I really appreciated Houfy when I had a short-term rental. It allowed me to not keep all my eggs in one basket (e.g., OTAs). Set up and management is easy.

Houfy website works better than well known sites
Houfy website works better and is easier to use than Airbnb and VRBO. It also works with no issues unlike the other well known sites. The fact that there are no fees with Houfy that have become more and more expensive and make a vacation unaffordable makes Houfy the all around winner!

Build.you own website!
Houfy has multiple tools for us to use to enter our rental information and to embed code into our website. Their tools and booking system makes it very easy (and coat effective) for us to run our own site. We have been using Houfy for several years. Thank you!

Houfy makes hosting easy for owners that book directly and a great option for booking return guests. The book direct site also saves money for both parties.

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

Myrtle Beach Property Owner
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
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.

I’ve been with Houfy since 2021
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.
