Paying for a reservation

 We're excited to introduce Houfy Connect, a new feature that brings even more properties to our platform through seamless integration with professional property management systems.

Houfy Connect expands our property listings by including accommodations managed by our trusted software partners, such as Property Management Systems (PMS) and Channel Managers. This means:

More Options: Access a wider selection of properties to find the perfect place for your next trip.

Up-to-Date Information: Enjoy accurate availability and pricing thanks to real-time updates from professional management systems.

Quality Assurance: Benefit from properties that are professionally managed, ensuring a high standard of service.

When booking a property with Houfy Connect, you might notice an additional charge labeled API Usage Charge in your total booking cost. Here's why:

Essential Integration Costs: To offer these professionally managed properties, Houfy is contractually obligated to provide our software partners with an agreed percentage of the booking value. This charge covers that requirement and other costs associated with our API connections.

Not a Service Fee: Unlike other platforms, Houfy does not impose platform service charges or commissions. The Houfy Connect charge is solely associated with properties connected through our software partners.

Why Houfy Still Offers One of the Best Deals

No Platform Service Charges: Houfy remains committed to a commission-free model. We don't add hidden fees that increase your booking cost.

Transparent Pricing: The API Usage Charge is clearly displayed during the booking process. You know exactly what you're paying for—no surprises.

Competitive Rates: Even with the API Usage Charge, our properties often come at a significantly lower total cost compared to other platforms that add hefty service fees.

Enhanced Selection: More properties mean more choices to suit your preferences and budget.

Professional Management: Enjoy peace of mind knowing your booking is handled by experienced professionals.

Great Value: Get the best of both worlds—professionally managed properties without the extra platform fees.

We understand that fees can be a concern when booking accommodations. That's why we're transparent about the Houfy API Usage Charge and assure you it's a necessary cost to bring these additional properties to our platform. Our mission is to keep Houfy free from unnecessary fees while offering you more choices and value.
