Rental Software

Nothing negative so far. It’s fairly simple to use overall, although I did need a bit of help setting up the website because that part is a little more complicated. My onboarding expert really helped me through all of it. The price feels fair, especially considering how much support they provide. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I was managing six properties that aren’t even in the same town, let alone the same country. I was trying to organise team members manually, one by one, while also keeping up with constant booking changes and the endless, repetitive questions that come with them. Quite frankly, things were getting missed. Hostaway has helped me streamline everything and has taken away a lot of the headache. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Moving from the free tier to a higher plan still involves a brief round of double-checking settings and team access. If you plan the timing of the upgrade, the transition tends to be smoother and reduces friction. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

We were hesitant to move away from spreadsheets because switching tools felt expensive and disruptive. The option to start small and upgrade only when our fleet justified it made the transition feel much more manageable. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

As with any technology platform, occasional issues may arise following software updates. While every update is thoroughly tested, some features may require minor adjustments once live. Rest assured, our support team is on hand and ready to respond quickly, ensuring any issues are resolved with minimal disruption. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The regular product updates clearly reflect customer feedback, and many of the day-to-day operational challenges we've raised have found their way into new features and improvements. It's refreshing to work with a company that genuinely listens to its customers rather than simply maintaining the status quo. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Mainly the Guest App which could have an integrated chat and more security protections. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

We found that Guesty unifies our systems like calendars and pricing, and its Price Optimizer eliminates the need for a Revenue Manager. It automatically detects events and adjusts rates, increasing revenue per night. It was crucial to switch from Little Hotelier due to technological advantages and demand peak detection.

I think Hospitable.com could be improved by adding a feature to temporarily delist a property on a particular booking page like booking.com and then, at a certain point, automatically relist the property. This would allow me to favor a particular property system over another, and as I get closer to a date when it needs to be occupied, it could then offer it to other portfolios. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I use Hospitable.com to manage my short-term rental properties. It centralizes bookings from platforms like Airbnb and Booking.com into one calendar, reducing the need to access multiple websites and simplifying my workflow. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The accounting aspect for service providers still lacks visibility and clarity. Cleaning agents do not have access to a summary dashboard with their completed, uncompleted tasks, and the associated amounts. As a result, they frequently send me invoices that do not always match the RentalReady schedule, which leads to unnecessary manual checks. A dedicated module or better tracking would greatly improve consistency and save everyone time. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

RentalReady allows me to solve several recurring issues in my business: managing booking flows, coordinating between owners, travelers, cleaning and maintenance teams, as well as centralizing information. I save time, avoid human errors, have a clear view of schedules, and my travelers automatically receive essential information, which greatly improves my satisfaction rate and overall rating.

Lodgify's software doesn't quite have the polish or reliability of a market leading PMS.

There are times when they are behind their competition in terms of necessary features. For example, when I first started using the tool there was no way to send an automated message to a guest immediately after they made their booking. You could only do automated messages for check in and check out. To their credit, this has since been remedied.

There are also commonly bugs/issues that impact my operations. Recently, there was a bug where the messaging tab did not display the name of the guest or any of the message history. It made it difficult to respond to guest messages. Once again, this has since been remedied. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Lodgify is a cost effective property management software for smaller, independent short term rental hosts. It helps me list my properties on multiple online travel agencies as well as accept bookings through a direct booking site. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

While Ciirus offers a variety of self-help resources, I often find that they don’t quite get me to the finish line. More often than not, I end up reaching out to a Ciirus rep for guidance—and honestly, that’s where the real value is. Their team is always helpful, knowledgeable, and quick to get me back on track. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

One of the biggest benefits for me is having all our reservation information in one place. It makes things so much easier—no more jumping between systems or digging through emails. Ciirus helps keep everything organized and accessible, which saves time and cuts down on mistakes. It’s just a smoother way to manage bookings and guest info. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I find that many features are only available in the premium option. For example, market data as a whole, at the city level for instance, and the creation of clear reports by property or by owner. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Beyond optimizes prices daily based on various factors, which increases revenue and saves time since we no longer need to manage pricing manually. Its ease of use and automation are appreciable. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Reporting and analytics are somewhat limited, and syncing between platforms can occasionally be delayed. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

