Lodgify is the hosting app for independent hosts and property managers. Sync your bookings, reply to guests, manage your calendar and stay on top of every property — from one place, on the go.

Whether you have one rental or one hundred, Lodgify keeps your day running while you are not at your desk.

WHAT YOU CAN DO

Sync bookings across booking sites
Connect Airbnb, Vrbo and Booking.com. Reservations land in one place. Calendars update automatically. Stop double bookings before they happen.

Run your team
Assign tasks, view your task calendar and keep cleaners and maintenance staff in sync.

### 1/5 — Trash Company

*2026-06-28*

Do not waste your time with this trash company!  They did an update in 2026 and the platform doesn’t work correctly at all.  They care more about logo design than proper functionality.  They did not provide the services I paid for and I purchased the ultimate plan.  They then refused to refund my money after acknowledging they have platform workflow issues.  Messaging being sent at the wrong times, scheduled welcome messages for unbooked customers, channel connection issues, customer reviews not showing after they leave them, subpar website design.  They just send messages back saying their team is working on it and then they never do.  There are a lot of issues now in 2026 and reviews are showing it.  Do yourself a favor and find a professional STR management platform.  They bait and switch and Lodgify is not the #1 PM platform.  The only reason I chose them was the direct booking website which is very lacking in design functionality.  You can do better and cheaper outside of Lodgify.

**Developer response:** Hi, I'm Anila, Product Director at Lodgify. I'm truly sorry to hear about your experience. I can see how frustrating this must have been, and I'd really like the opportunity to better understand each of the issues you've encountered and personally ensure they're reviewed by the right teams. If you're open to it, please reach out to me directly at anila@lodgify.com with your account details. Your feedback is valuable, and I'd love the chance to make things right and improve the product for you and our other customers.

### 1/5 — Critical sync failure left guests stranded do not trust

*2026-06-22*

Absolutely terrible experience. I use Lodgify to manage multiple vacation rental channels, but their system completely failed to sync a Vrbo reservation to the calendar. Because of this critical glitch, guests arrived at an uncleaned unit after a long trip, completely blindsided. A property management software has one primary job: accurate calendar syncing. If it cannot do that reliably, it is completely useless and actively damages a business's reputation. Avoid this platform if you manage multiple channels.

### 1/5 — Can’t see the booked days

*2026-05-14, version 6.0.0*

It’s hard to see the booked days on the calendar, there’s no contrast

### 5/5 — What happened to reports?

*2026-05-14*

The app used to be a solid 3.5 due to its missing parity with the website and even though it’s not 100% the same, their most recent update has made it run way faster than before and def worth using on a regular basis. Keep up the good work!

**Developer response:** Hello Sokun! To handle this case with you, could you reach out to me at cristina@lodgify.com? We haven't removed any revenue-related content from the app. I would love to help with the revenue visibility! Speak to you very soon!

### 1/5 — Please stop redesigning the app

*2026-05-13, version 6.0.0*

It was already hard enough to navigate and remember where everything is. The redesign was unnecessary and just serves to confuse

### 5/5 — User friendly

*2026-05-13, version 6.0.0*

Great app for small businesses, easy to use and manage your bookings. Offers  reports insights all you need.

### 1/5 — DO NOT USE THIS

*2026-04-26, version 5.13.0*

It will cost you 100x what the subscription costs. It’s absolute trash. It just cost me two peak week bookings because it doesn’t work. Whoever runs this thing is a total moron. If you invested in this trash your money is already gone. I may sue these idiots for total incompetence.

### 1/5 — Technical issues and more

*2026-04-13, version 5.12.1*

Half the time nothing works and support acts like it’s my issue. Stuck because I can’t get a refund for my annual subscription. Definitely wish I started with a monthly subscription instead of accepting a discount for the annual subscription

### 5/5 — Love Lodgify!

*2026-03-30*

I had Guesty before, Lodgify is a lot more tech friendly and the website is beautiful. They have a lot of integrations and everything is pretty easy to set up!

**Developer response:** Hi there! Thank you so much for the amazing review. We’re thrilled to hear that you’re finding Lodgify more intuitive and that you're loving your new website! Our goal is to make the technical side of vacation rentals as seamless as possible, so it’s great to know the setup and integrations are working well for you. Welcome to the community! :)

### 1/5 — Do Not Integrate your properties with Lodgify

*2026-03-26*

I am glad I don’t have a large portfolio. My luxe properties and hands-on service are not a match for this basic calendar synching program. I do not recommend using this to manage listings on OTA properties. The syncing just isn’t sophisticated enough. For example, if you want to list on VRBO — you can’t enact their Damage Insurance, so if you want to get a security deposit in lieu, it’s a  different payment system. I understand why that’s the case, but it’s more straightforward to manage that directly in VRBO.
