Pros & Cons from Real Users

Pros

  • Good onboarding experience.
  • They paid on time… that’s about the only good thing. Really, nothing other good to say about them... stay away.

Cons

  • Working with AvantStay caused me large ongoing financial losses. I signed on with them to manage two of my properties in vacation markets. They claim that they have really high occupancy rates but they do that by offering up properties for really low rates and undercutting the neighborhood. There were nights that my 3 bedroom mountain cabin was netting me $85 per night. My neighbor who has an identical home built by the same builder was commonly getting 2 - 2.5X the rental rates that I was. AvantStay always had an excuse of why that was. My 5 bedroom property that was one block off the beach in florida had literally zero bookings in the month of December 2024. People I know that owned similar sized houses around me were regularly getting 1.75-2.25X what my house was renting for. Using AvantStay for a rental management company caused me to LOSE an average of $6711 per month as they were not able to provide enough rental income to pay the mortgages or operating expenses on the two vacation market houses. Thankfully I was able to sell both houses and stop the bleeding. During the sale process I found out than one of my houses had a baseball sized whole in the roof and the other had two AC units that were not functioning along with mold that had to be remediated. Their property managers did not catch these issues. For my mountain cabin, it earned me about 43% of what they told me they could get me. My Florida house also earned 43% of what they had told me. If I had known the numbers they quoted me were total garbage, I could have sold my houses much earlier and saved about $80K in losses. Even after the huge financial losses that I took while under their care, when I sold my houses to stop the bleeding, they then told me they were charging me an early termination fee. It was part of the contract so they had every right to do that. They were sure to cover their bases by showing me snippets of the contract because for AvantStay, it seems like their contracts are more important than decency. One thing NOT in their contracts is their performance numbers. Even when they miss their targets by 57%, you as an owner have zero recourse. Getting charged a termination fee after that was like kicked in the side after already having a gaping wound. They told me that they would be waive the termination fee if the new buyer signed with them and continued the contract. Then, get this...they SEND the buyer, all my personal financial data by giving them login access to my records. The new buyer had access to all my reservations, all my statements, etc. from since I had started with AvantStay. The new owner called me and told me that after looking through the financial data, there was no way he would sign with them due to their TERRIBLE performance. I just can't believe that this company would provide all of my personal financial info to a 3rd party without consent. Is that even legal? Well I called to complain and their response was that this is their standard operating procedure and they would not have shared my private financial information if I had instructed them otherwise. WOW...just...WOW!!
  • AvantStay takes terrible care of your property - do NOT rent to them. I just got my property back after leasing to AvantStay for 4 years…the damage is WAY beyond 4 years “wear & tear”. Find some one else!

Pros & Cons from Real Users

Pros

  • Learned about different features of Avantio the trainer was friendly and helpful made us understand all the topics.
  • Smooth and efficient organization Clear presentations Supportive team Focus on innovation and new features Engaging and informative discussions
  • I have been using Avantio as my channel manager for several months now, and I couldn't be happier with the results. The platform is incredibly user-friendly, making it easy to manage my properties across multiple booking channels seamlessly. Avantio’s intuitive dashboard allows me to see real-time availability and pricing, which has significantly improved my revenue management strategies. The automated features, such as syncing bookings and updates, save me a tremendous amount of time and minimize the risk of double bookings. What truly sets Avantio apart is their exceptional customer support. The team is always available to assist with any questions or issues, providing prompt and helpful responses. Their commitment to customer satisfaction is evident, and I feel supported every step of the way. Overall, Avantio has streamlined my property management process and enhanced my overall business efficiency. I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a reliable and effective channel manager!
  • I just wanted to express my heartfelt gratitude for the incredible support we received from Ilay, Anna, Jonathan, and Marija during our onboarding. Their dedication and availability made the entire process smooth and efficient. From the very start, they were there to guide us, ensuring everything was set up quickly and perfectly. Their consistent support throughout has been truly impressive, and I couldn’t have asked for a better team to work with. Thanks again for your outstanding service. I’m excited to continue this partnership for many years ahead!
  • - Very wel adapted to the catalan holiday rental market - Great website with very good multi language support - Great connections with lots of channels Booking, Airbnb etc) - Amazing customer service - Very good in keeping track of expenses per accomodacion - Very easy to create settlements for owners - Lots of customisation options - Lots of reports (financials etc)

Cons

  • Nothing much to mention.
  • The event duration felt a bit short; more time would have allowed for deeper discussions.
  • While Avantio offers robust features, it can be complex for new users, requiring a learning curve. Some users have reported occasional syncing issues with third-party channels. Additionally, pricing may be on the higher side for smaller property managers, which could be a concern for budget-conscious businesses.
  • I had a wonderful experience overall, but I do think having a direct phone line or WhatsApp option for immediate communication would enhance the service. That said, the team was always incredibly responsive whenever we submitted a ticket. Their dedication to addressing our needs made a significant difference, and I truly appreciated their support throughout the process.
  • - Can be a bit overwelming due to the many options to configure - It is sometimes hard to understand what happens / what the logic behind automations is - The back-end is not designed for use on mobile phones and no app available - The operations part (cleaning, reception, task management) is not good enough for what we need - The iCal export is limited making it impossible to load booking data into other software tools