iGMS solves the problem of handling multiple listings across different platforms by bringing everything into one system. Features like automated messaging, unified calendar, and task management reduce workload, improve efficiency, and help maintain a better guest experience. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I haven’t found anything that I dislike about it yet for my use cases. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I use Wheelhouse to manage short-term rental pricing and demand forecasting, adjusting prices dynamically based on market demand/other variables. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It is not the cheapest PMS in the market. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Even though I have had my property on Airbnb for three years now, when I first listed it as a short-term rental, I initially wanted to list it in multiple places, such as Vrbo and Booking.com. However, managing the different calendars and platforms proved too complicated. Hostfully solves all that and more. I am pleased with Hostfully and how it will help me expose my rental through the different rental aggregators Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

So far there has not been anything to dislike or complain about. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Great bang for your buck. The features are amazing. I'm not very techy and was able to get everything set up with their guidance. If you feel overwhelmed, just be patient and take it one step at a time and don't hesitate to contact support for guidance. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Streamlining my vacation rental calendar, listing details and everything else across the various vacation rental platforms where I advertise. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The main drawback is that Smily can require a significant amount of setup and configuration, particularly when managing a portfolio of properties with different pricing rules, booking conditions and operational processes.

Because the platform offers many features and integrations, some settings are not always immediately intuitive and the learning curve can be quite steep at the beginning. However, the support team is available and responsive, which makes the onboarding process much easier. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Smily helps us centralize the management and distribution of our portfolio of premium holiday rentals across multiple booking channels. It brings reservations, availability, rates, guest information, payments and property-specific booking rules together in one system.

This reduces manual data entry, limits the risk of errors or double bookings, and gives our team a clear overview of the entire portfolio. Its integrations with our pricing, operational and financial tools also help us create more reliable and automated workflows.

The main benefit is scalability: as our agency and property portfolio continue to grow, Smily allows us to handle more reservations without increasing the administrative workload at the same pace, while maintaining a consistent level of service for both guests and property owners.

While Hosthub offers many valuable features, there are a few areas where I believe there is room for improvement:

Enhanced Integration Options: It would be beneficial if Hosthub could expand its integration capabilities with other third-party services commonly used in the short-term rental industry. This could include integrations with popular channel managers, smart home automation systems, or dynamic pricing tools. Such integrations would provide users with more flexibility and streamline their overall operations.

Customization Options: Offering more customization options within the platform would be helpful. Users may have unique branding needs or specific workflows they prefer to follow. By allowing more customization in terms of property listings, booking settings, and reporting formats, Hosthub could cater to a broader range of user preferences and business requirements.

Mobile App: While Hosthub's web interface is user-friendly, having a dedicated mobile app would further enhance convenience and accessibility. A mobile app would enable users to manage their properties and respond to guest inquiries on the go, providing greater flexibility and responsiveness.

Expanded Customer Support: While Hosthub likely offers customer support, expanding the available support channels (such as live chat or phone support) and extending support hours could improve the overall customer experience. Timely and responsive assistance can be crucial when users encounter urgent issues or have pressing questions.

These suggestions aim to enhance the already strong foundation of Hosthub and provide users with even more comprehensive and tailored solutions for their short-term rental management needs. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I can't think of any downsides to Rent Manager and that's the honest truth. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Rent Manager assists me in monitoring profit and loss, tracking delinquencies, managing bill payments, and preparing comprehensive end-of-year reports for my accountant. I am also able to keep track of tenant and vendor conversations and issues, should I have the need to refer back to an issue. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The down side is that due to our market in the vacation rental industry we have more shoulder seasons and it would be very helpful and suite is better if they had customizable base and minimum rates by date/season. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

None so far I really love Turo it so very inconvenient for me Customer support are very helpful the platform and app is easy to use Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Turo solves the problem of limited and often expensive car rental options by connecting everyday car owners with people who need a vehicle.

Access to unique cars that might not be available at big rental companies.

More convenient pick-up and drop-off locations, sometimes even right in your neighborhood.

Flexible rental periods—from a few hours to several weeks.

Often more affordable rates with the chance to choose exactly the car that fits your needs. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I don’t like the restrictions around choosing whether to integrate directly with the VRBO channel and take payments myself, or to have VRBO handle the payments instead. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The accounting features and direct syncing are the best I’ve seen in property management software, although the accounting side still feels very restrictive. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
