Guesty
Property-management software for short-term rentals and channel management
The verdict
Guesty is a property-management platform for short-term rentals, combining channel management across Airbnb, Vrbo and Booking.com with a unified inbox, automation, payments and analytics. Hosts and managers use it to run many listings.
What it is
Guesty centralizes the work of managing short-term rentals: it syncs listings and calendars across booking channels, unifies guest messages in one inbox, automates routine tasks, handles payments and reports on performance. It scales to larger portfolios with team tools. The cost of that breadth is that it is heavier and pricier than tools aimed at a handful of properties, setup takes time, and smaller hosts may pay for capacity they do not need.
