The app was clunky.
Does not automatically sign in and difficult to use when on it

Thanks for flagging this. "Clunky" and "won't stay signed in" aren't the experience we want, and specific notes like yours are how we find the rough edges worth fixing.
So easy to get house listed! Customers found chat feature and booking easy! Once I figured out calendar it was much easier to get bookings

Love hearing this. Easy listing setup, easy chat, easy booking on the guest side — that's the goal on all three. Thanks for taking the time to share it.
I am very new to short-term rentals and I appreciate the contract and insurance that were offered. There was also a warning about a last minute reservation that I should have heeded. My Ring doorbell helped me stop a party before any damage was done.

Thank you — and welcome to the world of short-term rentals. Glad the contract and HoufyProtect gave you some peace of mind starting out, and even more glad you caught that party before it became a problem. Trusting that last-minute warning (and your Ring) is exactly the instinct that protects hosts. Wishing you a great start to hosting.
Booking a stay was easy! Messaging host was simple. One thing is the final booking info with details was clunky. But overall good experience and highly recommend!

Thank you — glad the booking and messaging were easy, and fair point on the final booking details feeling clunky. That's exactly the kind of note that helps us tighten things up. Appreciate the recommendation.
The property was absolutely perfect! Jeannette made everything so easy booking for our stay. She is always available and so friendly. This was our 2nd time staying at this property and we loved it.

Happy with Houfy
This was my first time using Houfy. The platform was easy to navigate. I sent and received messages with ease.

Love hearing this. Easy to navigate, easy to message — that's the bar. Thanks for taking the time to share it.
Houfy offers an amazing tool for direct booking. It's low cost or free depending on what you need to manage your reservations. I would highly recommended it's functionality and ease of use.

Love hearing this. Functional, easy to use, and not bleeding everyone dry on fees — that's the goal. Thanks for the recommendation.
The booking process was simple and when I thought I had to cancel their response was quick and when I didn’t have to cancel they put us right back in. Houfy.com is better than their competitors.

Thank you — a lot of credit there goes to your host, who handled the back-and-forth with a lot of grace. Glad it all came together in the end, and the comparison to the bigger platforms means a lot.
Prompt, thorough and real! Great support! As a host booking her first guest and using Stripe for the first time I was very pleased to have my questions answered and my concerns addressed.
Reply from Houfy2026-06-23
Thank you — first booking on a new platform with a new payment processor is a lot to take on, and being there for that exact moment is something we care about getting right. Glad we did.
I felt so comfortable and safe. In traveling alone, this is my greatest concern.
Reply from Houfy2026-06-15
Thank you for sharing this. Feeling safe and comfortable as a solo traveler is the bar that matters most — a lot of credit there goes to your host. Glad Houfy helped connect you with them.

Great booking experience
The booking process and check in was smooth! Jonny answered all of our questions prior to booking very promptly. He was very helpful! I would definitely use Houfy again and recommend to others!

Love hearing this. A smooth booking, a responsive host, and a recommendation — the trifecta. Thanks for sharing it.
So far so good. Easy to set up still getting to know the system, but I do believe it will fit my needs nicely mostly just for return guests.
Reply from Houfy2026-06-11
Appreciate this. Return guests is the perfect use case for Houfy — commission-free bookings from people who already know and trust you. Glad you're settling in.
Appreciate it — thanks for taking a second to share it.

Honest, Easy Renting
The process has been smooth and straightforward and the savings on “administrative fees” has been wonderful compared to the other major rental companies.
Reply from Houfy2026-06-03
Love hearing this. Keeping the process simple and skipping the hidden fees is the point — thanks for taking the time to share it.
