### "Guesty Review"

February 23, 2026

5.0

I would give it a five-star review. It's absolutely amazing. Working with them truly is a partnership, not just a customer relationship.

Pros

Guesty's customer service has been absolutely amazing. They truly are partners. I love the software. I'm very happy with the service and highly recommend it.

Cons

My one suggestion is building out operations a little better. I think it would be great if operations got to a little bit higher level.

### "Great App - Easy to manage"

May 27, 2026

5.0

Overall, my experience with Guesty has been very positive. I’ve been using the platform for the past three years to manage our properties, and I truly appreciate how intuitive and functional it is. Being able to handle all guest communications in one centralized place, while keeping calendars seamlessly synced across platforms, has significantly improved our operational efficiency. I also really like the ability to set up automatic messages, which saves us a tremendous amount of time, and how easily I can coordinate with my service team within the platform.

Pros

I’ve been using Guesty for the past three years to manage our properties, and it has been a very user-friendly and functional platform. One of the features I appreciate most is being able to manage all guest communications in one place, while keeping all of my calendars seamlessly connected. Overall, it’s intuitive, efficient, and very easy to use.

Cons

One area for improvement is the Guest Book feature. For smaller operators managing fewer than three properties, it does not currently provide enough value to justify the cost or effort involved.

### "Good product. Terrible support."

April 6, 2026

1.0

For one of the biggest PMS platforms out there, not being able to fix a billing issue in 5 months is just not acceptable. Every time I reach out it feels like we are starting over. No real progress. Just the same "we are working on it." If you are a large operator considering Guesty, the product will do what you need. But if anything goes wrong outside of a basic support ticket, be ready to fight for it and still not get a resolution.

Pros

Guesty as a product is solid. The features are there and it works well for managing properties at scale.

Cons

Customer service is not great, especially when you are dealing with anything above a basic support ticket. Anything related to account issues or more serious problems takes way too long. I canceled Guesty Shield, notified my account manager, followed up multiple times over email, had multiple calls with my account manager and her upper management, and the cancellation was confirmed. They kept charging me anyway. It has been 4 to 5 months of back and forth. They keep telling me they are working on fixing the invoice and correcting the balance. Still not fixed. My account keeps getting deactivated because of an unpaid invoice for a service I already canceled. Their solution is for me to pay the invoice first and get the credit back. Why would I pay for something I never used and already canceled months ago? On top of that, they tried to tell me I could cancel Guesty Shield myself through the dashboard, but you literally cannot do that. The account manager has to do it. So I did everything right and I am still in this loop.

### "STR owner or manager? I'd recommend Guesty any day of the week"

July 1, 2026

5.0

The experience has been great and that's why we've been with them for the last 4 years, growing from zero to more than 400 STR listings with them as our PMS partner.

Pros

They fully support us with any questions that we have and they've helped us evolve as a business every step of the way. Their Customer Success managers are great and really want to help you succeed. I recommend with my eyes closed.

Cons

They offer so many tools and perks (which is honestly really positive), but it can sometimes feel a little bit overwhelming given that they are rolling out so many new product updates that we don't have the operational bandwidth to test them all.

### "Powerful Property Management Platform for Short-Term Rentals"

April 1, 2026

5.0

Overall, my experience with Guesty has been very positive. The platform provides powerful tools that simplify managing multiple short-term rental listings across different booking channels. Automation features, centralized communication, and reliable synchronization help save time and reduce manual work. While there is a learning curve at the beginning and the pricing may be higher for smaller hosts, the efficiency and organization it brings to property management make it a valuable solution for growing rental businesses.

Pros

What I liked most about Guesty is how it simplifies managing multiple rental properties. The synchronization across booking platforms works reliably, which helps avoid scheduling conflicts and saves a lot of time. I also found the dashboard helpful for managing reservations, payments, and guest communication in one place. The platform feels secure when handling payments, and the support team has been responsive when questions come up. While small bugs occasionally happen, they are usually resolved quickly. Overall, Guesty provides strong value for property managers who want automation and centralized control of their listings.

Cons

The pricing can be a bit expensive for smaller property managers, and some advanced features are only available in higher-tier plans. The interface may feel overwhelming at first due to the number of tools available. Occasionally there are minor bugs or delays in synchronization across channels, and customer support response times can sometimes vary depending on the issue.

