Complete your reservation

Houfy is a great option if you’re looking to save a bit when booking vacation rentals. It’s cheaper than other platforms since there are no extra service fees, which makes a big difference. I also like that you can connect directly with hosts; it feels more personal and straightforward. Overall, simple to use and definitely worth checking out if you want a more budget-friendly booking experience.

Budget-friendly booking experience.

Being able to work directly with a Host feels reassuring and saves me a hefty fee for my yearly 3-month Snowbird rental. The whole process is easy with Houfy.

Snowbird Savings

After being told by the owner that there was an option to rent through Houfy the rental saved both time and money. And was simple to use putting me in direct contact with the owner of the property. All payments were made easily and quickly. I will use Houfy for all my next rentals.

Houfy is the best way to rentals!

It was a very smooth experience with making reservations with this platform. They do not overcharge you with excessive extra fees like other platforms.

Great and efficient platform

Straightforward, easy, very transparent. Didn't feel like we were being cheated/nickel and dimed--great experience.

Straightforward

The Houfy site was easy to use with excellent pictures of the properties under consideration. The lodging description was accurate, matching the pictures supplied and helped so much as I was comparing different properties sleeping arrangements to my group's needs. The host answered my clarifying questions and booking was simple with an immediate confirmation.

lots of pictures and excellent description

I wish more people knew about Houfy — they have an incredible platform with all the same features (and more) that Airbnb and Vrbo offer. You can even integrate your reviews from other sites directly onto your Houfy profile. The system gives hosts far more flexibility: multiple guest payment options, funds received in advance, and easy tools to add municipal taxes. Best of all, there are little to no additional fees for either guests or hosts. It’s a total win-win for everyone involved.

I wish more people knew about Houfy

I recently added my vacation rental to Houfy and the experience has been very positive. The setup and integration were straightforward, and I received my first substantial direct booking almost immediately after going live. I like having another booking channel that gives hosts more control while offering guests a professional and trustworthy way to reserve. So far, Houfy has been a worthwhile addition to my short-term rental business, and I’m looking forward to seeing it grow.

Easy setup and a great additional booking channel

As a short term rental owner, I am always seeking ways to reduce the administrative costs for my guests and Houfy allows me to do just that. It’s an easy to use platform and I’m happy to get started hosting my guests without the unnecessary fees!

Cut the fees

Our listing was easy to create and payment simple to set up. We appreciate you offering this option as the other companies are just becoming so unreasonable for our guests to pay all of the fees. Thank you!

Easy and Fair

An amazing platform for renting out your property. It allows direct contact with guests and charges no commission. The subscription is very affordable compared to similar platforms. Houfy also offers handy and useful widgets for your website. Houfy is the perfect choice for both guests and rental home owners.

Just brilliant!!

Prompt, thorough and real! Great support! As a host booking her first guest and using Stripe for the first time I was very pleased to have my questions answered and my concerns addressed.
