Setup support was top notch
Pros
I like having one point of contact for everything. The integration is key to making rental management easy.
Cons
There is a missing link with VRBO. Chatting with guests before booking still has to be done in the VRBO app.

Our Success with Lodgify
Very positive and professional - from sales, to onboarding, to post-launch to all the support from the team. I want to thank the team for the best combo of holding our hand and pushing us to ensure we transitioned in the timeframes needed.
Pros
We chose Lodgify for it’s multi-channel support, remote lock integration, website builder and mobile phone support — all that was delivered as expected. In addition, the onboarding and post-launch support, as well as customer support has exceeded our expectations!
Cons
There are a few features we hope to seem come more quickly in the roadmap, including support for sms/text messaging (this is how most folks prefer communicating) and some additional options on payment policies. We also would prefer an easier approach to handling phone reservations, as we do have guests who prefer to give us all their info over the phone and have us make it for them, versus online.

Low volume user
Has been very good for my small amount of properties. I think it could be better if I upgraded with more automations, reports, etc, however with only 3 properties don’t know that the additional features are worth it to me.
Pros
Calendar syncing, website development, guest messaging, pricing options
Cons
Doesn’t work uniformly with each platform is Airbnb vs Vrbo

Recently joined Lodgify and so far so good
So far so good, the onboarding assistant [sensitive content hidden] was outstanding, and generally very clear and proactive, she was able to answer all my questions. I
Pros
The visual interface of Lodgify is very easy to view and therefore navigate around, we are still early days in transitioning to this platform. The onboarding process with [sensitive content hidden] was very good, she was excellent.
Cons
Since fully onboarding I can see it does have several limitations, there is no invoicing system which is highly inconvenient, unable to edit the order of the listings making it confusing for us to manage our site and bookings, the sync process distorted all the images, it would be good to be able to catergorise images of the general property and facilities and individual rentals so we dont have to have repeition in the listings that show on the website .

Lodgify is responsible platform
I have amazing experience especially with your support. Because I am from Czech, and I do not speak english so well, our communication is just about writing..I appreciate immensely writing to a living person!!!!!!! What I really hate on similar platforms is, when is big problem I have to deal with it immediately, on other platforms robots talk to me, throw me information to read, and by the time I get to a live human, I get "burned".
When it happened initially with you that I set something up wrong, and I had to fix it IMMEDIATELY, your support helps me IMMEDIATELY, even though it may have been something I could have retrieved in the end. This is what makes Lodgify resposible platfortm. Mistakes happen. We have small bussines and we comunicate with many people, so every mistake is problem. With Lodgify I have no fear, that everything will be okay.
Pros
All the system of Lodgify is clear, logical, quick to operate. Everything is logically placed where it should be (and this is important, it saves time and nerves). I have tried lots of platform, and must see that I have never been so happy with system as is Lodgify. Second thing i like most is the support.
Cons
Connecting with Airbnb was a bit stressful for me, but I understand that it must be this hard. Otherwise, the way you guided me through this challenging journey was the best solution :)

Front End of site is not the same is the Back end
I am surprised that the onbaording lady appeared to be un aware that if I used Lodgify to take Airbnb bookings that airbnb would add a hefty fee...
Pros
Did not get far enough as I could not create the website
Cons
Customer service were very keen to please me, initially because they thought I was going to take airbnb bookings through Lodgify. I felt they mislead me because they inisisted that it would not cost me anything. I was (of course) suspicious. When Lodgify eventually confessed that airbnb would add a hefty charge if I took their bookings via Lodgify, and I thus dropped the idea, the Lodgify onboarding lady somewhat lost interest in me. The text which I saved and published on the website was not the same as on the front office. She could not help me with this and forwarded it to the tech team who advised me to retype the text in again. I did it several times and it still did not appear correctly on the front end. All very frustrating. I am asking for a refund now, so let's see what happens...

My Lodgify experience
I was very happy with the on boarding process of Lodgify, they took me through the setting up of the system, very methodically, and ensure that the channel managers were linked up and working. The helpdesk responds very quickly and provides great customer service.

New platform for us
So far, our experience has been positive. We have been on the platform for less than two months, but have no reason to believe that things won’t continue to be satisfying and productive.
Pros
Customer Service. Our initial set up was guided by one-on-one help from Logan over two one hour sessions. Logan is very knowledgeable and answered all our questions and concerns concisely.
Cons
Too new to answer. We need more time to evaluate all uses of the platform.

