Property Manager Hospitality Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Amazing Support for Beginners" October 16, 2025 5.0 We had such a great experience working with our Hostaway agent! He was ere incredibly patient and knowledgeable while helping us set up our listing, walking us through every detail step-by-step and making sure everything was configured correctly. Their professionalism and calm approach made what could have been a stressful process feel smooth and easy. We truly appreciate the time, attention, and care they gave us. Highly recommend, outstanding customer service! Pros Hostaway’s platform is incredibly intuitive and well-designed; it makes managing reservations, calendars, and messages across multiple platforms effortless. What really stood out, though, was the level of support we received. Our onboarding agent was patient, knowledgeable, and genuinely invested in helping us set up everything correctly. The combination of powerful tools and personalized assistance made the entire process smooth and stress-free. Cons The setup process can feel a bit overwhelming at first because there are so many features and settings to learn. It takes some time to get comfortable navigating everything. That said, once it’s configured correctly, and with the help of their support team, the system runs smoothly and becomes a powerful tool for managing bookings. Review Source Miranda N. Property Manager Real Estate Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "5 star review for Hostaway" February 16, 2026 5.0 Excellent onboarding process. Highly recommend Claire! She has been super efficient and great to work with to transition me quickly from another platform. Pros Advanced settings that help me get more bookings and generate more revenue. It is great to have so many things to control my business. Cons Takes a bit more time to get my head around the set up. Overall I don't have any complaints really. It is a great product. Switched from [Lodgify](https://www.capterra.com/p/131924/Lodgify/) Impressed with demo from Hostaway and decided there were enough reasons to make the switch. Review Source CW Chadd W. Owner Real Estate Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Double booking" July 24, 2026 1.0 The overall experience far has been poor and communication is not strong. Their go to is it will take 48 hours. Pros I like the platform but there are issues here. The whole point of me moving over to this platform is to avoid double bookings and I have had several since coming over here. Cons I chose Hostaway to help manage my short-term rental business, but my experience has been disappointing. I experienced a double booking that should have been prevented by the software, resulting in the cancellation of a guest reservation. This caused unnecessary stress, affected my reputation as a host, and cost me valuable time. I expected the platform to reliably synchronize calendars and prevent booking conflicts. Unfortunately, that was not my experience. While the platform offers many features, reliability is the most important aspect of property management software, and this issue significantly impacted my business. I hope Hostaway addresses these problems so other hosts don't experience the same situation. Review Source Trevor W. Owner Real Estate Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Great experience from start to finish" October 27, 2025 5.0 Overall the experience has been a 10/10. I would highly recommend Hostaway to other property owners. Pros The onboarding experience was a amazing. From start to finish it was very thorough and I appreciated the attention to detail. Cons The platform UI is a bit dated and the mobile app has somewhat limited functionality. This would be my only "complaint" and it is minor. Alternatives considered [Guesty](https://www.capterra.com/p/159377/Guesty/) Reason for choosing Hostaway Name recognition and support. Guesty was almost impossible to get ahold of. Switched from [Hostify](https://www.capterra.com/p/183332/Hostify/) Hostify offered limited support and didn't have the integrations I needed. Review Source TZ Tamzed Z. Head Admin Building Materials Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Reliable Automation With Room to Improve" November 25, 2025 5.0 Pros Hostaway’s biggest strength is how well its features integrate into a single, easy-to-use platform. The automated messaging, calendar syncing, and channel management tools work smoothly together, which makes day-to-day property management much more efficient. It also offers strong connectivity with major booking channels, reducing double bookings and saving a lot of manual work. The dashboard is clean and intuitive, helping you quickly understand performance, occupancy, and guest communication. Cons What I liked least about Hostaway is that some features feel less polished than the core channel-management tools. Certain integrations can be slow or require additional troubleshooting, and occasional sync delays create extra manual checks to ensure accuracy. The reporting functions, while useful, could be more customisable to better suit different property types and operational needs. Customer support is generally helpful but can sometimes take longer than expected to resolve more technical issues. Overall, the platform is strong, but these areas—system optimisation, deeper customisation, and faster support responses—would significantly enhance the overall user experience.