Switched from

[Avantio](https://www.capterra.com/p/134278/Avantio/)

We decided to move from Avantio to Guesty because we wanted a platform that made managing multiple listings simpler. Guesty offers better channel synchronization and a more intuitive dashboard for handling reservations, guest messages, and payments. The automation features were another big reason for the switch, since they help reduce manual work and keep operations organized. Overall, Guesty felt like a better fit for scaling and managing our properties more efficiently.

### "Guesty experience"

March 30, 2026

3.0

Pros

What I appreciate most about Guesty is the daily summary, which clearly shows check-ins, check-outs, turnovers, and the total number of properties currently occupied. The calendar is also highly visual and intuitive, making it much easier to manage reservations efficiently.

Cons

In recent times, we have encountered several operational issues in managing our properties: Synchronization problems and loss of configurations following certain updates on the site; When the same guest books more than one apartment, sending the link through the guest app often causes a bug, forcing us to repeat the process multiple times; Identical configurations applied to all units within the same property do not always work consistently: some settings function correctly for all apartments except one, without any apparent reason; The “Find Availability” button frequently freezes the calendar, blocking dates even when there are no new bookings. We cannot resolve this independently and always need to open a support ticket; Property addresses are often automatically translated into English, which is the original language of the site. However, since we operate in Italy and configure everything in Italian, on our Guesty site — where guests can book directly — the addresses appear inconsistently. For example, two apartments in Bergamo show as “Lombardia” and “Lombardy.” When the search engine tries to identify the cities, it treats them as two different locations, forcing us to correct each one manually. These issues significantly slow down our daily operations and create challenges in managing bookings.

### "StayInLondon recommends a robust PMS for Scaling Short-Term Rental Operations"

February 28, 2026

5.0

We operate short-term rentals in London and use Guesty as our core property management system. It has allowed us to streamline booking management, automate guest communication, coordinate cleaning schedules, and maintain strong operational oversight across multiple listings. The automation workflows are one of the biggest advantages. Once properly configured, they significantly reduce manual messaging and minimise operational errors. Channel management across Airbnb and other platforms works reliably, and calendar synchronisation has been stable. The reporting functionality also provides useful visibility into occupancy, ADR, and overall performance — which is essential for revenue optimisation. Guesty is not a “lightweight” system — it’s built for serious operators. There is a learning curve, but once implemented correctly, it becomes a powerful operational framework.

Pros

We use Guesty to manage our short-term rental portfolio in London, and it has become the backbone of our operations. The platform centralises listings, guest communication, task management, and financial reporting in a way that makes scaling significantly easier.

Cons

It’s particularly strong for operators managing multiple units across Airbnb and other OTAs. The reporting tools also give clear visibility into occupancy and revenue trends. Pros: •Strong automation tools •Reliable multi-channel syncing •Centralised guest communication •Scalable for growing portfolios

### "Powerful Channel Management for Scaling Short-Term Rentals"

March 5, 2026

5.0

Overall, Guesty is a robust property management system designed for hosts and property managers who operate across multiple channels. It provides powerful automation and integrations that help streamline operations and reduce manual work. While it may take some time to learn and configure properly, once set up it becomes a reliable platform for managing reservations, guest communication, pricing integrations, and multi-channel distribution.

Pros

Guesty provides a strong centralized platform for managing listings across multiple channels like Airbnb, Vrbo, Booking.com, and direct websites. The channel synchronization works well and reduces the risk of double bookings. The automation tools for messaging, task management, and guest communication help streamline operations when managing multiple properties. The platform also integrates well with third-party tools like dynamic pricing engines, payment processors, and external booking sites. Overall, it provides the operational backbone needed to scale a short-term rental portfolio.

Cons

The platform can be complex to configure and there is a learning curve for new users. Some features require navigating multiple menus and settings, which can make day-to-day management less intuitive than simpler systems. Pricing can also become expensive as you scale or add additional modules. Occasionally, certain channel integrations require troubleshooting or support intervention when syncing settings across platforms.

Great, and I'm a loyal customer of 5 years now. Wouldn't consider moving PMS unless they were able to display some seriously good USP!

Has to be the leading PMS for vacation rentals right now. Full of features, powerful and reliable. Decent support available, and business development always in mind.

Cons

Guesty has helped me run my rentals more efficiently and reduced a lot of stress. It has made it easier to grow while keeping guests happy and my team organized.

