Incredible

This app is really impressive! I have one STR that I list on Airbnb, VRBO, and booking. I have used guesty for hosts for 3 years, but greedy guesty is closing down the platform and forcing users to upgrade to a more expensive platform. I searched for alternatives and found this. The price is unbeatable and the software is actually even better than guesty.

I’ve only been using for a week, but wanted to spread the good news. This app rocks. It has tons of integrations with all the major players and I don’t think anything is missing. I’m also surprisingly really impressed with the AI message capability so far. I’m very glad I switched!

My only complaints are:
1. It doesn’t offer a dark mode.
2. You can’t change your default home screen.
3. It doesn’t display guest photos in the app. Maybe API doesn’t share those for privacy reasons, not sure.

Hopefully devs can add those options!

So close to outstanding

This PMS punches way above its weight class at a fraction of the cost of many other providers.

It has features and support for stuff that no other PMS even comes close to.

However it is so buggy you might not have the patience for it.

I just spent 30 minutes trying to upload a receipt image. It simply will not work unless I force-close the app and relaunch.

Owner reports are already so clunky and tedious and then every time I try to work on them one gets stuck and we cannot generate reports until that previous request is manually reset by support team.

If these folks could tighten these and similar bugs up it would deserve top marks.

In the meantime be ready to be chatting with support team easily once a week.

Swapped from Guesty

This software and app is so easy to use and staff are incredibly helpful if needed
I have asked about features and suddenly they appear for all users
Booking site is much more professional

Do not use this platform

If I could give it 0 stars I would. They double booked one of my homes. Customer service takes forever to respond. They will put the blame on you as well. Never received notifications from them, even though notifications were on. Waste of my money. Don’t use them.

Response from developer

Dear user, we take reports of double-bookings very seriously, but after a thorough investigation of our system logs and support records, we find no record of any such incident or any communication from your side. Hostex uses official API integrations that prevent double-bookings by syncing calendars in real-time. Additionally, our 7/24 support team typically responds within minutes, yet we have no history of a conversation matching your description. To help us investigate this further, please provide your account email or ticket number to contact@hostex.io.

Account suspended after trial period with no way to subscribe

Awful support by chat, they don’t let you subscribe until you have reservations in Airbnb. And if you are not on Airbnb , they don’t allow to subscribe. I don’t understand the logic behind!

Missing a lot

This could be a great PM software but misses on a lot of important little things.

used caution

platform does not reliably push prices to channels resulting in major under charges.

Response from developer

Hi, we take pricing accuracy very seriously as it is the core of our channel management service. We have conducted a thorough audit of our sync logs and haven't found any system-wide issues or specific reports regarding 'undercharges' for this period. Hostex uses high-frequency API syncs to ensure your rates are always up to date across all platforms. Usually, such issues arise from incorrect manual settings (like Base Price or Currency Conversion in the channel itself) rather than a push failure. Because we have no record of your case in our support history, please contact us immediately at contact@hostex.io with your account ID. We want to verify if this is a genuine issue or a configuration error.

Both good and not good at the same time

Lots of really great features but definitely some things they need to work out too, starting with the error messages and the limitations that come from bringing on properties that you cohost. The personal booking site is also confusing and doesn’t actually provide a link unless you jump through several hoops to get it. It also isn’t prominent enough to bring anything anyway. There is seemingly no way to truly and easily reach support and they make that pretty known by just connecting you to a bot. I like it a lot, it’s made my life quite a bit easier, but it does have room for improvement

Dangerous

This is a dangerous app to try and use, because they don’t pull over your settings from Airbnb, I have never had instant booking allowed yet they allowed it without me knowing, and I blocked off dates on Airbnb that they didn’t transition over so now I’ve had instant books on blocked dates without me knowing, so now I’m gonna get charged by Airbnb. They also make you wait five days to cancel so you have five days where people can instantly book block dates and cause you absolute mania on your Airbnb. Do not use this app.

Response from developer

Hi there, it seems there is a significant misunderstanding regarding how Airbnb’s integration works with all professional software. 1. Airbnb’s Instant Book Policy: It is an official Airbnb requirement that Instant Book is automatically enabled whenever a host connects their account to any professional Channel Manager or PMS via API. This is not a Hostex setting; it’s an Airbnb rule. We provide a large, clear notification about this during the very first step of the connection process. 2. Calendar Sync: Hostex syncs all blocked dates in real-time. If dates are blocked in Hostex, they are blocked across all channels. 3. No Cancellation Wait: There is absolutely no '5-day wait' to disconnect or cancel. Users can disconnect their accounts or stop using the service instantly at any time. We are sorry to see such a misleading description of standard industry practices. We are committed to transparency, and our support is always here to help new hosts navigate these Airbnb-mandated transitions.

Great features, best value

Great experience so far managing multiple properties on 4 platforms. Good customer support and software is fairly reliable. New features get shipped quickly too.

Una gema

Great prices and even better support

The price is far cheaper than others but there is so so much available and the value is amazing. It actually does what they say and there support is amazing. Not sure why I tried anyone else before using hostex.

Great app, and slowly getting better

The app works well it may feel that it is still in early stages for some parts, but overall works fine, it allows you to do lots of configuration stuff without having to use the browser on PC. Notifications need some improvement as when clicking on them it does not open the app in the right place, overall a good experience, also support has been great, not sure why the other review complained about it.
