Pros & Cons from Real Users

Pros

  • Easy to install. There isn't a lot i can say that is positive - sadly as I wasted a few months using Host Tools - tearing my hair out every other day.
  • This app has tools that facilitate easy communication and i love it. The developer did a very good job.
  • I like that it has everything in one place and its pretty reasonable priced.
  • Help with bookings of our vacation rentals. Making correspondence with guests easier and more efficient, when it works...

Cons

  • Worst system I have come across resulting in double bookings across platforms. The customer service was awful with no-one wanting to take responsibility for the issues with their software and treating me with disrespect. I moved to Smoobu as a channel manager and could not be happier.
  • So far after my observation, I haven't had any problems with this app yet that needs to be discussed, thank you.
  • The Hosttools App is supposed to make the flow of communication with guests easier and help manage the booking calendar. It does not quite do that. The software / app has lots of bugs. This app needs work, has lots of issues and is too expensive for what it does. It charges $5 per property / per connected account.