Guesty helps me keep everything in one place and saves me a ton of time. Messaging, task management, and channel syncing all work smoothly. I also like that support is quick to respond and actually tries to help, not just push articles.

Cons

### "Unparalleled reliability and constant innovation"

November 26, 2025

5.0

I’ve used Guesty daily for five years. The uptime and stability have been industry-best, and the product keeps improving without breaking workflows. New features roll out frequently and meaningfully—making operations more efficient across reservations, messaging, and reporting. It’s a comprehensive platform that scales with your portfolio and gives you confidence that things will just work.

Pros

Reliability is unmatched—Guesty has been rock-solid for me over five years. They keep shipping genuinely useful features, not fluff. The platform covers everything from Booking Management and Rental Management to clean User Interface, strong Security, responsive Customer Support, and smooth Team Collaboration. It does what you want—and then surprises you with more.

Cons

It’s pricey, but as they say: buy once, cry once. There are other alternatives out there that are less expensive, but the chances of outgrowing the other platforms and needing to migrate helped justify the premium for Guesty.

### "Great big-picture software, falls down on the small features"

November 21, 2025

3.0

I think Guesty is great and the continued investment in the software and features is especially helpful with a growing portfolio like ours. The biggest picture pieces are great and it's genuinely a software we're happy to keep growing with, but the smaller changes that mount up day to day do m make it a little taxing sometimes whereas these are extremely small feature changes that would make a huge impact on the day to day use for all of my teams.

Pros

Easy set up, easy management of reservations, and the search bar works flawlessly for finding specific properties or units which is super helpful in a portfolio of our size. The app and automation features are also top-notch, and very happy to now have payment integrations. Guesty is very great at the "big picture" features.

Cons

The fall down in my review comes from oversight on the smaller details in the software. Actually making changes to reservations is very limited. Even with the accounting modules set up, I'm unable to make changes to commission payments if we've struck undue deal with an agent, or even change the booking source at all after entering a reservation. Having to cancel and re-add a booking to make these changes then massively interferes with other apps we integrate into the guest journey creating unnecessary work for extremely small changes. That's my main gripe. The availability search function also needs an upgrade. We have a large portfolio and things like being able to do a minimum AND maximum number of bedrooms on the search instead of just a min would be extremely helpful.

### "Highly recommend"

November 21, 2025

5.0

Pros

Guesty has been a big improvement from our previous PMS. The platform is clean, polished, and reliable, and we haven’t run into the broken features or technical issues we dealt with before. The user interface is straightforward, and I’ve even seen Guesty adopt a couple of suggestions I made along the way, which shows they’re paying attention to user needs. Support has been solid. Anytime we’ve had a minor issue, there was either a quick workaround or the team escalated it right away. The value for the money is excellent—Guesty is more affordable than our last system while offering far more functionality. Pricing, booking management, rental management, team tools, and optional room-operations features all work as advertised and give us everything we need in one place. Overall, Guesty has delivered a stable, feature-rich PMS that has made our operations smoother and more efficient.

Cons

The main drawback is that the interface still feels more Airbnb-oriented than truly hotel-oriented. A few features are missing or limited for traditional hotel workflows—for example, you can’t easily hold back door codes for guests who haven’t submitted a credit card, and there’s no way to send an itemized line-item invoice; it has to go out as the full reservation balance. These are minor issues in the big picture, but they’re worth noting for anyone running a hotel-style operation rather than short-term rentals.

### "My best choice for PMS"

November 21, 2025

5.0

Overall, it’s a powerful PMS that can really streamline operations, but it comes with friction. The system itself is strong, but the slow UI and message-refresh issues get annoying fast. If you manage multiple units and can handle the quirks (and the price), it still offers big operational advantages once everything is configured properly.

Pros

Guesty centralizes almost everything I need for short-term rentals: unified inbox, automations, and a clear multi-calendar. The Airbnb/Booking.com channel management is reliable, automated messages save a ton of time, and the workflows (tasks, cleaners, owner statements) are powerful once set up. Overall it helps me run multiple apartments with a very small team.

Cons

The interface is heavy and slow, and the app gets stuck way too often. Messages don’t always appear instantly — you have to refresh to see them — which means you can easily miss guest communication. Pricing is also on the high side, especially for smaller operators.

Reason for choosing Guesty

For its open API so that I can program my own application (for accounting) that accompany the reservations.

