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.”

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.”

Owner

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. ”

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.”

Barbara W.

Vacation Rental Manager

“the ease of creating a reservation and sending a quote and the link to pay”

Katty P.

Owner

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. ”

Tam L.

Owner

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.”

Matthew R.

CEO

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

Katty P.

Owner

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