I am very new to short-term rentals and I appreciate the contract and insurance that were offered. There was also a warning about a last minute reservation that I should have heeded. My Ring doorbell... See more

Bottom line.. Support needs to have a better response. A few days to respond is not support especially if the site has a problem.

I found Houfy about a year and a half ago. I love that it allows me gain attraction for my rental properties and gives my past guest a place to rebook from without the fees that other platforms charge.

The site does exactly what it claims. Allows direct bookings without having to go through the big guys. But it doesn’t market and never claimed to. I suppose I need better ways to get returning guests to use it.

I’ve been with Houfy since 2021. For a nominal fee it’s a beautiful platform that is easier to use than the others. I always go there to see my synced calendars as they are more user friendly than the others. I’ve had great success with Houfy over the years as Houfy has often out performed the other platforms.
If I have a question, I send a direct message to admin (owners) and a response is received with any fix requested or change without delay.
Hosts must use their own skills to promote Houfy direct booking as it’s still not mainstream yet. This is easily done by telling guests how to save on booking fees next time. Using the direct to Houfy link when posting on social media. Include the link in all media digital or otherwise. It’s been a fantastic resource for my STR.

Easy platform to navigate as a host. Easy to set up listings, fees, and edit the properties.

The ability to host on my terms is invaluable. I can keep high valued guests returning year after year because they save monies compared the other platforms.

I have been using Houfy for years as both a host and a guest and I would highly recommend this site for your short term rental needs. Direct booking with rental properties without having to pay the extra booking site fees.

Excellent site with regards to functionality, considering it has a free use plan. The only thing i would add is marketing efforts. Houfy must invest in marketing their site, and it will surely take off, as everyone is looking to pay low or no fees. When hosts start getting houfy bookings organically and not through their own marketing efforts, hosts will also start spending on the different houfy paid plans offered.

What a great resource for hosts and guests. Safe, secure, and most importantly trustworthy. Highly recommend to save money and directly interact with hosts, without the middle, corporate entities.

Reply from Houfy
I like that you do not charge host to list on your platform, which would defeat using direct booking for me. I use this as a way for people to direct book with me.

Reply from Houfy
If there is something I don’t understand fully about reservations, I go to the help center and get my answers. Houfy has always been a great platform for my direct bookings and the lowest costs for me.
