37 Lodgify Testimonials

"Focus on guest experience and their feedback. Create a brand and get good reviews. Make sure you have beautiful pictures. If you have multiple properties, you need a PMS: managing everything through software will allow you to save time, automate processes and increase your revenue."

“There are many pieces of advice I would offer, but the number one is to research your location and market. See what is out there, see what their availability is, what their rates are, amenities, websites and what other listing platforms they are on.”

“To not stress over the little things. If you go into a property looking for something, you are always going to find it. You’re always going to find something that someone missed [but] if everything is clean, there’s clean sheets, it looks nice and presentable, then it’s okay. So instead of stressing over a little piece of fluff on the floor or a little streak here, don’t stress about the small stuff and show your appreciation to those that help you.”

“We had an old house to renovate, a location rich in history and tradition and the desire to let other people know the charm of this timeless place.”

"The sector was very different when we started. Nobody wanted to get into it, it seemed like a bore to them.”

“What I liked the most about Lodgify was the ability to create my own website and have a Channel Manager available, all on one platform.”

“We obviously have big dreams. We would love to eventually expand to other islands in the Philippines, but we don’t know what to expect. We’re really just living in the moment and making the most of what we have right now.”

“My advice to aspiring vacation rental hosts would be to never give up. Failure is feedback and you’re going to be faced with a lot of challenges as you run and own your own vacation rental. Having to learn new ways again is what’s going to help you continue growing.”

“Firstly, to do this well is not easy. Be prepared to work 24/7 to succeed in the service industry. Secondly, if you are not prepared to run it like a business, you really should consider long-term renting instead. Guests need steady service from inquiry through checkout, and good communication and quick replies will fuel success. Triple-check your calendars and include dates and times and contact info in all communication with guests.”

“Our guests have been very complimentary about our Lodgify website. Most say that the presentation, images, and reviews are what convinced them to book with us at Villa Beachcliff, Grenada. They also say that the website was easy to navigate.”

“Our website is the face of our business, and Lodgify contributed a lot to this.”

“We doubled our bookings and saved a lot of agency commission! We’re fully booked from April to September. Now we can concentrate on talking to guests and so on, because we know that the software just works.”

"People aren’t always going to remember what you say, but they will remember how you make them feel."

"We had no idea about the vacation rental channels and how those are managed. We struggled to get the word out. It helped that the first few rentals were to our friends and family, so we could manage payments on a ‘trust’ basis, but that soon got out of hand."

“I would definitely recommend Lodgify Dynamic Pricing to anyone using Lodgify. I was clueless as to how much we could actually generate. And it’s one less thing we need to worry about, which is great because we both have jobs, so the more time we can free up, the better. And this really helps. We’re very, very pleased with the results.”
