Best Vacation Rental Property Management System (PMS)

Best Vacation Rental Property Management System (PMS)

Member since 2020 · 3 posts · 0 votes

Im looking to move our 5 (soon to be 17) short term rentals over from being solely listed on airbnb, to a comprehensive PMS system to save on airbnb fees and build some efficiencies into our workflow. I've looked into Guesty (which seems too expensive for what I hear to be awful customer service), Hostaway, Owner Rez, and Lodgify. Hostaway is my favorite so far.  Owner Rez sounds like it may be a bit dated and less user friendly, and Lodgify may be primarily good for it's booking system, but otherwise limiting from a features standpoint. 

Pricing per unit for 17 units:

Guesty - $60/month

Hostaway - $35/month

Lodgify - $13/month

TurnoverBnB - $6/month

I've also played with the idea of doing a combination of services to include either Breezeway or TurnoverBnB for their cleaning team systems. Does anyone have a favorite system or cocktail of systems to smoothly run their operation? I would love any thoughts! Thanks y'all!

    Echo the guys above. Really like Hospitable. Also, Hostfully offers a nice digital guidebook.

    Thanks so much y'all! One question about Hospitable: does it have a booking engine feature? If not, how do you guys get bookings directly from your website? Thanks so much for the help! @Doug H. @Justin Beasley @Luke Carl

    I think it’s in “coming soon” phase.

    We use Guesty to manage 40 units and it's the best we've found. You're right, the customer service is the weak spot, but we rarely need it.

     I have no interest in that at this time and you probably won’t either. But if that’s what you want you must use ownerrez

    Turno is awesome, really, one of the best apps I know on the STR industry, but it's not a PMS. Go with Hostaway, great cost-benefit, and it's integrated with Turno as well!
