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.”

“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.”

“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.”

“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.”

"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."

“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)!”

"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."

"The vacation rental world is being increasingly populated by innovative new tools and services for owners and managers. Among them, Lodgify is one that's definitely here to stay."

"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."

"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."

"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."

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

“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!”
