> **Oscar Alberto** | *10 February 2026* | Hospitality | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: Hostex is a growing CMS that has been awesome for us thanks to its high level of integrations and the way it centralizes multiple tools into one platform.
> 
> **Cons**: still need some improvements on reporting or information details to share forward to the homeowners.
> 
> Overall, our experience with Hostex has been very positive, especially due to its continuous improvements and strong integration capabilities.

### "Good value for money" — 5.0/5

> **Gregory** | *9 March 2026* | Consumer Services | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: Comprehensive channel manager, with all the functionalities you can expect.&#10;Hostex can be used on computer or on smartphone.&#10;It is as efficient as costly alternatives.
> 
> **Cons**: - The check-in guide is in English only. Some travellers tend to "check out" while they think they are just providing information.
> 
> In would definitely recommend Hostex&#10;- Global ease of use&#10;- Multiple channels&#10;- Competitive pricing&#10;- Website&#10;- Efficient integration with partners.

### "Hostex simplifies property management" — 5.0/5

> **Oscar** | *15 February 2026* | Hospitality | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: Hostex has been indispensable in managing our vacation rental properties. The channel manager seamlessly syncs calendars across Airbnb, Booking.com, Vrbo, and other OTAs, preventing double bookings. The automated messaging module sends personalized check-in instructions and review requests, saving us time. We also appreciate the unified inbox and ability to manage pricing, cleaning tasks, and guest reviews from one platform. Customer support is responsive and knowledgeable.
> 
> **Cons**: The user interface could be more modern, and customizing email templates is somewhat limited. Some advanced automation features require the Pro plan, which may not be cost-effective for very small portfolios. Reports could also offer more customization.
> 
> Overall, Hostex has been a valuable tool for our short-term rental business. It has streamlined daily operations, reduced manual tasks, and improved communication with guests. It's been reliable and stable, and the support team is attentive. I would recommend it to property managers seeking to automate and scale.

### "The best PMS out there\!\!\!" — 5.0/5

> **Diana** | *14 January 2026* | Hospitality | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: I have been searching for a PMS which would cover my needs. I needed a solution which would allow me to automate my work with 2 platforms (Booking.com and Airbnb) while being able to integrate more platforms, collecting online the documents from the guests and having everything under control without paying much. Hostex is the service I chose from all other services. While other services charge 3-4 times the price, they have non-existent document collection or not the type I wanted and very few options of booking services. Hostex, on the other hand, provides check-in form including the document collection and has 11 booking services that you can integrate (including Google Vocation Rentals) plus additional services like Pricelabs and Rategenie to make the pricing easier. Plus, they have free API\! I have been using Hostex since around May-June 2025 and there were not issues regarding reservation synchronization. When I had issues, support would help me resolve the issue within a day\! I highly recommend this service\!
> 
> **Cons**: The automations more limited compare to Guesty, for instance, but they are sufficient. Also, the Check-in guide design is a bit outdated and the editing is strict and limited but it works for me.

### "Best Holiday Rental Booking software" — 5.0/5

> **Kevin** | *4 December 2025* | Leisure, Travel & Tourism | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: Value for money, Have been using Guesty for Host which is discontinuing.&#10;Found Hostex and using, much easier to use and does everything I need to host 4 properties on Kangaroo Island South Australia.
> 
> **Cons**: Setting up like all software takes time, wish there was easy way to transfer properties from  Guesty or other software.
> 
> Hostex staff online are super helpful with any thing I have not been sure of.&#10;Quick to reply and the booking site offers much more and more professional than previous software
