Can I review my guests?

On Houfy, you can not directly post a review about the guest, but you can ask them to review your listing and add your reply to their review.

To write your reply to the review:

  • Go to the listing page
  • Select the review you want to reply to
  • Click "Write a reply"
  • Write your reply and post it.

Can I delete a retaliatory Airbnb or Vrbo that I imported over?

We delete on a case by case basis.

I haven't imported my Airbnb and/or Vrbo reviews yet because I have a reliatory review I don't want imported. Am I able to have one removed?

Message us at info@houfy.com to request the review to be removed. We remove on a case by case.

Does Houfy automatically update my Airbnb and Vrbo connected reviews?

No. Hosts should periodically pull in the latest reviews. It only takes a few seconds. Be sure any review replies are finalized before pulling into Houfy. You will not be able to pull in a reply later.

Can I reply to an imported Airbnb or Vrbo review from my Houfy dashboard?

No. You can only reply to Houfy originated reviews. Replies to Airbnb and Vrbo reviews must be done via their respective platforms.

Can I later import an Airbnb guest's reply to an imported Airbnb review?

Not if you already imported the review. Once the review is imported, the reply cannot be imported later. Finalize review replies on other platforms before pulling reviews into Houfy.

Can I later import my reply to an Airbnb or Vrbo review left by my guest?

Not if you already imported the review. Once the review is imported, any replies cannot be imported later.

I can’t pull my reviews from Airbnb to my Houfy listing?

We frequently see the one of the following errors occur:

  1. The listing on Airbnb or VRBO is hidden/inactive
  2. The url points to a calendar ics url.
  3. The url is custom. Houfy needs the actual publically viewable url.
  4. The url goes somewhere into the Airbnb or VRBO dashboard.

Please make sure the url actually shows:

https://www.airbnb.com/rooms/ number and or https://www.vrbo.com/ number

How do I export my reviews on Houfy?

You can import reviews from Airbnb and VRBO/Homeaway into Houfy. These reviews get sorted by date.

To export them click on Export at: Menu > Manage Listings > Edit Listing > Reviews

This will export your reviews to a csv file.

How do I connect my reviews from Airbnb or Vrbo?

  1. If you imported your Airbnb or Vrbo listing, your Airbnb or Vrbo reviews are already connected to Houfy. Just periodically pull in the latest connected reivews.
  2. If you use both Airbnb and Vrbo, you can connect reviews from both sites. For example, if you imported your Airbnb listing, those reviews are already connected. You can connect your Vrbo reviews as well. And vice versa.
  3. If you manually added a property, you can easily connect reviews from Vrbo, Airbnb, or both. It does not matter in which order you do this, as Houfy automatically sorts all reviews by date. 

Log in > Menu > Manage Listings > Edit > Reviews > Click on the Import Reviews link

How do I connect my reviews from Airbnb or Vrbo?
  1. Select listing site from drop down menu.
  2. Copy/paste your listing URL.
  3. Wait for the Fetching Preview message to disappear.
  4. Check box to agree.
  5. Click Import.

TIPS

1) If you are listed on both Airbnb and Vrbo, and only imported reviews from one site, you can import reviews from the other platform.

2) Finalize any review replies on other platforms before pulling reviews into Houfy. Replies cannot be pulled in later.