User review
Overall it’s a great tool. Some updates are still needed periodical follow up calls basically make the a difference vs other providers makes a huge difference in costumer experience too!
Pros
The constant check back and follow up calls! Please continue this feature because it’s very helpful and makes your product way more valuable than other competitors on the marketplace. It really helped me to have a call with Alice at least every 3-6 months to discuss changes updates we had experienced on our accounts. She was very knowledgeable and was able to help me understand the system a little better after each call! I have forgotten a lot of information that I received during the set up calls. These calls help me to also make changes and add new features that I did not have originally.
Cons
Taxes for the service I would like to have official invoices provided for bookings made over Lodgify only. This is very important for the user and there are no solutions for the taxes at this moment at least in Mexico.
Automated language translation. The idea is to use only Lodgy to respond to all the messages but once you respond over Lodgy the message is appears in the language that was written so Airbnb will no longer translate to for example French if the guest is coming from France and using the French version.
This is a big issue we have received two very bad reviews on booking.com and our unit is not being received any new bookings since because the guest were upset that the messages were sent in English and not Spanish!

Property Management Software (a first)
My experience has been in the middle a 3 or a 4. I don't feel completely lost, but I don't feel completely confident yet. I think it is a building experience and you have to trust the process. It was really frustrating at first, but the onboarding helped a lot.
Pros
I like that everything is now on one calendar. It was good to have an onboarding specialist because the VRBO and Stripe issues to get it set up. Airbnb was great because all I had to do was put my listings in Lodgify. It was overwhelming at first, but now I have a better handle on it.
Cons
I am finding that I am getting started on building the website. I don't know exactly what to do with it, but trying to figure it out. I may have to reach out to someone to help me put it together and get it up and going. It would be nice if there was onboarding for that part, but I just need to sit down and do it.

I like the support I received from the account management team who booked monthly meetings to go over any issues I may be having as a new user and think that this option could be available for longer.

Lodgify good price point but ongoing integration problems means regular payment & booking...
People are great, good price point, but poor software integration continues to prove costly, and with no motivation from the big players to fix four years on.
Pros
Interaction with staff and instant calendar overview we use daily.
Cons
Poor integration between VRBO/Bookabach and other related brands has meant lost business, incorrectly stated property details etc. all resulting in a loss of trust and business immediately after. 1 in 4 VRBO bookings since VRBO and Lodgify were integrated. Inbox has never passed on VRBO or Booking.com message since inception. Have tried working this through with Lodgify and agencies but for no result other than "provide (the other partie) with feedback."

Not suitable for professional use
After more than 2 years of usage, my opinion is that this product is suitable for personal use with a limited number of listings, but it falls short in terms of reliability for professional purposes. Significant improvements are necessary to make it suitable for professional use. I have encountered numerous critical issues that caused trouble with customers and have yet to be resolved. It is impossible to use it effectively in a team, as no team member is able to manage the inbox. The accounting aspect is also unreliable, with confusing fee discrepancies.
Pros
the good point is that it is easy to use and has a nice design -
Cons
Riddled with bugs, this platform has caused me significant issues with customers, making it quite troublesome. As a team, we are unable to use it effectively since we have to share the same account, and none of us have access to the inbox. Additionally, while I also use Pricelabs, some of its features do not integrate smoothly with Lodgify, rendering it practically unusable.

Lodgify is better than I expected!! Highly recommend!
My overall experience with Lodgify has been better than I expected. For months, I researched various platforms such as Ownerrez, Hostaway, Hospitable, Uplisting, Guestsy, etc. I was extremely hesitant to move forward with any of them due to mixed customer feedback from all these platforms. I had a hard time finding a good source of truth. I finally decided to take the risk and try Lodgify based on all their features. Especially the website builder which I heard was amazing (this is what sealed the deal). I can say wholeheartedly that I have no regrets. I am very happy with my decision and would recommend Lodgify to others. I am extremely impressed with how fast I was up and running and their excellent customer support team. No matter when I call, someone always answers and is able to answer my question right away.
Pros
There are so many things I like. For starters, their website builder was very easy to learn. Creating my first rental website was quick and if I ever got stuck I called customer support and they helped me right away. Integrating my OTAs to Lodgify was a seamless process (it did not cost a thing and the customer support was amazing). The customer support team set up time with me to ensure all my connections and information was working well. I was up and running in no time. Lastly, I can't say enough about the excellent customer support and service you can expect to receive from Lodgify. Whenever I have called with questions, they have been able to answer them. Their knowledge article base is very helpful. They make learning their system very easy.
Cons
I wish their Professional plan included ability to set up various bank accounts for multiple properties. I had to upgrade to the Ultimate plan for this feature but Lodgify was kind enough to give me a big discount.

