A bit buggy

It’s an ok app, the idea is great, but it lacks features like, adjusting the reservation and doesn’t display very many details about the bookings. It’s also a bit glitchy. Anytime the guest made a change, it did not show on my end.
I had a guest say they booked another reservation but it did not show up on my end. I had to coordinate with the guest outside of the app because the app was not communicating correctly.

Small fee

A small fee is 1-2%, not 10%.

Response from developer

Thank you for your feedback. We understand that fees are an important consideration. Our current fee of 10% is necessary to cover the costs of maintaining the high level of service and security our users expect. Our payment provider alone charges more than 2% for each transaction, meaning unfortunately those fees alone would not cover our business expenses. We strive to provide a seamless and safe experience for all our users, and we are continuously working to improve. If you have any further suggestions or questions, please feel free to reach out to our support team. Best regards, The Vanly Team

Undiscovered gem

Very easy to use. More need to discover it!

What a great app!

So thankful to have the option to have quiet neighborhood rv /van spots outside of RV parks and questionable neighborhoods.

Awesome, easy to use app

This app is sooo user friendly. Love being able to see availabilities on the map and be able to filter by prices, amenities, and size. You can tell the creators but a lot of thought into it. Definitely would recommend this to anyone looking for a safe place to stay while traveling in their vans.

Incredible app!

I love using Vanly when I am going on a road trip. The experience of staying in a residential area goes a long way compared to a motel. I have started to list my home on Vanly as well for travelers to stay at.

Awesome app!

Such a cool way to travel and connect with people! Vanly is great!

Best app for travel you can find

I’ve been using this app for about a month as a traveling van-lifer. This app makes it easy peasy lemon squeezy to find quality places to stay in a pinch. It takes no time at all to contact hosts and everyone has been so sweet and welcoming. 10/10 recommend this app!

Cool app

Useful app but more social interaction need! Met some cool peeps in New York.

Convenient Parking Everywhere!

The only downside of van life is finding a place to park your home. Vanly solves this wonderfully by providing access to safe spaces and amenities

Ballin and shot callin!

Great app! Super smooth and easy to use, it was awesome to have in the middle of nowhere California when we needed a space to park for the night.

BEST APP

YO THIS APP IS BOMB DIGGITY. #VANLIFE!!

Support

I needed a place to stay. I kept being moved and woken up by the cops. Helped give me a place to stay and get some sleep!

Great guests and friends

Having hosted a few people at our place we’ve met awesome people who were super cool and awesome guests. We have the extra parking space and it’s nice to have a new person around who’s been on neat travels!

Hands-off and honestly pretty fun

I have hosted like 5 people so far. It is a total different experience from Airbnb. The service is super hands-off and I got the meet super cool travelers. Btw, come stay at my driveway if you are passing by!

I LOVE Vanly!!

I am so stoked Vanly exists, I have met amazing people and stayed in amazing places because of it!

I love Vanly!!!!

What a cool idea! I am so excited to travel with this app in my tool box. It’s new, hip, and easy!

Straight-forward and easy to use while on the go!

I am so grateful that an app like this exists. I have been wandering through the state of California with hopes to stay in historical and beautiful areas like Big Sur, Santa Cruz, and Humboldt. Ever since getting on this app, being able to make my dreams of experiencing those sacred lands has felt so much less stressful and available to my beagle and I while we travel in our Westfalia. Possibilities are out there! I can’t wait to keep going forward and being on the road. Thank you Vanly for all you have provided vanlifers like me :-)

Really helpful

This app is really great for vanlifers and hosts alike connecting people who love to adventure! Offering safe spaces for vanlifers to park it has helped many of my friends who love to live on the road!

Great app - extremely useful on the go

I have been waiting for something like Vanly. As a traveler in my mini Toyota RV, it’s hard to find safe parking (especially with WiFi). Vanly has consistently provided me with safe places and cool hosts. I’ve met some incredible people through this app.
