Financial loss due to software
Terrible service ! I lost a valuable booking because the AI automated software responded the unit was unavailable when it was actually available. This caused a huge financial loss for the year since this was a long duration booking during the holidays! Reply:The AI-generated message stated that my unit was unavailable when it was in fact bookable. That message was generated by Hospitable’s system and sent to a live guest. As a result of that incorrect automated output, the guest abandoned the booking, I lost approximately $1,500 in rental income, and VRBO charged me a $482 owner cancellation penalty. Whether the message was suggested by AI or sent by me after being auto-generated is irrelevant — Hospitable produced false availability information that caused financial harm. I have already provided this to support and am awaiting compensation or account credit for the losses caused by this system failure.

Hi Val, we're awaiting a reply on your support ticket to understand how the AI lost you a reservation. From our initial investigation, it appears that you clicked the 'Suggest with AI' button to draft a reply and then manually sent that, as well as follow-up messages, to the guest. The suggestion button aims to gather as much accurate information as possible. However, if you are also manually messaging the guest, we encourage you to carefully review those draft messages and notify us about any inconsistencies that appear so that we can improve the feature.
