Host Tools Erfahrungen

I love Host Tools!

Kommentare: My overall experience has been fantastic and I really appreciate how much time/effort it has saved me!

Vorteile:

I have multiple properties listed with both Airbnb and VRBO, Host Tools makes it very easy to sync calendars and view messages all in one site. The automation of messages was icing on the cake for me. [SENSITIVE CONTENT HIDDEN] is super responsive to any support issues/needs as well. There are always new features coming available and I look forward to taking advantage of things like lock automation.

Nachteile:

Sometimes there is a little bit of a lag between the Host Tools calendar synching with the Airbnb/VRBO feeds.

Great tool for AirBnb Hosts

Kommentare: We think has tools is a wonderful product and are very pleased with its level of functionality in relation to the budget friendly price.

Vorteile:

This product has made our AirBnb hosting so much easier. We create custom messages which send at different intervals, we set up reminders for ourselves to get certain things done (such as set up door codes) based up check -in dates, we have the system send text message reminders to our cleaners on the day of check-out, and the automated reviews are fantastic. Host Tools has reduced the amount of time I spend managing these details by at least 80% and has actually made us far more organized than we would've bern otherwise

Nachteile:

I wish it would remote set our Yale with Nest locks and I wish I could just share my calendars with my cleaners without having to have them texted every time there's a change

An affordable but unreliable software

Kommentare: Very bad experience. The connection to the OTAs can go down at any moment, and it may take the customer support team (just 2 people) days or weeks to fix it. This is good for a hobbyist host, who is hosting 1-2 properties at most. This software is not suitable for a professional host, or a professional business who needs realiability, or who hosts multiple units.

Vorteile:

The price used to be competitive before the 2023 price hike. I also like the website link where your housekeeper can check all the future cleanings in one big list. However, this list doesn't have any optionality to add text or notes onto the reservations.

Nachteile:

The unreliability. The connection can go down at any moment without any prior notice. If the connection doesn't go down fully, there may be other issues with it. Most of the issues are with reservation information from the OTAs not coming through to Host Tools as they should. I also do not like it that Host Tools only supports Airbnb, VRBO and Booking integration (No Google vacation rentals or others).

Excellent functionality; great value!

Vorteile:

After trying several different programs to help automate our small boutique hotel operations, we knew after a short time with Host Tools that this was the program for us. It was clearly created by a fellow property owner and addresses our biggest concerns without unnecessary fluff. The price is fair, and we feel fortunate to have found it.

Nachteile:

The pricing tools are a little intimidating, and there is a bit of a learning curve all around. Not quite as intuitive as one might hope, but once you get started and learn the lingo, it’s pretty user-friendly.

Host Tools ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Kommentare: Host tools makes everything continue to run perfectly, especially when I happen to not be available.
Whenever I have a question it is answered immediately! You can not beat the price point for this product.

Vorteile:

Automated messaging is the feature I can't live without. Works perfectly and makes everything run smooth.

Nachteile:

Not very mobile friendly. I run about 95% off my phone.

Saves us unbelievable amount of time and improves service

Kommentare: Excellent overall experience with this tool. It does what it is supposed to reliably and we can get on with our other Airbnb services :)

Vorteile:

Simple to construct event driven (checking, check out, settled in, inquiry, etc) from templates and edit those messages if necessarybin advance. Messages to coordinate services providers such as self-checkins, cleaners, cleaners etc never get overlooked or contain typing errors. We have two AirBnB's and this communication overhead is very significant.

Nachteile:

We don't use the pricing feature as much yet.

Wish I'd Found It Sooner

Kommentare: I wish I'd found Superhost Tools sooner! This has made the Airbnb experience with our guests so much better! The pre-written templates are a great starting point to making sure your guests have all the information they need for their stay. Our guests have gushed about how great our communication is — and we know we were lacking in that area previously. Since we both own our own business, and Airbnb is something we do on the side, it'd been super helpful for us now that our guests think that we're initiating conversation​ with them to check in on their stay. I wish we'd had it the past two years!

Vorteile:

Superhost Tools is easy to set up and has pre-written templates that you can customize to fit your Airbnb. It's made communication with our guests so much more reliable, and our guests have been gushing with how great of attention we pay to them.

Nachteile:

I had some pricing glitches that caused some issues at first, and customer service didn't write me back after the initial email.

Very useful

Vorteile:

The automated messaging is really helpful. Also I use the automated feedback for my airbnb guests. Really helpful and a time saver.

Nachteile:

I wish it had dynamic listing dates where you could limit the number of or day one day bookings but it opened up week of.

Superhost Tools Is Definitely Worth the Money!

Vorteile:

Supherost Tools is well worth the money in time management alone! It has saved me hundreds of dollars in such a small span of time, by not having to deal with the pain of manually entering EVERYTHING, and being able to automate a good deal of it. I expect my company will save THOUSANDS in the near future while continuing to use this product!

Nachteile:

It took me a little bit to figure out how everything worked, but once I did, it was well worth the wait!

Save time with SuperHost Tools

Kommentare: Save me time and I never miss sending emails with the automation tools.

Vorteile:

Anything that saves me time and helps me keep my 5 star review is worth it! The email responder is what I use most. Also can t beat the price.

Nachteile:

I'm not using the pricing yet since I was with another service, but may try it out.

Great TIme Saving Tool

Kommentare: Overall experience is great. I would highly recommend; the pros far outweigh the cons and this automates messages and saves me so many hours of work each week. I love this tool. I also love that it doesn't try to do too much; it does what it does and it does it well.

