Hostaway vs.
Guesty
Hostaway and Guesty both offer a comparable range of features. But, Hostaway stands apart with scalable and reliable software, superior 24/7 support, affordable and straight-forward pricing... and we have the reviews prove it.
Unlike Guesty, Hostaway goes even further by offering free direct booking sites, analytics, Google & Marriott integrations and more with no additional monthly charges.

Hostaway's award-winning support has a 97% customer satisfaction rating. Our team is distributed across 8+ countries and timezones so that we're able to help you no matter the time of day.
Some users say Guesty's support is notoriously slow to respond, and often unhelpful. Plus, with their team primarily located in Israel, anyone outside that timezone will experience delays. When urgent issues aren't dealt with quickly, you risk losing out on reservations, cutting into your bottom line.
Straight-forward pricing
Hostaway offers month-to-month contracts - we work hard every month to earn your business. We have a more affordable flat-fee per listing where all core PMS features are included - no hidden fees.
Guesty locks you into an annual contract with a complex fixed/% hybrid pricing model (with some features costing extra, including Google Vacation Rental & Marriott integrations), and then continue to charge additional "hidden" fees on top, like a cancellation fee. They also have a history of rounding up to the nearest dollar, and increasing their commission percentage to as much as 5%.

Hostaway's features adapt to the growth needs of your business. We grow with you, without the need to migrate and relearn another software.
Guesty acquired YourPorter in 2021. Despite rebranding to Guesty for Hosts (for 1-3 listings), the platform remains completely independent from Guesty for Pros (for 4+ listings). This means you would need to migrate between the two softwares if you plan to grow. Guesty's time is also divided between these two products, making support, bug fixes and development slower overall.
Hostaway makes continuous improvements to our software, with 15+ released, bug fixes, and updates made each month. We're also the first to market in releasing new, unmatched features, like:
ChatGPT powered guest messaging and listing descriptions
Vrbo direct messaging
Guesty seems to be focused on acquiring new software in order to grow their user base and feature set, slowing down their ability to release new features, bug fixes, and other improvements. Lately there's been several complaints on connection issues and double bookings for several Guesty users.
We're integrated with the biggest and boldest tools in the Vacation Rental industry. With Zapier, you have access to 3,000+ additional connections. Our industry-leading open API allows you to build your own connection.

Guesty Review
© 2024
In 2021, Guesty acquired YourPorter in to target hosts with 1-3 units. Despite rebranding to Guesty for Hosts, the platform remains completely independent from Guesty for Pros (for 4+ listings). In 2024 they launched Guesty Lite - yet another platform for hosts with 1-3 units. Managing 3 separate platforms has had negative downstream effects for their users, like: worse support, slower bug fix and improvement times, and frustration when attempting to scale.
