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

Sorry to hear this was your experience. We always aim to respond within 24 hours, and a few days is not the standard we set for ourselves. We’re a lean team, but that doesn’t change our commitment to timely support. We appreciate the feedback and are continuously working to improve.

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.

Thank you for the honest review — and you've nailed it. Houfy does exactly what it says: gives hosts a way to take direct bookings with no service fees, no middleman, no commission. You're also right that we haven't focused on much centralised paid marketing, and there's a reason for that. Up until now, our priority has been building the best possible product: a well-rounded, flexible, and free platform for hosts. It's tough to market a platform that doesn't take a cut of your bookings — we're essentially promoting your business, not ours. But that's the big question we're tackling this year. Our goal is to make Houfy something hosts actively use as a tool to drive and supercharge their book-direct business — not just a listing site, but a real part of your strategy for building guest relationships and repeat bookings. We're glad you're here, and we appreciate the feedback. It keeps us focused and motivated.

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.