### "Good software to run your business"

November 26, 2025

4.0

Bad onboarding but solid performance once we got up and running. Guesty seems to be adding/improving features which I appreciate.

Pros

I like the all in one rental management, team access, and owner portal. I also like the open source nature to Guesty to allow for outside apps. I am also happy to see that Guesty seems to be growing and adding/improving features.

Cons

Phone app needs to have background app refresh so it doesnt have to load each time. Also mobile Analytics would be nice.

### "Good system with strong potential, but missing some features"

April 3, 2026

4.0

Overall, the system is okay and usable, but it is missing several features that should be standard in today’s property management software. Many of these functionalities are essential for efficient operations. That said, the platform works well overall, but there is still room for improvement. Even small enhancements could have a significant impact on daily operations.

Pros

Guesty offers a wide range of distribution channels, which makes it easy to reach different platforms from one system. Adding new properties is straightforward, and the calendar overview is clear and helpful for day-to-day operations. There are still some features missing or not fully developed, but hopefully these will be improved over time.

Cons

Some important functionalities are missing. Tasks cannot be displayed in the owner portal at all, which limits transparency for property owners. It is also not possible to implement custom document or form templates. For example, check-in and check-out protocols cannot be digitally signed within the system, which is a significant limitation for operations. Additionally, some features promised during the sales process are not actually available or do not work as expected.

### "Modern, easy to use booking software with 5\* support!"

March 5, 2026

5.0

So far, so good! Easy to get everything setup, easy to use and the customer support is 5 star. Integrations with the channel manager were easy and we can finally actually control EVERYTHING in one place! Building my own integrated website was also a breeze, which is a HUGE plus for me, not to have to be charged by other platforms and web developers every time I want to add or change anything on my website.

Pros

Speed, ease of use. Customer support is fast to get and efficient. It's a modern platform in a market saturated with old booking software platforms which cannot be upgraded.

Cons

It is expensive compared to competitors but, in it's defence, it is far superior to competitors as well, so we see the value in it.

### "Powerful PMS for Multi-Channel Villa Management with Great Automation"

November 26, 2025

5.0

Overall, our experience has been positive. Guesty has helped streamline daily operations, improve response speed, and reduce errors by centralizing bookings, guest communication, and team workflows. Once it’s properly set up, it runs smoothly and supports scalable growth. Customer support is generally helpful, though response times can vary depending on the issue. I’d recommend Guesty to property managers or villa operators who want strong channel management and automation—just expect a bit of onboarding time to get the most out of it.

Pros

Guesty has been a solid all-in-one PMS for our villa operations. I really like the channel manager and unified inbox—having Airbnb/Booking.com messages, reservations, and guest details in one place saves a lot of time. The automation tools (pre-arrival, check-in, house rules, follow-ups) are super helpful for maintaining consistent guest communication. Calendar sync and task management also make it easier to coordinate housekeeping and operations across multiple properties. Overall, it helps us stay organized and reduce manual work.

Cons

The platform can feel a bit complex at first, especially when setting up automations, rates, and integrations. Some settings are not very intuitive and require a learning curve. Occasionally, certain OTA updates (like special requests or small booking changes) take time to reflect, and troubleshooting integrations can be slow. Reporting is useful, but I’d love more customizable dashboards and easier export options.

Adequate, the issue with connectivity still needs to be addressed esp with VRBO. The response time is great.

Pros

Quick response. If I have an issue I do get a thorough response back, the staff does give a detailed step guide on the connectivity issue.

Cons

Bugs and issues with connectivity. The software still has some issues and a couple of times I had to navigate cancelling a reservation because Guesty does not connect well with VRBO.

### "Five stars! "

December 3, 2025

5.0

Overall, I’m very happy with Guesty and the value it brings to my business. It has made managing multiple properties across different channels much smoother, and the support team has been consistently helpful. I’ll definitely be recommending Guesty to anyone in the property management industry.

Pros

I’m very happy with my experience using Guesty. It’s an excellent tool for managing multiple properties across different booking channels, and it gives me a clear overview of everything in one place. My onboarding process was fantastic; I received a one-on-one, in-depth walkthrough of all the features. The ongoing support has also been amazing, with quick and helpful replies through the chat.

Cons

The only downside for me is that the Guesty statements don’t fully match the way my company is set up, where the property owners receive payouts directly from the booking channels. This makes the monthly statements a bit messy and hard to read. I would really appreciate an update that solves this.
