37 Lodgify Testimonials

“I have been running this place for 3 years now, and nothing ever went missing. Sometimes people take a book but it sure as hell will show up in the post one day. Put trust out there and you will not be disappointed. I don’t even check my guests out, they leave the key and close the door.”

“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.”

"As a brand new user of Lodgify, I have initially been most impressed with the Customer Support! They provide new admins with an individualized training to help set up your account, catered to your business needs. This was invaluable!"

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

“Build a good team around you; you will need to call on a plumber, electrician, handyman, etc., quite regularly and usually when it’s an emergency! Engage with others in your community who are better at things than you, such as social media or styling.”

“Luckily, we found Lodgify before we opened the doors. We even prebooked the casa before it was finished (which helped in paying for the final stages of the build)!”

"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."

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

“Make sure to allocate a good budget for advertisement on social media such as Facebook and Instagram. Start a blog and write relevant articles for potential guests. Start a contest on Facebook. Invite bloggers and journalists to your place at no cost in exchange for visibility. These are all fantastic ways to get your brand out in the world and promote bookings.”

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

"Some nights in this business will be a breeze and some nights will have you question it all. The key is to focus on the bigger picture and why you chose this business. I quit my well-paying job to do this full time and people thought I was crazy, but here I am making just as much as I was before but having so much fun along the way. Surround yourself with an amazing team, focus on your skillset and lean on others to help with your weaknesses."

“Thanks to Lodgify our direct bookings have quadrupled in the first year and a half. Our revenue has increased significantly.”

“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.”

“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.”

“You have to get inspired by searching the internet, seeing what the competition offers, and comparing how you can be different or thinking about what services you can offer so that your business is different from others. You will, as a result, reap the reward by hosting guests who always want to return!”
