### "Great Channel Manager "

November 22, 2023

5.0

Pros

\- Extremely easy to use - Organised - Reliable - Loads of features that automate your Serviced Acommadation

Cons

You can only get customer service through email which is quite slow (expect a day or to for a reply) - Would be better if they had a live chat feature. I knows its abit fussy but that would make the software a 10/10

### "Guesty For Hosts Review"

March 26, 2022

5.0

Guesty For Host does what it sets out to accomplish. It automates and streamlines the operational needs of short-term rental. The feature set is quite comprehensive and easy to use. I'd highly recommend it to anyone interested in running a small number of listings.

Pros

\- Intuitive Design - Automated Messaging - Smart Lock Intergration - Smart Pricing Integration - Channel Manager

Cons

\- No Integration w/ Minut Noise Monitor - No Ability to Add Team Member Accounts

### "Great app was MORE than expected"

February 28, 2019

5.0

Very easy to understand and see the status, keep communications with guests is most important and not seem like a system but have the ability to customize each message for each property. Nice to see the website and payment system with Stripe to help with making charges directly when needed.

Pros

Wow this functionality and ability is far more than I expected. We started it thinking it could gap between services we were using like Guesty and others but the cost is much simpler. Also this app has grown with leaps and bounds and very solid platform to control and use for 1 property or we have seven and it can do the same seamlessly and also help collaborate better than others.

Cons

Not much but the more I figure out the more helpful it is. Haven't really had any parts that are troubling or difficult at all.

### "Best on the market at the moment"

July 14, 2022

4.0

Pros

I like how much can be automated for our cleaners and that all messages can be in one place

Cons

I feel like it's quicker still to respond to notifications in the app that the bookings are made (Airbnb, booking.com etc.) so I rarely use the messaging feature at the moment, maybe that will expand with more properties. It feels a bit clunky and slightly old fashioned still - I feel like the layout and how to find things for each property could be re-thought. It's not the most up to date app I've seen or used but the whole industry seems to be a little behind so it's not just Guesty. This is the most up-to-date I've seen.

### "Good app"

December 21, 2019

5.0

Pros

I was looking for an app just like Your Porter to sync my account cheaply and effectively. It works like a charm. It does exactly what it claims to do. Otherwise this thing works like a charm!

Cons

As a minor point, I wish the calendar feature was more like a "common" calendar, rather than having to scroll left and right to look at all of the dates.

February 22, 2023

5.0

Overall am a happy user and that's the reason why I subscribed.

Pros

It's capability to bring all the major booking portals to one unified interface.

Cons

I'm not a big fan of Website based softwares and would rather like to have an application for the same.

### "Great product for new hosts"

September 2, 2023

5.0

The platform is ideal for a busy host that is on multiple vacation rental websites. It keeps everything synced and is automated.

Pros

The platform is incredibly easy to use. As a new host, having sample templates for automated messaging was a big help.

Cons

Customer inquiries are automated responses, so if it's not a straightforward question it can be challenging to get your answer.

### "Great help for self hosts"

September 28, 2023

5.0

Pros

Guesty is affordable for individual hosts and provides all the automation that you would hope for, my cleaners were all familiar with it and prefer it's notifications to co-hosting, and it allowed me to share my space on multiple channels as well as independently listed. Worth experiencing the trial for features.

Cons

Website UI is a little wonky in places, but still usable.

### "Very good product"

October 3, 2019

5.0

Overall it saves me a lot of time

Pros

The automated messages, the auto review, the snooze, the booster, the integration with Booking.com

Cons

There is no Bulgarian language in the message templates. Sometimes it loads very slowly on the phone. Sometimes there is a delay in the automated messaging more than hour. Even that I stop the automated messages, sometimes the software sends it.

### "Great tool to automate your short term rental!"

December 3, 2021

4.0

I was able to automate my business, increase revenue, and free up my time.

Pros

This software has so many different features to customize your vacation rental and maximize profits.

Cons

The user interface could use a little work and they need improved mobile apps so it can be managed entirely from the mobile hanset.

### "Great for syncing between AirBnb and VRBO, and for messaging on those platforms"

January 22, 2023

4.0

Pros

Syncs instantaneously between AirBnb and VRBO to avoid double booking. Also, Airbnb has a great messaging platform but VRBO does not, so Guesty can be used to reply automated messages on both platforms.

Cons

It does not help with pricing, so I had to buy another software for that, Wheelhouse.com

### "Great software that will be amazing once a few features are added"

January 27, 2021

5.0

Just through the message automation I have saved a lot of admin time. I am also able to auto schedule the cleaning tasks with messages going directly to the team which is a huge timesaver.

Pros

Message Automation and access to Airbnb Ranking Booster.

Cons

The owner log in should provide not only access to income reports but also access to the calendar for their properties. Team tasks should be able to be scheduled without the mandatory option of linking it to a reservation. A consolidated inbox would be great.

### "Excellent Airbnb management tool, wish I used it sooner"

February 12, 2021

5.0

Pros

The booking engine, automated messaging and Airbnb ranking features.

Cons

Paying $100 / year extra for the booking engine to utilise your own domain name is ridiculous in my opinion.

Smartbnb didn't offer a direct booking engine, and they were more expensive.

### "Awesome and excellent cost-effective cheap product"

May 1, 2020

5.0

Your Porter saves me a lot of time. Many resources created to make our day easier. We no longer need to sign in to all channels to update our prices and information. In addition to offering our own website, where we can earn money without paying fees to third parties, Your Porter can control the return of security deposits and payments by credit card or paypal/stripe. It also automatically sends messages to our own and third-party customers. I would also like to comment on the support team that helped me with my questions to configure the system in addition to writing down my suggestions. I am loving having more time to improve my business.

Pros

Automation message, Airbnb boost, Tasks, Website.

Cons

To pay additional annual to have my own domain website

Reason for choosing Guesty Lite
