Who this is for
Hosts who want to send a personalized offer or adjust pricing for a guest on Houfy.
Before you start
Make sure your listing is active on Houfy.
You’ll need your guest’s name and email address to send the quote.
Steps
Edit Rates or Update an Existing Quote
If you’ve already created a quote and need to change pricing or details:
Log in to your Houfy account.
Click your profile photo (top-right).
Select Reservations → Quotes.
Find the quote you want to modify.
Click View Quote.
Scroll to the RESERVATION ACTIONS panel.
Click Change Reservation.
Update pricing, dates, discounts, or fees.
Click Save Changes to apply the new figures straight away. If the total goes up and the guest has a Houfy account, the button reads Send Request instead - the change only takes effect once the guest accepts it.
Re-send the quote to your guest if needed.
To Send a New Quote:
Go to the Plus (+) menu at the top of your Houfy page.
Click Quote to create a new quote.
Select the property and the dates you want to include in the quote.
Click Edit to make changes.
You can update prices, discounts, fees, taxes, or the security deposit.
Example: add a 25% discount or special offer, or include a cleaning fee.
5. Choose whether to block the dates:
Tentative Booking — temporarily holds the dates (only on Houfy’s calendar).
Confirmed Booking — blocks the dates everywhere (including connected calendars).
6. Review your total amount to make sure it’s correct.
7. Scroll down to Guest Details and enter:
First name
Last name
Email address
A message to the guest booking (for example: “Here’s your quote for the week of November 1.”)
8. Under Quote Validity, choose how long the quote should stay active (e.g., 1 day, 1 week, or always valid).
9. Click Create a quote to send it to your guest.
Your guest will receive an email with the full quote and booking details.
Troubleshooting
Can’t find the quote? Go to Menu → Reservations → Quotes to see all quotes you’ve created.
Need to change the quote after sending it? Open the quote, click Edit, adjust the details, and send again.
Guest didn’t receive the quote? Ask them to check their spam or junk folder.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I resend a quote? Yes. Open the quote and click Resend to email it again.
Do quotes expire? Yes, if you set a Quote Validity period. However, you can delete a quote at any time if it’s no longer valid.
Will my dates be blocked automatically? On Houfy, always. Dates are blocked everywhere only if you choose Confirmed Booking. Tentative quotes do not block external calendars.