È una professionista molto preparata: spiega ogni funzionalità in maniera chiara ed esaustiva, restando sempre aperta a qualsiasi domanda o dubbio. Ha la capacità di farti sentire subito a tuo agio con la piattaforma. Inoltre, trovo utilissimo poter rivedere la registrazione dell'intera call: è un dettaglio che rende l'apprendimento ancora più produttivo ed efficace. Pros Ottima interfaccia e un onboarding che fa davvero la differenza nell'apprendimento. La piattaforma è completa e le integrazioni con software di terze parti sono un grandissimo valore aggiunto per la gestione dell'attività. Cons All'inizio può sembrare un po' complesso perché le funzioni sono davvero tante, quindi serve un attimo di tempo per prenderci la mano e abituarsi. Review Source JA Jesse A.

Hostaway's support team has been consistently fast, knowledgeable, and genuinely helpful. Whenever we reach out with questions about channel integrations, calendar sync, or API setup, the responses are clear, actionable, and tailored to our specific setup rather than generic copy-paste answers. \[sensitive content hidden\] take ownership of issues and follow up until everything is fully resolved, which has saved us a lot of time managing multiple listings across Airbnb, Booking.com, and our direct website. Overall a reliable partner for day-to-day operations. Cons Nothing major to complain about so far. The support team always closes the gap quickly when we ask.

October 1, 2025 5.0 The onboarding experience with Hostaway has been fabulous. Our support expert, Juan has been patient, friendly and professional to work with, turning an intimidating experience of learning a new platform into an enjoyable one. Thank you, Juan! 10/10 Pros I value the ease of use, streamlining functions across multiple platforms, and saving time and money. Cons It takes some time to learn the ropes, but fortunately, we have received fabulous support from the customer support team along the way.

The platform saves us a huge amount of time by automating daily tasks and syncing our listings perfectly across platforms. \[sensitive content hidden\] made the onboarding process easy and enjoyable — she guided us step by step and made sure everything was perfectly configured.

Most importantly, the onboarding experience was seamless thanks to \[sensitive content hidden\], our onboarding manager. She’s incredibly knowledgeable, patient, and supportive throughout the setup process. Cons Everything has been working smoothly so far.

Property Manager Leisure, Travel & Tourism Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Weenalyn Ybiernas from Hostaway is the best!!!" May 8, 2025 5.0 Best experience I have had with any software company, EVER! I would recommend to anyone using property management software!!! Pros Advanced software that is easy to use. But most of all, the customer service is exceptional! \[sensitive content hidden\] has made all the difference in my business from helping me beyond the original support request. This has been the case for everyone I have worked with at Hostaway. Cons Like all good things, sometimes you have to wait to get support. But I see this as a positive, this means that Hostaway are spending much needed time with their customers and waiting for their service is so worth it.

I think it would be much clearer and more effective if the onboarding were done over a couple of full days, with everything covered together under guidance. Right now, having short sessions spread out over time made it harder to follow the flow, some things were unclear, and we weren’t always sure if we were doing everything correctly. A more structured, continuous onboarding would help new team members feel more confident and better prepared, and it would also speed up the overall process, allowing potential issues to surface and be resolved more quickly. But he sessions we did were clear and helpful, just a bit too short. Pros I really enjoyed being part of a dynamic company that’s constantly evolving and focused on innovation. The platform is strong and impactful, and it's a real difference for its users. And it has Finnish roots! Cons Some internal systems and structures are still catching up, which occasionally is making the coordination a bit challenging. Review Source JG Jaime G. CEO Hospitality Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Great Customer Support" October 29, 2025 5.0 Great! Quick and easy, my issue was solved.

We got the issue resolved in about 10 minutes and the hold time to jump on the call was only a minute or two. Thanks Hostaway!

It really is just the wait time of getting someone Pros Nico was super helpful and answered all my questions with ease. He knew exactly what I was trying to do Cons The wait time to get someone on the phone for help. I called twice and waited over 45 minutes so I hung up. I had to get this done but luckily someone answered after 15 minute wait today Switched from [Lodgify](https://www.capterra.com/p/131924/Lodgify/) not detailed enough on the backend for growing business Review Source SH Shannon H.

My business is growing quickly, and Hostaway is a big part of it. Pros Customer Service and 24/7 phone support. Y3n is my favorite customer service rep. He took time to talk to me when I needed help on the support line, and then since I still needed help, he set up a meeting with me and helped me with several issues over the course of 30 minutes. He went above and beyond and is very patient. He's the BEST, he deserves a raise! Thank you Y3n? Cons It was a learning curve to get everything set up, but that's normal when using a new system! I had plenty of support along the way. Thank you! Review Source KN Kevin N.

