Hostaway has truly made our operations much more efficient compared to other systems we’ve used. The platform is incredibly user-friendly, intuitive, and easy to navigate, making it simple for our team to learn and manage daily tasks with confidence. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Long wait time calling tech support. I think its better if we can reach them without delay Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like that Hostaway is very comprehensive and helps get onto Google Apartments, which can be difficult to do by yourself. I also appreciate the cookie-cutter website they built for direct bookings, which lets me avoid short-term leasing host charges like Airbnb's 15%. This makes it possible to offer guests a cheaper stay while ensuring my place is still rented out. The onboarding process with Tomas Ravina was very smooth, and he did an excellent job explaining each step, making the whole setup less overwhelming- as there is just a ton to get set up- there's nothing you can do about that. It just has to get done. I think some pre-printed pamphlets or literature with screenshots of the site or mobile app would be nice. If Hostaway hires me for the educational/training department, I'd love to make these for them! lol Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I think some of the calendar features don't update or sync quite as readily, and I noticed that the mobile app has a million updates every single time, and so I miss notifications because I don't have the newest update from this morning type of thing. I also understand that somethings can't be integrated perfectly (e.g. some updates to bookings.com). Again, there should be some pre-printed pamphlets or "study material" that hosts can reference for things like this. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Warren Figueroa was a super awesome help for onboarding and made the initial setup super easy. I feel like it will definitely make managing all the different platforms more direct and easy. I really like the calendar feature and how I can make edits to a listing and push it out to all the different platforms. The financial dashboard is valuable for tracking progress and assessing how we're doing on a business level. It's very cohesive. Tasks can be shared with the cleaning crew, and aspects like insurance and smart locks are streamlined through Hostaway. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I think it would be cool to see when a guest reads the message. That would be helpful. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I really value Hostaway for its simplicity in the setup and use of tools, which is a huge time-saver for me. It helps me cut down on time spent going back and forth with guests and eliminates the need to access each individual platform for hosting. Everything is managed in one place, allowing me to track performance easily across multiple platforms. This tool is simple, easy, and has become an essential part of my workflow for managing eight listings. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Probably the integration with Booking.com could be better. The ability to manage all the same things I can manage on Airbnb, VRBO, etc on Hostaway isn't the same on Booking.com. I still have to manually change pictures and certain other things directly on Booking.com. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The ease of navigation and customer support, especially from my account manager and customer success, has been amazing. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I can’t really think of any downsides right now. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like how Hostaway's menu and platform are straightforward and easy to navigate, which saves me time and makes it easier to access things quickly. It's great that it offers customization options, allowing me to tailor the platform to my specific needs and company size, making it suitable for a variety of users. The initial setup was very easy, and the onboarding experience was great, with my onboarding specialist Mateo being very helpful and knowledgeable. I appreciate the increased customization offered by Hostaway, which was a deciding factor for switching from another product. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I think the UI is a bit primitive compared to the compettition. It might not be as straightforward as other platforms. The phone app doesn't have a lot of features, including financial reporting and owner statements, or the ability to log expenses. These are very important to me because they'd save a lot of time. I would love to have financial analytics available on the app, rather than only on the desktop. It's surprising that Hostaway doesn't have them as other property management software apps do. It does create more work for me. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Bryann, my onboarding specialist, has been amazing, making the initial setup very easy and seamless. His patience in teaching me about all the technological things I don't usually understand has been extremely valuable. I find the automatic messaging feature wonderful, and the locks feature is fantastic. The ability to input door codes and the automations with AI responses are amazing, making me happy with the software and inclined to recommend it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The pricing dynamic is absolutely terrible. I would like to see a better pricing software. It's not really a pricing software at all. It's actually just a really terrible addition because it doesn't work. I would like to see a little bit more ease of use as far as the formulas. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I think Hostaway is a great product. You get a lot of bang for your buck for the price. It's very effective, and I wouldn't be able to run my business as efficiently as I am without it. I like that it has all the tools or most of the tools I need for my business, keeping my tech stack pretty efficient and clean. I'm not bolting on a thousand programs to the back of it, and it handles about 80% of the heavy lifting of my business. The listing editor is great, and the sync works really well. The owner statements and financial formulas work really well and are really clean. I also find the initial setup easy because Hostaway set me up with a one-on-one guide and did the entire thing with me. I can't say enough good things about it; I couldn't run my business without it for sure. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It seems like over the last few months, they have maybe grown quite a bit or gotten rid of potentially some support people. The AI support bot has started to step in at least as a first responder, which does a decent enough job, but when you really need help and you need a person, especially a skilled person, it seems like the wait time for that has gotten quite a bit longer. I'll add a point of feedback to Hostaway, which is that I think that there should be a premium option for support where we pay, it could be a significant rate, like $100 an hour USD for high level support.

I really appreciate how Hostaway streamlines my operations and tasks while organizing all my rental bookings and data. I find the ease of use and user-friendly interface to be especially valuable. The onboarding process was smooth and helpful. The onboarding specialist (Mateo) answered all my questions and was very knowledgeable. Compared to other channel managers I've used, Hostaway's onboarding was straightforward, and the initial setup was very easy. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I wish all other booking platforms would integrate like Airbnb. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The robust API and seamless integration with third-party tools like PriceLabs make it a powerful 'source of truth.' I highly value the ability to manage complex pricing markups and availability across Airbnb, VRBO, and Booking.com from one central dashboard. But beyond the software itself, what really made the difference for us was the onboarding experience. Alma Gutierrez was phenomenal—she patiently answered all our questions and made what could have been a stressful transition incredibly smooth for our business. Her support is a huge asset to the company. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The platform has a significant learning curve due to its depth of features. Some pre-built automations could be beneficial. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