Above my expectations
Pros
- The onboarding process. I needed to have two sessions with [sensitive content hidden] in order to setup my website, connected external platforms like Airbnb and Booking.com, understand and setup the payments and nightly prices. [sensitive content hidden] is a fantastic onboarding specialist and helped me a lot to setup everything I needed without rushing things up because our meetings were usually running overtime.
- The option to have my own website, connect my own domain and the freedom to add pretty much everything that I need to add there.
- Sync between my website and the external platforms (Airbnb, Booking.com, etc)
- Comms, I really like the auto-replies and the emails go out to my customers.
- Season rates is a good concept.
- Lodgify Roadmap: brilliant idea! Listen to your customers and get driven by them shows the character of a company with future!
- Accepting reviews is another nice feature in place.
- I like the blog that includes article to help you regarding setup your account, website, etc, it also helps you understanding how you can promote your website (webinars) and finally to show you success stories and some brilliant examples of rentals.
- Support is also really good, helpful, descriptive and quick.
Cons
- The fact that I have to calculate the weekly or monthly offer that I need to add in a flat amount because it does not accept percentage. For instance, €10 per night, €70 per week, desired weekly offer (10%), I need to add €63. I would prefer to be able to add the percentage (10%)
- I would prefer to have the option to update the prices in the other platforms (Airbnb, Booking.com, etc) and get updated back to my website and vice versa.
- It would be nice if Lodgify was proving services for promoting and advertising your website.

Super Useful Tool
8/10. Great experience. I found the review call with [sensitive content hidden] to be incredibly helpful since Im a newb.
Pros
I appreciate that Lodgify’s channel manager allows me to see the vacation rentals and reservations from multiple sources such as booking.com, expedia, and airbnb.
Cons
Sometimes Lodgify is difficult to work with. Recently, I was locked out of my Lodgify account for 3+ days and they were full of anxiety because I wasnt able to collect payments etc.

Customer Service
We have been with Lodgify since the summer of 2023. Their first-tier customer service reps on the phone are great, they get 5 stars. They solve most issues/questions. However, if they cannot solve the issue and it is sent to their "tech team" (located is some other place, far, far away) service drops to a zero. We have been waiting over 5 weeks on one open ticket (messages to guests were not being sent) and over a week on another (VRBO attachments were no longer being sent). We are in the process of looking at other providers, likely to switch to Hostaway. It's too bad because in many ways they are great, but in the guest services business we can't afford to have them cost us thousands in lost bookings due to poor service.
Pros
When it works. Theis ability to solve basic issues is good.

Highly recommend Lodgify
They are very professional and give help when needed. They continually improve the capabilities of the system and add new features and integrations with other apps. Somebody always answers an email and sticks with it until the issue is resolved.
Pros
It was fairly simple to get my website up and running. I am not tech savvy but format is very user friendly.
Cons
The fact that they are not headquartered in USA some times slows response time a bit...hasn't been a problem though.

Disappointing Experience for Australian Businesses We initially chose Lodgify for our...
Pros
Onboarding easy but once live we realised it did not do what it needed to do for our business so basically we have paid for a year for something we can't use.
Cons
Disappointing Experience for Australian Businesses
We initially chose Lodgify for our Australian business, believing it to be the best option available. The onboarding process was smooth, and we were optimistic about going live. However, during the final session, a critical issue arose - Lodgify was unable to generate invoices with our ABN, a requirement for Australian businesses like ours.
This revelation in the final onboarding meeting was a deal-breaker. Lodgify's inability to meet our invoicing needs rendered the platform unsuitable for our operations. Despite the fact that it took longer than 14 days to set up the account, Lodgify adamantly refused to provide any refund for the upfront payment we made for a full year of service.
For Australian businesses looking for a comprehensive solution, Lodgify's insistence on using a third-party app for invoicing undermines the concept of a one-stop shop. Our experience with Lodgify has been a costly mistake, with over $2000 wasted. We caution other Australian businesses to steer clear of this software to avoid similar frustrations.
In conclusion, Lodgify's failure to address basic invoicing requirements for Australian businesses makes it an impractical choice for those seeking a seamless and integrated solution
Response from Lodgify
Hi Ali,
It's unfortunate to hear about your experience, and we apologize for any inconvenience caused. We understand the importance of meeting your business needs, and we're sorry to hear that our platform didn't meet your expectations regarding invoicing requirements.
While we strive to provide a comprehensive solution for businesses worldwide, we acknowledge that certain country-specific requirements may necessitate additional solutions. We aim to be transparent about our platform's capabilities during the onboarding process, and we apologize if there was any misunderstanding regarding this feature.
We're here to assist you further and address any remaining concerns you may have. However, we cannot engage in detailed discussions or provide resolutions via review platforms. We encourage you to reach out to us directly.

