"Avantio was hard to navigate, could be more user friendly graphically, and functions were hard to find."

growth in revenue

Hostaway differentiates itself through its simple UI and continuous improvements to its software, with 15+ releases, bug fixes, and updates made each month. We also have more key features like:

  • Customized financial reporting for property managers and owners

  • Upselling feature to boost your revenue

  • Easy-to-use mobile app for on-the-go management

  • ChatGPT-powered guest messaging and listing descriptions

A number of Avantio users expressed dissatisfaction with the outdated platform, particularly highlighting poorly developed basic tools like owner statements, invoicing, and the analytics dashboard. Overall, there's limited flexibility in creating any customized reports and the templates provided are difficult to adapt.  

Stability & Professionalism

Hostaway simply works. Whether it's your automations, integrations, or simply performance, you can depend on Hostaway to work exactly as you need it to, so you can focus on what matters most.

Avantio users frequently report regular glitches in their software including poor API connections and sync failures. The system often lags especially during change requests and their system upgrades/ maintenance are known to perform on Mondays, limiting the usage for many users after the weekend. Why would you want a PMS that potentially decreases your amount of bookings?