She has gone above and beyond to provide an exceptional onboarding experience. Pros Great tool to integrate all calendars and aspects of managing properties. Nice to have a single tool for booking across multiple channels and easy to navigate the user interface. Cons Still behind on some features/functions. Should be able to permanently set Seasonal Rates without having to manually block calendars and adjust pricing from there.

Owner Hospitality Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Great Product" May 29, 2026 5.0 I never expected the customer service to be so good. The onboarding is the key to success with this product. They do it very well. Pros Hostaway has increased my bookings and dynamic pricing. It is way better than Airbnb auto pricing. Already getting more bookings on other platforms. Cons The app needs to be better. There is quite a bit of info that needs to work on a phone. I'm used to doing most on phone only and never needing a laptop. You definitely need a laptop. Switched from [Hospitable.com](https://www.capterra.com/p/189280/smartbnb/) Absolutely terrible customer service. No help. Review Source LF Lorenzo F. Property Manager CEO Real Estate Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Avoid Hostaway — Unprofessional and Pushy Sales Tactics" September 23, 2025 1.0 At first, Hostaway seemed promising. The sales rep, \[sensitive content hidden\] , was very responsive and friendly during the sales process. We paid the onboarding fee but quickly realized within three business days that the platform wasn’t a fit for our needs. When I explained that we had found a local company that offered a more tailored solution without the extra costs, \[sensitive content hidden\] responded by speaking negatively about that company. Ironically, when I asked the other provider about Hostaway, they only had respectful things to say. That contrast spoke volumes. After requesting to cancel, I received a string of increasingly pushy emails from \[sensitive content hidden\] , repeatedly trying to convince us to stay with additional discounts. Despite declining multiple times, the pressure continued. The worst part was when \[sensitive content hidden\] crossed a serious line: he privately messaged my mother, spamming her with emotional appeals and attempting to guilt-trip us into signing up. This behavior was unprofessional, manipulative, and completely unacceptable. Overall, this experience showed me how poorly run Hostaway is behind the friendly sales pitch. I would strongly advise others to avoid this company. Pros Helpful, friendly sales team at first with quick responses. Cons Pushy, unprofessional, even messaged my family after I declined. Alternatives considered [NightsBridge](https://www.capterra.com/p/191455/NightsBridge/) Reason for choosing Hostaway Affordable, no contracts, no pushy sales rep Review Source LL Lilou L. gestion locative Accounting Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Un outil indispensable pour la gestion locative !" May 20, 2026 5.0 Mon expérience avec Hostaway est très positive. L'outil simplifie considérablement la gestion des locations courte durée. Je le recommande vivement à tous les propriétaires et gestionnaires immobiliers. Pros Hostaway est une plateforme vraiment excellente ! La gestion des réservations est intuitive et très efficace. L'interface est claire, agréable à utiliser, et le support client est réactif et toujours prêt à aider. Un vrai gain de temps au quotidien ! Cons Quelques fonctionnalités avancées pourraient être encore plus personnalisables, mais rien qui ne remette en question la qualité globale du produit.

Manager Hospitality Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "A Game-Changer for Property Management" October 14, 2025 5.0 5 stars. We rely on Hostaway to manage our portfolio of properties, and it has streamlined our operations significantly. The features are incredibly powerful; the unified inbox and centralized calendar alone have dramatically cut down on our administrative time. The automation tools are also top-notch and have reduced the risk of errors across our listings. Pros \[sensitive content hidden\] did a great job explaining everything to me. As a property manager, Hostaway has been an absolute necessity for scaling and efficiency. The platform is robust, but what really sets them apart is the customer support. Anytime I've had a question or needed a hand, their team has been incredibly responsive, knowledgeable, and genuinely helpful. Beyond the technology, the customer support team deserves special recognition. They are consistently attentive, quick to respond, and clearly experts in the short-term rental space. Knowing I have reliable support makes navigating complex issues painless. Cons "Learning Curve: The platform is very powerful, but it has a somewhat steep initial learning curve. The initial setup takes time, but it is worth it for the automation you achieve afterward."
