Lodgify review
Bottom line
Lodgify is vacation rental software that keeps calendars in sync across Airbnb, Vrbo and Booking.com while adding a direct booking website, guest messaging and payments. Its clearest strength is the single live calendar that prevents double bookings across channels. The main cost to watch is that Dynamic Pricing is free only for three months on Basic and Starter, and owner statements and check-in automation require the Ultimate plan. Hosts who list on several booking sites and want to run them from one account should choose it.
What is Lodgify?
Lodgify is vacation rental software for independent hosts and property managers. It connects a rental's booking sites, direct booking website, calendars, guest messages and payments in one account. The problem it targets is fragmentation: a host who lists on Airbnb, Vrbo and Booking.com otherwise has to match calendars and rates by hand across three platforms, each with its own inbox. Lodgify sends availability and rate changes from one calendar to every connected channel, so a booking made on one site closes those dates everywhere else. The company was founded in 2012 in Barcelona, Spain.
Day to day, the calendar is the center of the product. Changes made in Lodgify sync to connected channels, and the unified inbox shows guest messages from Airbnb, Vrbo, Booking.com and the direct booking site in one place. Automated messages send booking confirmations, check-in instructions and review requests. Hosts can build a no-code website with a booking engine, collect payments through Lodgify Payments or through Stripe and PayPal, and assign cleaning tasks when a guest checks out. A mobile app lets hosts manage bookings from a phone, and guests get an app with check-in details.
Lodgify is built for hosts managing one property and for property managers running larger portfolios. Pricing has four tiers. Basic starts at $14 per month and covers one property, Starter costs $26 and covers up to two properties, Professional is $47, and Ultimate is $68. A 7-day free trial requires no credit card, and Dynamic Pricing is free for three months on Basic and Starter.
What sets Lodgify apart is how many parts of the workflow it covers in one subscription. It maintains direct API connections with Airbnb, Vrbo, Booking.com and Google Vacation Rentals, and it lists more than 100 integrations, including PriceLabs for pricing and Turno and Breezeway for cleaning coordination. Dynamic Pricing sets nightly rates from local demand and shows the reason behind each change. Many tools in this category handle channel sync or a website but not both, while Lodgify bundles channel management, direct booking, messaging, payments and operations together.
