About Guesty Lite

Guesty is a global, all-in-one property management software for professional short-term and vacation rental companies and hosts with properties across multiple booking sites. Guesty’s property management software (PMS) enables users to scale their businesses by centralizing all of their activity and automating repetitive and time-consuming operations. Guesty's key features include a Channel Manager, a Multi-Calendar that showcases all reservations regardless of where they were booked, Automation Tools, a Unified Inbox, a native Mobile Management App, Task Management, Reporting and Analytics tools, and secure Payment Processing, as well as 24/7 Guest Communication Services to help make guests’ stays more enjoyable.

With Guesty's Channel Manager, users can manage several booking channels such as Airbnb, HomeAway, Booking.com, VRBO, Expedia and more, all from one place.

The Multi-Calendar allows property managers to view and control pricing and availability for all property listings via a single dashboard.

The Unified Inbox consolidates communication with all guests, enabling users to read and send messages via email, SMS, or Airbnb in a single thread. The Inbox also showcases reservation information relevant to each guest, for quick reference.

With Automation Tools, users can automate routine messages to guests, answer booking inquiries, notify guests of payment collection, generate reviews, and more.

Guesty’s Reporting & Analytics Tools enable property managers to track commissions and reservations, build revenue reports, and view other important data, as well as save and share customized reports in order to analyze and monitor the success of the business.

The property management mobile App allows managers to use Guesty's tools on-the-go and connect with staff through Task Management features, which they can use to assign and distribute tasks as well as monitor progress.
Guesty enables users to promote their listings independently through a Branded Booking Website with synchronization across all listings from the account to the site.

Users can receive and collect payments through a secure Payment Processor, as well as schedule Auto-Payments via the Guesty dashboard with just one click. Guesty allows users to automatically log transactions, send invoices to guests, and view balances.

The Owners Portal is a place where users can share and visualize data for their homeowners, and where homeowners can reserve time in their properties for themselves.

Guesty's 24/7 Guest Communication Services allow property managers to forward guest inquiries and support needs to a team of customer service experts who are ready to answer calls around the clock.

Guesty has direct integrations with:
Airbnb, Booking.com, TripAdvisor Rentals, Agoda, Rentals United and several other OTAs as well as a comprehensive collection of third-party resources that make short-term property management easier.

    My overall experience is good. I do like the system, it could be a bit more user friendly in some areas.

    Pros

    I like the calendar feature and the feature to view property specifics. It is easy to use and user friendly. The process to set up agents in the system is extremely easy as well. I Love the fact that we are able to load the links to all property specifics from the actual Guesty system.

    Cons

    The payment process is a bit all over the place. You are able to add credit cards and sometimes it is hard to find out which button will actually process the payment in real time. Sometimes we have to enter the information and let the system manually take it.

    Response from Guesty

    Hi LaShonne, we're thrilled to know we've made things more manageable for you. Wishing you a wonderful day ahead!

    Thanks,

    ABYSMAL. Find another service to manage your property(ies).

    Pros

    The automated messaging and integrated in box is about the only thing this software has going for it.

    Cons

    AI driven customer service is the downfall of this platform. This software works great until it doesn't. Then you can spend countless hours going in loops with AI that cannot answer a specific question. Emails that are sent for help fall into a black hole and are never answered. My pricing is accurate of GFH, but is incorrect on my booking platforms and I am looking to lose money on my property, lose quality guests and possibly ruin my listing reputation. I am looking for a new integration service because this has failed me. I would not recommend it to anyone.

    Reviewed on 2024/03/23

    Pros

    I am very happy with the integration modules allowing cross promotion between platforms, and the ability to manage smart locks via the site relieves a lot of stress and reduces manual input required.

    Cons

    The calendar functionality used on a mobile device, can be a little more user friendly. Often when editing current reservations or updating blocked out dates, it takes a few hops, skips, and jumps to get the task accomplished.