unfair behavior
I purchased the professional package because it was advertised that no commissions were paid on bookings, but then I realized that 4% commissions were applied on transactions via stripe payments. You don't read it in the terms and conditions but on the pricing page you see this commission which is called by a different name, just by hovering over the payment processing item. This is truly incorrect commercial behavior. I asked for a refund of these fees and was denied, replying that their fees are "transparent".
Furthermore, I activated Lodgify the first year at an affordable price, but on the first renewal the increase was exorbitant.
I would add that Google Vacation rentals would also be included in the professional package, but in reality this service does not work.
Ultimately the price plus the fees on each credit card transaction do not justify the usefulness for someone who has only one property like me.
But the worst thing is that the company does not demonstrate honesty in advertising zero booking commissions and then applying them using another name and without this other commission being able to be read on the prices page if not by passing over another item with the mouse.
Pros
building your own website is the only reason lodgify would be useful
Cons
every channel has different way to manage rates. Preview rates doesn't shows the final rate you will get, because they don't consider the adjustment field you can use for every different channel. The app and the website on the cellphone has many glitches is almost impossible to use to modify when you need it because you are away from home.

Lodgify is terrible
It has been frustrating from the start but now that we have 4 rentals and are invested in it, it is difficult to switch to another one but I would do it in a heartbeat. Do not waste your time with Lodgify!!!

In theory I love the features they have but too bad they all do not function properly and have caused us to lose money on resos because of Lodgify's continued errors
Cons
Everything. Their customer support is terrible. all of their features are really buggy.

Using Lodgify
I like this company and it’s services. The customer service is good. There are some things that could be easier but all in all I’m happy with the service.
Pros
Putting everything in one place. Having the calendar, inbox and channel manager together so you can check messages, booking dates etc.
Cons
The onboarding was a lot of work and overwhelming. Not having an overview to start with and not knowing how long it would take.

Looks like I made the right choice choosing this channel manager
Very positve experience so far thanks to the extensive onboarding sessions. This really made the difference in getting me quickly setup and running.
Pros
Really nice platform that can synchronize all the data from the top vacation rental sites. The onboarding is quite involved but luckily they provide you with an expert that sets all the backend rules and default settings for you while showing you around. I spent a very productive 2 hours online with this agent and came out feeling very confident. I had spent some time playing around with a demo account before deciding to jump in, and that did not give me an overview of all the depth and flexibility that Lodgify offers. I'm really glad that I went with them.
Cons
The single calendar view can use some optimizations (the multi calendar view is perfect). But they already told me they were looking into this and that there will be an update soon. In general it seems like they are constantly developing the platform further and so there are constant improvements.
Reasons for Switching to Lodgify
I chose Lodgify because I could easily map different rate structures from Booking.com to Lodgify. Also because the own rental website support was extensive and there was no need to pay additional fees to accept reservations through it.Response from Lodgify

Pros
Ability to easily create my own direct website with a reservation and payment system

Control Vacation Rentals Across Multiple Channels with Lodgify
On-boarding was made easy by their great customer service people. The software is intuitive and easy to use.
Pros
Lodgify allowed us to set up our own website where guests can book our vacation rental easily. It also allowed us to expand the channels that we are listed on and gave us a central location where we can manage pricing and communicate with guests from all those channels.
Cons
Our only negative is that Lodgify does not integrate with (RMS) the reservation system that our rental management company uses.

Hi Phyllis,
Thank you for sharing your experience. We're thrilled to hear that our platform helped expand your reach and simplify guest communication and pricing management.

