Speaking from a personal point of view (Your Porter) Guesty for hosts API is improving and evolving all the time so what we see now will not be the same by Q4 of 2022 - house rules - etc That you couldn’t sync
Starting my 1st AirBnB soon. I love the idea of a digital guidebook offered on Hostly but I do prefer the Guestly for Hosts platform. What would you suggest? Thank you
I disagree that you should focus on one platform. I have been a host since 2009 and unfortunately a platform can stop performing . I would recommend use a few platforms so you can change as the market changes. I know many hosts who went under because they stuck with the same platforms.
NEVER NEVER NEVER USE GUESTY!!! CUSTOMER SERVICE IS HORRIBLE. You cannot speak to a person you cannot unlock their control over your property on Airbnb. They DOUBLE BOOK YOUR PROPERTY COSTING YOU $1000 and there is no recourse.
Hey man! Thanks for the content, loves your channel. May I ask is there a way where you can duplicate the listing and auto create it on other channels? Or needs to create a listing individually on each platform then sync them? Thank you :)
Hi Danny, Danny, I had an experience when contacting Guesty's Australian office, and they requested a one-time training fee of $1400 USD. Is that a serious matter?
Hi there! I'm a new host with only 1 property and new user of Guesty for Hosts since November 2022. My Guesty looks completely different from what you're showing here and what I've seen in other videos. Did Guesty do a major update to their view since this video or are you showing Guesty for Pros?
Kinda surprised you didn’t know what revenue Management was?! Beyond pricing?! Hence why the user used a fixed nightly rate. Missed opportunity there .:
Do you happen to know if you can add manual charges, such as electricity bill, water etc, and it allows you to keep a balance per unit? I work with kigopro right now and it's a pain in the.... I manage and rent +40 properties, so I would also love to find out if there's a software that helps you keep track of the services due dates... I love google calendar, but I think it's easier to keep everything on the same page.
Hospitable DOES allow automated messaging when a cancellation occurs ! I use it myself and get appreciation for the follow up from guests and sometimes some very good insights from them as well.
I am using various PMS, changing monthly almost. I have various video reviews coming out over the coming months. Lodgify, OwnerRez, iGMS, Hosttools, Hostaway, UpListing - it depends on what you're looking for. My situaiton is prob diff than yours. What features are most improtanat for you?
@@OptimizeMyAirbnb I only have 3 properties so ease of use, consolidated control of pricing and calendar so I don't have to update each site. I would love robust pricing discounts option for lets say late booking. I didn't see much of that available with the exception of Hostaway. And I personally love reporting which is obviously missing from Hospitable. I have spoken with Hospitable and they say that their reporting / metrics/ kpi functions are in heavy development. They would not commit to a time but it seemed closer than not if they are to be believed. Probabl by EOY. I liked IGMs but it was a bit more expensive and obviously with just 3 properties that is an issue. I also like Lodgify and love that they gave me a sandbox to play in. Hostaway was way to expensive for me.
Question for you or other Guesty users. I have a cabin, property manager has my cabin and 12 others using Guesty. I'm fine with the monthly spreadsheet and/or info regarding my cabin. But, it doesn't show nighty rate, how many animals charged and the pet fees. Property manager stated she cannot individually separate them. I'm thinking property manager is charging for pets and keeping the fees. Thus, saying she cannot display them separately because of this. Any input on this whether or not you can list the pet fees in separate categories?
Your review was for Guesty Pro but your price comparison at the end was for Guesty For Hosts which is a completely different product with very limited functionality.
@@OptimizeMyAirbnb Sure I understand you were comparing the price with Hospitable, but the price page you displayed for Guesty was for 'Guesty for hosts' not 'Guesty for Pros'. Guesty for hosts is a different more simplified software (the old Your Porter App). Guesty for Pros has a $1000+ onboarding fee and tiered fees. They don't display the price for Guesty for Pros. Guesty for hosts and Hospitable would make a very good like for like comparison. I preferred Hospitable with the exception of the lack of finance reporting :)
@@brightonholidayletsTV Understood! And yea, that's confusing on my part. Hospitable has been "working" on the financial reports for maybe 2 years now.
@@OptimizeMyAirbnb Not sure what you mean about 2015, your oldest video is from 4 years ago and you personally said in this video that you started Guesty in 2013
@@stefan1669 I suppose I wasn't clear. In 2015, I was Guesty's biggest client (or one of them) with 75 listings. That's when I first started using them. In 2016 or 2017, I started using Smartbnb, which is now Hospitalbe. I hope that clears things up!

For digital guidebooks I recomend Hostfully

While that's true, I support optimizing your listing in 1 platform at a time
Loud background music I couldn't focus on what is being said here!
I'll keep that in mind for future videos!

What service do you use?
Thank you, but you jump from subject to subject which is so hard to follow specially with the background music.
Thanks for the feedback, I believe my UA-cam skills have improved in the last few videos!
Hospitable does let you send a message to a guest if they cancel

Good question. Would like to know that too, please.
Good question, try to reach out to Guesty’s customer support
Great video. Thank you!
Hi Danny, Danny, I had an experience when contacting Guesty's Australian office, and they requested a one-time training fee of $1400 USD. Is that a serious matter?
I don't believe a service like this should be charging $1400 to train one person how to use their software
Guesty or lodgify?? Im kind of confuse choosing property management system.. 🥴
Guesty is suitable for advanced automation and customization. Lodgify, help creating websites for direct bookings.
Nice Job!

Guesty for Pros = 4+ listings
Guesty for Hosts = 1-3 listings (I have a tutorial video coming out this week)
Kinda surprised you didn’t know what revenue Management was?!
Beyond pricing?!
Hence why the user used a fixed nightly rate.
Missed opportunity there .:
Who says I don't know what rev mgmt is? I don't think I recall the point you're referencing in the video. Can you post a timestamp?

I'm not following your question?
Hi sir,
Can you help me? I want know how to make connection between custom website to guesty pro
You should join my UA-cam channel, I do a monthly Q&A and answer questions like that 🔥

I stand corrected! Thank you for the comment
Hello, excuseme, do you know if can I get mor than 1 account at the same time in guesty for home?
Thank you very much
Yes, you can. I've seen accounts with more than 100 Airbnb listings connected.
Are you still using Hospitable and if you were starting from scratch choosing a service would you chose Hospitable today?.

That I do not know. Maybe reach out to Guesty? There is a separete charge on Airbnb for this amount so I would imagine it's possible.
Guesty also charges one time integration, something along the side of $1200 USD
WOW! seems negotable
How much does Guesty charge for 24/7 communication?
They don't do that.
