fault of Hostfully but more of the rules when third part booking sites like VRBO interact with them.

My guests love the Guidebbok and hve been using it for information about the house and activities in the area

It serves as a house manual, as well as a guidebook for our recommendations for the area.

Owner/Operator

It can seem busy with the multiple icons and house rules.

I understand the chat section and how the "Help" works now, but at the time, it was not as obvious and frustrating at times.  

I created my guidebook when it was a free feature, and now it costs money.

I wish it were easier to create a guidebook in Spanish for non-native English speakers.

I can have videos for instructions to my guests.

Owner/Host

I am also encouraging them to share it with friends as a marketing tool for myself and as a way for them to share their experience in Colorado and encourage their friends and family to enjoy the same great experience they had.

If you prefer something slightly better and more control with the interface, then this might not be the product you would like.

Can be sent in advance of stay so that the guest is better prepared.

It would be nice if the address/images would autopopulate

It took a bit of time to set up but once it was done it’s super easy to add or modify the information.

I like that it is an easy link to share with guests and they can access it from anywhere.

It helps our team communicate and work together.

Vacation Rental Manager

The house manual section could use more organizing with sub categories. When you get a lot of manuals, things can get lost.

Real Estate Strategist

I have fewer guest questions to answer as a result.

Love that it adds the map and all the information is right there.

Gets a bit cumbersome with a lot of recommendations.

Property Manager

It's better than the old paper guidebook, more modern.

Host/Manager

Hostfully is an easy to use product, perfect for our need for a vacation rental guidebook.

It really is easy to use, but some folks may prefer a bit more hand holding by Mr. Obvious when going through the process.

Filling out all the information and not knowing exactly what I was doing.

We are very happy with the the Guidebooks and find it very helpful even for our staff.

President

Sometimes older guests don't understand how to use them.

Getting started is easy and the system is fairly customizable.

It’s been an easy way to offer the amenity to guests.

On contacting customer service they informed me why.

You’re able to provide a low cost professional guidebook with recommendations, how to videos and lots more.

The easy way of setting the system up and to update

We do own more properties and it is great to have this tool.

We have the paid version as we have several properties - we love it's ease for guests, the layout is user friendly and for us it is easy to add to and distribute.