Go somewhere else
Pros
Payments are really easy and intuitively set up. Support is good.
Cons
Many missing functionalities and integrations.
I used their dynamic pricing tool which cost me a bunch of money as it is wildly ineffective. They weren’t able to get any bookings which was higher than the minimum price I already set and had prior. Waste of money. I asked for a refund as they effectively destroyed my profits, they denied. I then wrote a bad review. They had me go through the process once again only to give the same answer. Waste of my time and money.

I would have to write like 20 paragraphs on how bad they are but if you are not experienced in mapping a property to a channel manager - RUN
Pros
the price is the ONLY thing ok about Lodgify
Cons
Signing up is easy
Connecting to the OTA's (booking, airbnb etc) is a NIGHTMARE
They are unprofessional, slow, rude and worst of all cannot even assist when there is an issue. They send an email on your behalf to support who then tries to get back to you soon. Its a joke.

Lodgify is not what it seems
Worst experience ever!!! And I am not getting my money back. I just wanted to rent my dads home so I can afford the mortgage and keep it in the family. I didn’t meet to make a profit. Just wanted to break even and this has been a difficult experience on top of worrying about loosing the house. Now I am loading almost $500 to a company that is crap and is making enough money to refund me but won’t. Thanks for nothing.
Pros
Nothing. Nothing worked. It took forever to set up and I am sure I lost renters due to the syncing errors and conflicting policies.
Cons
Nothing syncs correctly and when it did it took one month. The policies don’t sync correctly so it shows different policies in different places. When I call customer support it takes them 10 min to answer a simple direct question. They are also not open on the weekends for customer support when most of the business for a vacation rental happens over long weekends. The send you a ridiculous number of emails asking if you need help which are clearly automated. But when you ask for help it is a nightmare to get straight answers. Not to mention it is almost $500 for their best plan which looked great. But now I realize how horrible it is. If I cancel my plan I won’t get a refund for the 10 months that I will not use it. I would suggest not giving them any money because you won’t get it back.
Response from Lodgify
Hi Cheryl,
We appreciate your feedback and want to address your concerns and clarify some points regarding your experience.
We understand that you faced syncing issues and confusion about cancellation policies on different OTAs. The behavior of these policies can vary depending on the platform. For Airbnb, the cancellation policies need to be managed directly on their platform, while for VRBO, the policies are set up in Lodgify following their specific rules. We're actively working to provide clearer guidance on managing these policies.
Your feedback about customer support response times and availability over the weekends is noted, and we are working to improve our service.
Regarding pricing, we value your feedback and are committed to delivering a service that meets your expectations.
Thank you for sharing your insights with us, and we sincerely apologize for any inconvenience caused.

Lodgify has all my vacation rental platforms at my fingertips!
Lodgify's onboarding calls were huge. They enabled me to be more comfortable and less overwhelmed in setting up and managing Lodgify. The calls took away the hesitation and made me feel less overwhelmed about have a platform that managed all of my channels. Our onboarding specialist [sensitive content hidden] made the transition smoothness and was extremely knowledgable in any questions that I needed questions to.
Pros
Lodgify is a good platform to be able to be on multiple vacation rental platforms and have all of my calendars sync in real time. I like the ability to be able to run specials on certain, days, weeks or months and have it populate across multiple platforms as well.
Cons
There were no cons that I can recall. Our onboarding specialist was extremely knowledgable.

A Hands On approach
So far, we are happy with the performance of the program. The people are patient and happy to help with issues that need to be solved. They are quick to answer and knowledgable.
Pros
I wanted to see more of what was happening with my rentals. My previous channel manager did a good job too, but was unable to set the price structure I wanted. Lodgify gives us a lot of options.
Cons
Because Lodgify gives so many options, decisions need to be made that can sometimes be difficult. Also, after looking over our initial setup, there were a few things that I missed and didn't realize it by our onboard help also. It was fixed, but there are a lot of details that need care.

Customer service is kind and always available.
Everything about the experience was excellent, including the onboarding conversations with experts and the excellent customer service! Although I haven't worked on Lodgify for very long, I am certain that having all of our listings on one platform will be worthwhile.
Pros
I enjoy using the reservation system, channel manager, and website builder. I also enjoy that I can use automated messages to engage with guests and accept money based on a percentage that I choose.
Cons
VRBO is lacking a component. Prior to making a reservation, guests must still communicate using the VRBO app. Another would favour other,, more economical ways to pay clients. Compared to other booking sites, 6 1/2% is greater.
