Hostfully review
A broad vacation-rental PMS with mobile apps, channel tools, and direct booking.
Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Oct 2026
Hostfully is a cloud-based property management platform for vacation-rental, short-term rental, and corporate housing managers. Its feature set covers channel distribution, reservations, calendars, direct booking websites, guest messaging, payment processing, task coordination, reporting, owner management, and mobile access. That makes it a fit for operators managing individual listings through larger multi-property portfolios, especially those who want booking operations and guest workflows in one system.
Pricing is organized around portfolio size and included commercial terms. Growth costs $15 per property per month for 1–50 listings and includes a full-scale property management solution, 24/7 customer support, a mobile app, a 1% payment gateway fee, and a 0.85% direct booking fee. Pro costs $25 per property per month for 1–199 listings and removes those two listed fees, while adding a Dedicated Customer Success Manager, additional onboarding support, and an annual business review. Enterprise is for 200+ listings and offers volume pricing, tailored onboarding, priority customer support, and additional one-to-one Customer Success meetings.
The platform’s ecosystem fit is a major strength. A channel manager connects Airbnb, Vrbo, Booking.com, direct booking sites, and other channels, while integrations include PayPal, Stripe, and Vacation Rent Payment. An open API and third-party integrations extend that reach. Operators also get a central calendar, booking pipeline, unified inbox with AI-assisted messaging, automated guest payment collection, cleaning and maintenance task management, owner financial reports, analytics, automated exports, and iOS and Android apps. Choose Hostfully when guest and booking operations are the priority; conventional residential portfolios centered on leases, tenant portals, or rent collection should choose a different category fit.
