Comprehensive solution that just works!
Everything 'just works' and it's an affordable solution that allows me to automagically notify our cleaning team, automate messages, customise for different platforms, create my own direct booking site, automagically set the door code and the welcome message on the TV and it's all good to go when I eventually launch on the other major boking sites too.

Intuitive interface, fast, good support
I tested a bunch of PMS for my Airbnb/VRBO rental. Hostex was easy to use, intuitive in most cases, and offers most if not all the features I want, for an unbeatable price. The few times I needed help, support was prompt and knowledgeable.

Five stars all the way
Five stars all the way! Hostex is super easy to use, which saved us so much time setting up my listings. The support group is absolutely amazing—they are quick, "give-it-their-all," and always solve my problems on the spot. I also love the convenience of the AI translation. If the accuracy gets a little boost in the next version, it will be unbeatable. Highly recommend Hostex to anyone in the short-term rental business!

We have been working with Hostex as our channel manager for over two months now
We have been working with Hostex as our channel manager for over two months now, and our experience has been very positive. One of the key advantages for us was the ability to easily create a website through the platform. The process was incredibly simple and fast, which made it very convenient to get started. While there is definitely room for further customization and improvements, the simplicity and speed of building the website are truly impressive. We are also very happy with the support team. They respond quickly, are always to the point, and genuinely helpful. Every question or issue we've had has been addressed efficiently, with clear explanations and practical solutions. At the moment, we are managing three accommodations through Hostex and are continuing to grow. Overall, we are very satisfied with the platform and happy to keep working with it.

The Best PMS software with excellent Customer Care support
Hostex has been an excellent platform to work with, especially when it comes to customer support and overall ease of use. Their support team is consistently quick, helpful, and highly knowledgeable. What really stands out is their responsiveness—whether through chat or other channels, assistance is prompt and reliable, even during late hours. This level of service is a major differentiator and adds a lot of confidence when managing operations. The user experience is another strong point. The platform is intuitive, well-designed, and easy to navigate. Tasks like managing finances, adjusting pricing, and scheduling cleanings are straightforward and efficient, saving valuable time for hosts and property managers. Pricing is also a big win for Hostex. It's highly competitive—often just a fraction of the cost of other platforms—while still offering equal or greater functionality. The transparent pricing model, with no hidden fees, makes it especially appealing for smaller businesses looking for great value without compromising on features. Overall, Hostex delivers an outstanding balance of affordability, usability, and top-tier customer support.
