How to send a quote or change the rates on a quote

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:

1. Log in to your Houfy account.
2. Click your profile photo (top-right).
3. Select Reservations → Quotes.
4. Find the quote you want to modify.
5. Click View Quote.
6. Scroll to Reservation Details.
7. Click Change Reservation.
8. Update pricing, dates, discounts, or fees.
9. Click Send Request.
10. Re-send the quote to your guest if needed.

To Send a New Qoute:

1. Go to the Plus (+) menu at the top of your Houfy page.
2. Click Quote to create a new quote.
3. Select the property and the dates you want to include in the quote.
4. 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.

FAQs

Can I resend a quote?
Yes. Open the quote and click Resend to email it again.

Do quotes expire?
No. However, you can delete a quote at any time if it’s no longer valid.

Will my dates be blocked automatically?
Only if you choose Confirmed Booking. Tentative quotes do not block external calendars.
