37 Lodgify Testimonials

“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.”

"Familiarize yourself with municipal short-term rental rules and regulations. Whether it’s an established destination you’re looking to buy in, or if tourism is still somewhat nascent, it’s crucial to understand what is and isn’t allowed."

"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."

"Well, I think it’s really important to identify what your market is going to be. For us, we are a luxury one-bedroom villa rental that is all about a couple’s experience. I would just say go with your strong suit and find what works for you."

“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.”

"We couldn’t have managed it all so easily in our first year without the Lodgify software allowing customers to self-serve up to the point of arrival."

“To improve our online visibility, we post frequently on Facebook and Instagram, as well as blog on sites such as Houfy.com. This is an owner and traveler-oriented platform which encourages everyone to book direct, cut out the middleman and save guests booking fees while guaranteeing one-on-one owner service. Communicating freely with guests is key to building trust and increasing bookings.”

"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."

“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)!”

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

"I was thrilled when I found Lodgify and found out that they would help me get all the back office items synchronized. I could synchronize the Lodgify calendar to my calendar, and that was very helpful."

“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!”

"The onboarding process was very fast and professional, it helped me to get started. Lodgify contains most of what I need in my business, channel management, unified inbox and a calendar that gives me a good overview."

“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.”

“Lodgify has helped us to be more present on the international market and its guides are perfect in developing the technical side to that.”