Vorteile:

This tool automates so much of my correspondence with AirBnB guests. I was spending too much time re-writing the same message, making sure I didn't miss a deadline, and checking the calendar. As my rentals grew, I knew I need a tool to automate this. I wanted something simple and affordable. I didn't want to pay for a solution that offered more functionality that what I would use. Host Tools fit the bill perfectly.

Nachteile:

There are a few bugs here and there; I had a guest receive 9 'thanks for staying with us' messages once, until I noticed it and disabled the message completely. Sometime those messages will still send twice and I don't know why.

Made hosting easier, mostly.

Kommentare: automating recurring minutia

Vorteile:

The automated messages were very useful and I could resolve 99% of guest inquiries using this feature. The price point was fair for the solution I was using.

Nachteile:

updates to either airbnb or host tools would cause properties to turn off their messaging, without warning, so I would miss guest questions by thinking the auto response was working. the text feature did not ever work for my maids.

This tool will make you a Superhost based on your excellent communication.

Vorteile:

Super easy to use and very customizable. It automates 90% of your communication and makes the guest feel like you have great communication. It also helps you get great reviews. Being a Superhost is easy now! The developer is very responsive to input.

Nachteile:

Nothing - maybe if you have 100+ properties it might seem expensive, but the value would still be there. There might be less value if you only rent 2-3 times a year.

Very good up and always getting better

Kommentare: I love this platform.

Vorteile:

I love that I have instant access to the owner and builder of the platform. Always accepting of new features and supporting of current features. I love the blogs that are written as well as it helps me determine some business methods.

Nachteile:

There are quite a lot of features that could be better and more user friendly.

Airbnb made easy

Kommentare: If you want to save hours each week answering emails from Airbnb, this is the program.

Vorteile:

This tool allowed us to enjoy our lives and get away from the computer keyboard.

Nachteile:

There was a small learning curve we had to learn.

Adjusts Airbnb Smart Pricing

Kommentare: Great tool, I would recommend it to anybody that has not tried an alternative to simply pricing on the Airbnb website.

Vorteile:

Let's face it, Airbnb smart pricing is typically on the low end which is an advantage for Airbnb and the guest but not for the host. This allows you to adjust it by an amount of your choosing.

Nachteile:

I wish it had length of stay adjustments. Other than that it is very capable with lots of options. Syncs well too.

Great product for help with my short term rentals

Kommentare: None yet!

Vorteile:

I am really liking the automated messages. It is saving me time and stress with my rental property. I also like that it can link airbnb and vrbo. That is super helpful for calendaring.

Nachteile:

The interface seems a little simple and plain but I have liked using it so far.

Best tool out there for my business

Kommentare: It has made my life so much easier! My guests rave about my customer service and honestly it’s all this tool doing everything. It has helped me manage three properties very easily

Vorteile:

The automated messages are key to running a successful short term rental business. I get five star reviews on my communication because of this tool. It’s very easy to use and I’ve told all my friends about it

Nachteile:

I wish it integrated with other services like VRBO

Excellent tool

Vorteile:

Created the messages with ease and they automatically send so I don’t have to think about it. Great templates, easy to change when you need.

Nachteile:

Nothing I have seen so far. Has been great for what I needed

Great value and personal customer service

Vorteile:

It works every time, is very customable, and is a great value

Nachteile:

Pricing tool is not as robust with outside data, so you have to make all the decisions on your own

Helps manage multiple listings, great customer service.

Kommentare: I've reached out to customer service a few times and appreciated the prompt and helpful responses.

Vorteile:

Host Tools helped us easily mange multiple listings and automate check in and check out.

Nachteile:

Was a little tricky using multiple accounts and I'm probably a unique case, but I created our listing using an account that is not the primary account but a co-host account, which ended up limited some features. Since we have 5-6 listings, re-doing our set up under the main account became fairly challenging and time intensive.

Saves me time and keeps my business looking professional

Kommentare: Great! Help there when I've needed it, quick responses every time.

Vorteile:

Easy to set up and edit. Can have as many automated messages as you need. Keeps my guests informed. Encourages guests to alert me of any problems.

Nachteile:

Cant think of anything at all! All great from my experience.

Set it and forget it

Vorteile:

This is the only pricing tool I have found for Airbnb that actually gives me full control over my prices. Through pricing tweaks I have discovered that I can substantially increase my profits. Since my rules have been in place (and the developer is super responsive with helping to set them up if you have any questions- which I did!) I've been able to turn my attention elsewhere and have my prices auto update the way I want them to every day.

Nachteile:

I was a little confused with setting up the pricing rules but the developer walked me through it and since they've been in place I don't have to touch them!

So easy

Kommentare: Had to contact support once. It was fantastic. Got assistance and suggestions. When I log in it tells me what messages it’s going to send to guests and give me the ability to see and edit as needed. Hone it in a little further. It makes contact super easy and worriless.

Vorteile:

It’s taken a lot of the work away from me. I can now convey exactly what I need to to my guests in a way that is easy to understand and comprehensive.

Nachteile:

Timed emails can sometimes overlap and cause confusion. Depending on when the guest books. Until I worked out a better set of messages to send, it was very annoying.

Very useful until Airbnb introduced native automatic messaging

Kommentare: I used this software for automatic messaging via Airbnb. Its pricing tools etc. are not on par with other services. Now that Airbnb has introduced its own native automatic messaging feature, I have no use for Host Tools.

Vorteile:

Automatic messaging and guest reviews on Airbnb.

Nachteile:

Not possible to pay only for features used.
