Requiring me to get out my laptop which is defeating the purpose of an app! ### 2/5 — Needs work *2024-04-29* The app loads super super slowly. Half the time I have to close out of it completely because it won’t load at all. It is also not sending me new notifications from clients. I get notified on airbnb and Vrbo then I go check Hostfully and yep, there is a new message. I really need the app to work better as I am constantly out and about rather than sitting in front of my computer. ### 5/5 — Hostfully is a lifesaver! *2024-03-30, version 23.3.5* ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Hostfully exceeded my expectations! The user-friendly interface made listing my property a breeze, and the extensive features, like automated messaging and calendar syncing, streamlined management. Their excellent customer support and commitment to innovation make them my top choice for vacation rental management. Highly recommend! ### 5/5 — Awesome App *2024-03-27, version 23.3.5* I love Hostfully!! They have great customer service are always updating things to make things run smoothly! ### 5/5 — love love love *2024-02-26, version 24.2.2* has really made managing our properties a lot easier. Also happy with the support. ### 5/5 — 5⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️🎉👏 *2024-02-18* Hostfully’s app is extremely robust, yet user friendly. It allows me as a host to run multiple vacation rentals on numerous booking platforms seamlessly. With a click of a button, quotes can be sent and all communication / calendars can be managed from one central location. Reporting goes direct to owners in their reporting module, streamlining my business. Top notch customer support! 👏There are a lot of choices, and we are thrilled that we chose Hostfully as our partner. Highly recommend! 🎉 ### 5/5 — Game changer *2024-01-25* Hostfully has helped streamline so many aspects of my short term rental business. Besides the business aspect they are just really great people to talk with. Highly recommend ### 5/5 — Amazing, increased bookings and simple easy to use UI *2024-01-09, version 7.0.0* Great product and support is even better. Helps property managers a ton!! Super high value ### 5/5 — HUGE SUCCESS WIth Hostfully! *2023-12-20* Started October with Hostfully to be have a hands on approach with my properties. Guest response doubled, using 3 channels plus Direct. Booking using hostfully site. I Love the automation,. Being able to brand my logo on the direct booking site & all the exchanges between channels & guest saves hours of my time. So I do not feel stressed when addressing a guest personally. Most of their questions are already answered In the automation messages & a great relationship is already established. The team chat is awesome, quick responses, reviews information carefully & refers me to excellent articles for better understanding platforms & the varing bookin channeles. Also they seen clear photo snapes showing exactly how to navigate changes for the website or guest issues. ### 5/5 — Hostfully. *2023-12-20* Great platform from both price point and tools supplied. Tech support always has its challenges everywhere. But I have found tech support here to be far better than what I am dealing with on other channels and software add ins. I’ve been using the system going on 2 years and really think it is getting better and better. I’ve been recruited to go else where and always take a look but so far have not seen much temptation to change. Hostfully is great I would recommend giving it a try. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Worst app ever *2025-05-18, version 25.4.1* I wish I can make it less than one start. They don’t know what they are doing. The app is not working, they said the tech department made an update and they were blaming apple store for not doing their part but I have also Android phone and 2 laptops, 2 iPhones and the app doesn’t work. They still not resolved the issue and it has been a hard day trying to figure it out the properties. RUN!!!! Don’t use it ### 1/5 — Absolutely Crazy *2025-03-05* The software is great when it works but the second you have a problem your minimum wait to talk to someone is 20 minutes and it’s via text and that person will have litteraly minimal knowledge of the software and then they will escalate it to level two who you will never and I mean never hear back from. You are essentially on your own even with serious issues that will cost your company bookings. Just one example the system was not delivering my messages to guests at all so all of my messages weren’t being received including check in instructions and answering guest questions. Level two received this about a week and a half ago and I never heard even a single word back. Nothing not even when it was this serious. I’ve had multiple examples of this play out over and over. There is absolutely no one who you can talk to get help in a serious situation and you can not get a manager or anyone beyond the level one support. The owner of this company should be ashamed the software is fantastic but when you leave your customers out In the cold like this it’s absolutely absurd. People’s businesses are on the line, allot of money is at stake and litteraly no one will help you. Most of the time you can get more information out of ChatGPT but when it’s a serious technical issue and you need something done ASAP, you are up the creek. ### 1/5 — Needs improvement! *2024-05-08* App keeps lagging, logging me off and I have to exit the app to refresh pretty often because content does not load or it is stuck. It is really frustrating to use. Currently, it is just not loading anything for me at all. Whenever i open the app, all i see are the three dots… ### 1/5 — Super Slow App with Missing Features *2024-04-21* I’ve been so disappointed