Imagine if you had a front row seat to Airbnb and Vrbo's tech support/customer service depts. You'd probably run away!
Say Yes to Houfy Facebook Group
We also LOVE to discuss ways to educate travelers about the benefits of book direct. And of course Houfy!
Let travelers know their credit card already has many consumer protections, and don't let them waste hundreds on some bogus guarantee.
The majority of hosts who get bookings on Houfy have their system on auto pilot. All they do is update their social media/website and replace Airbnb links with their Houfy links. Then they announce to their followers they no longer need to pay hundreds to those sites and can just book and save hundreds on Houfy.
Frequently asked questions:
Why should I use Houfy? In a word, cost. Houfy allows you to accept reservations at a much lower cost than the likes of AirBnB, VRBO and Booking .com
Do I need a website ? That’s certainly an option. You could add our widgets to it to manage the reservation and calendar elements.
However you have additional costs to consider, site build and management, hosting fees etc. And if you want it to rank (get found in Google searches) you will have to pay for that.
The beauty of Houfy is that it allows you to have a many of the elements of a website without the additional cost.
Do I just need Houfy? Probably not. The main platforms are well known and people go to them first. But they are expensive to use by comparison. Direct bookings will earn you more money. Houfy doesn’t take commission so if your guests book through Houfy you get more of the money.
How will people find Houfy? By you promoting it. If you market yourself on social media or local advertising. Send them to your Houfy listing to make a reservation.
As more hosts do this Houfy will become more well known.
Houfy does not replace the need for you to promote and market your business.
It's really that simple.
Thanks Thijs & Swapnil
