Really easy and clear set up

Really easy and clear set up. Perfect for my goals, to provide a platform for my guests where they can book and pay online. Great solution.

Thanks so much, Janneke! We’re glad the setup was clear and that Houfy fits your goal of offering guests a simple way to book and pay directly.

At the moment, hosts take the lead on marketing, and behind the scenes we’re building tools to help expand reach and make promotion easier moving forward. Looking forward to continuing to improve and hopefully earning that 5th star as we grow.

It was very easy to add our villa 5 yrs…

It was very easy to add our villa 5 yrs ago. This week is turns out it’s worth being patient with our first booking!

I admit some of the behind the scenes tasks aren’t as straightforward, but we’ll persevere!!

Thanks so much, Jan! Great to hear your first booking came through — sometimes patience really does pay off.

We know some of the behind-the-scenes tasks can feel a bit unintuitive, and we’re actively working on making the setup and management flow smoother.

Appreciate you sticking with us and being part of the Houfy community!
