Pros & Cons from Real Users

Pros

  • - Incredibly responsive & knowledgeable support staff available via ticket or live chat - Unrivalled account management with a very strong focus on providing a good experience for the user - Guesty's product team are constantly responding to user feedback, improving and evolving features available based on our experience & needs - Quarterly Roadmaps are provided detailing a whole host of new features allowing us to plan for change - Managing guest correspondence across multiple channels is easy with Guesty's integrated inbox. Their strong relationship with top OTA's means we get the best integrated features, resulting in less work for our guest-facing team - Guesty has a whole host of automation designed to take the manual work out of arduous tasks such as auto-reviews, auto payments, and guest messages which gives us time to focus on the important stuff - Guesty has a library of 'Marketplace' partners, who are set up to integrate with Guesty. Every marketplace partner we have used has become invaluable to our operations, plus we get the perks of a Guesty user discount in some cases
  • Channel manager great calendar. The synchronized channels was good. Messaging good messaging tool. Integrations.
  • Superb company since day 1. They made the onboarding process super easy and straightforward and have offered excellent customer service since then. Guesty has enabled me to scale my business and has freed up time to allow me to think more strategically and provide a better experience for our customers.
  • On paper its good. Their sales people are amazing. But the product is buggy, and the lack of support makes it terrible. My management team hates Guesty.
  • I love how user friendly the software is mostly, a few others in my past are very difficult and long process of set up. I love the support I receive from my CSM! I do feel like it has helped my business grow and streamline.

Cons

  • - Guesty is expensive but you get what you pay for - Some advanced features are pay-walled, so if you want the works, costs can quickly add up
  • Accounting could be better for how much I spend. Damage protection too expensive. Support is mediocre. Guesty messaging team is not worth it. Guesty pay support is horrendous.
  • Genuinely hard to think of any cons. I suppose sometimes the communication from Guesty could be better when introducing new initiatives and software.
  • Hidden fees, they will bill you one penny then bill you a fee for not hitting their minimum. Then you will contact support who will ignore you. They robbed me with crazy setup fees and all sorts of weird fees they just charge without authorization. The accounting part of the software is a joke.
  • The training on accounting needs to be more in depth and longer than it was.

Pros & Cons from Real Users

Pros

  • Migrated to HotelFriend eight months ago to manage 45 field technicians across three Bundesländer. The Berlin-based support team understood our ISP-specific needs immediately. The dispatch interface gets new coordinators productive within days, not weeks. The workforce management module eliminated scheduling conflicts entirely. Service completion rates rose 12% in Q1 through intelligent routing and customer portal upsells. Real-time technician status updates via mobile app replaced our chaotic WhatsApp groups. DATEV-export simplifies our quarterly financial audits.
  • HotelFriend offers a centralized platform that combines reservations, front desk management, housekeeping, billing, and reporting into one streamlined system. Its intuitive interface makes onboarding easy, and automation features reduce manual workload and operational errors. The cloud-based access also improves coordination and allows real-time operational visibility.
  • The platform provides a well-integrated ecosystem that combines property management, booking tools, guest communication, and payment processing within a single interface. This reduces reliance on multiple systems and helps streamline day-to-day operations. The user interface is modern and generally intuitive, making onboarding easier for front-desk and administrative staff. Automation features support routine processes such as reservations, confirmations, and reporting, which can improve productivity and reduce manual errors. Additionally, the reporting and analytics tools offer valuable operational insights that assist with monitoring performance and planning revenue strategies.
  • What I like best about HotelFriend is how everything is connected in one system. We manage reservations, guest communication, invoicing, and housekeeping from a single dashboard. The interface is intuitive, and our front desk team in Germany adapted to it quickly. The automation features have reduced manual errors and saved us time daily.
  • What impresses us most about HotelFriend is the clear overview of all daily operations. At the Hamburg Public Library, we use the platform to organize room reservations, coordinate cleaning and maintenance tasks, and support internal communication among staff. Since all information is centralized in one place, tasks can be coordinated more quickly and decisions can be made more efficiently. These optimized processes played a key role in achieving a 45% increase in bookings within six months for our study and event spaces.

Cons

  • Customer portal branding options are limited wanted deeper corporate identity integration. Integration with our network monitoring systems required three days of manual configuration. Analytics dashboard slows during 8 AM peak check-in periods. Needs more native integrations with German telecommunications equipment suppliers.
  • Some advanced reporting and customization options could be more flexible. Certain integrations may require additional setup, and there can occasionally be minor performance delays during peak usage. Expanding mobile functionality would also improve convenience for on-the-go management.
  • The initial implementation phase may require a considerable time investment, particularly for properties migrating legacy data or connecting existing third-party tools. While the system covers most operational needs, customization options can feel somewhat limited compared to more established enterprise-level PMS platforms. Some integrations may require additional configuration, and there can occasionally be delays in support response times during busy operational periods, which may affect time-sensitive troubleshooting.
  • The initial setup required some time to configure according to our workflow, and a few advanced features took training to fully understand. However, the support team was responsive whenever we needed clarification.
  • Some features are strongly geared toward traditional hotel workflows and are therefore only partially applicable to daily library operations. In addition, the reporting and analytics features could be more flexible to better meet library-specific requirements.
