"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."
"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."
"The sector was very different when we started. Nobody wanted to get into it, it seemed like a bore to them.”
"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."
“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!”
"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."
"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."
"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."
“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.”
“Thanks to Lodgify, I understand that having your own vacation rental website is very important to show off your product. But at the same time, the site must be manageable and the interface has to be user-friendly – like Lodgify’s is. Remember that your main job is hosting, that is why you need a software that can really help you and simplify your tasks. Not something that wastes your time and complicates things even further.”
"I think it’s clear that without a tool like Lodgify, we would not be able to manage a portfolio like 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.”
"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!"