with Hostfully’s app. It has been getting slower and slower every day and I’m sick of seeing the “blue dots of death” as the screen loads and loads and loads. There are so many features missing from the app too that are only available on the desktop version, which makes looking things up on-site difficult. ### 1/5 — Total waste *2024-04-12, version 24.4.1* If I could give it negative five stars, I would. Nothing like waiting 20-30 seconds to get guest information while you have a guest on the phone and you’re trying to retrieve their info. PIECE OF TRASH! ### 1/5 — Relentless Bugs, Horrendous Support, Poor Development *2024-03-19* We have used Hostfully for a number of years and been overall disappointed with the amount of bugs they can’t seem to solve in a timely manner. Support is limited to live chat, which responds like a broken record “We have reached out to our Dev team and they are working on it!”. This goes on for weeks, and they require constant badgering to get updates. The features are all there to make a solid PMS, and I think it would be a great platform if it was stable - but the software is constantly breaking and takes weeks to solve simple issues. App is painfully slow. I’ll consider adjusting my review once they fix our texting feature, which we have programmed to be the basis of our operation for guest communication. Overall, if you’re looking to transition to a PMS, I’d look elsewhere for a more stable option with competent support agents. ### 1/5 — Total waste *2024-03-09* Just use mobile web. The app is awful and slow. Total waste of time. ### 1/5 — Stay away! *2024-02-14* The app is terrible and virtually useless. The platform itself has some great concepts but they aren’t truly available and usable. Random bugs cause property details to change and thus not searchable on VRBO and AirBnB. Getting live help is virtually impossible. To top things off they recommend Stripe for payment processing without fully explaining the process. Then Stripe won’t distribute your funds which currently has me in a death loop submitting the same information over and over and refusing to send my payouts. ### 1/5 — Worst App Ever *2023-11-18* Inability to change rates; inability to move guests from one unit to another; messages do not come over from VRBO; messages do not come over from co-host in Airbnb; inability to add additional days or delete days to a reservation. Basically, the desktop has to be used for everything, which you can’t modify daily rates on that either…. The only thing the app does is allow you to see the calendar, which is helpful. ### 1/5 — Total waste *2023-10-24* Just use mobile web. The app is awful and slow. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Game changing Prop Management for STR *2025-05-16* I will admit that while the onboarding process takes a while and there is quite a lot of work to get this going, the effort is totally worth it. The flexibility it provides me as a host to more personally interact, add upsells (I have a farm with all kinds of goodies), get paid on referrals to local activities and tours, integrate with a ton of marketing channels, customize my correspondence, manage pricing, I could go on…I am totally empowered now to expand my portfolio of STR’s and feel confident I am engaging with the marketplace and my clients in the best way…and earn what I need to make it all worthwhile. Thank you Hostfully! ### 5/5 — Great calendar coordination *2025-03-06* We are not even finished with our first year of running the short term rental, but I’ve seen huge benefits from joining Hostfully. Previously, we were only on with one of the OTA‘s. As soon as we joined Hostfully, we immediately started getting bookings from the other major OTA. Our primetime calendar is nearly full, and we have also gotten off-season bookings that I wouldn’t have expected. It makes it so nice to coordinate the calendars between all of the OTA’s and our direct bookings. Joining Hostfully and using this app was a great decision! ### 5/5 — All in one place *2024-12-24* We started using in Sept 2024 and it has solved a lot of issues managing our properties. Messaging consolidation, pricing standardization (with Pricelabs as addon), and cross-channel calendar visualization are among the top benefits. Definitely worth it! ### 5/5 — Great app *2024-09-29, version 24.9.1* This is an absolutely awesome app. ### 5/5 — This App makes STR Easy! *2024-08-27* I love how I have everything I need right at my fingertips! Wether messaging guests or creating a new booking, Hostfully makes it easy! ### 5/5 — Very Impressive *2024-08-27* We just started with Hostfully and the app is a lifesaver. I run my business from my car and on the go. It’s fast and has everything I need at my finger tips. The new AI suggested responses saved me a ton of time. Highly innovative. We 💕 it. ### 5/5 — Couldn’t run my business without it! *2024-08-27, version 24.8.1* This app has amazing features and gives me the ability to manage my STR business while on the road…which is most of the time! Highly suggested. ### 5/5 — Game Changer! *2024-08-27* Love the Hostfully mobile app! Being able to receive notifications and respond on the go is priceless! ### 5/5 — Game-Changer for Effortless Property Management! 🚀 *2024-08-27* I’m absolutely loving how this app keeps me on top of everything—responding to guests, managing bookings, and staying on track with my calendar. It’s a total lifesaver! The AI-suggested responses are an absolute game-changer, making communication smoother and faster than ever. Can’t imagine managing without it! 🚀👏 ### 5/5 — Great Platform *2024-07-05, version 24.6.2* Hostfully guidebooks are industry leader. It allows Hosts to upsell to current guests to maximize revenues. I highly recommended. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
