Great company
Great company. Houfy makes it affordable to list my properties. No hidden fees. No middle man fees. Cheaper for the guest and more profit for me.

First booking request for host with single property
I host a single property and decided to try Houfy.com as a way for returning guests to book directly with lower fees and without a lot of additional setup on my end.
I recently received my first booking request through Houfy and was hoping the experience would be similar to the other platforms where I list my property—just without the fees. So far, it has been exactly that.
I received the booking request as expected, and the guest was able to complete the deposit payment directly through the Houfy website. The deposit showed up in my Stripe account just as expected. It appears that I will need to send the payment link for the remaining balance closer to the check-in date, although there is also an option to enable automated payments, which I may use in the future.
The reservation details are easy to view, and the pricing breakdown is clear and straightforward. Overall, I’m glad I started using Houfy and think it’s a great option for hosting returning guests who want to book directly.

Houfy was exactly what I was looking for. It allows me direct bookings without the fees that big name platforms charge. The link it connects my guests to is professionally done and user friendly.

I am still learning ......It took sometime to find out how to contact you personally but once I did the response time was very prompt. Had to set up a zoom call and Nicholas was wonderful. He took his time and had patience with me...very professional. The best thing about it is now I know I can reach out with any questions or problems I am having with confidence I will get a real person who cares about me learning and knowing how to navigate the platform. I am still learning but I feel with every booking I will get better AND my questions can be answered with only an email away.

Thank you so much for the kind review! It was a pleasure speaking with you and I’m really glad the Zoom call helped.
Learning a new platform can take a little time, and we’re always happy to help along the way. That’s exactly what we aim for — making sure there’s a real person on the other end when you need guidance.
Looking forward to seeing your confidence grow with each booking. Don’t hesitate to reach out anytime. ☺️
10/10 Idea, 8/10 Execution (So Far)
Houfy still has some technical bugs to sort out, but overall it works well as a vacation rental platform that allows guests to book directly with hosts, cutting out $100s in AirBnB/VRBO fees. I will say that I see them rolling out new features, so I'm hoping the user experience continues to improve for both guests and hosts.

Thanks for the thoughtful review! We’re glad you see the vision behind Houfy and the value of direct bookings without the extra fees.
You’re also right that there’s still room to improve. We’re actively rolling out updates and new features, with a strong focus on smoothing out the user experience for both hosts and guests. Feedback like yours helps us prioritize what matters most.
Appreciate the support and hope we can earn that 10/10 over time.

Hi,
We’re sorry to hear you feel this way. Looking at your account, there have in fact been successful bookings through Houfy, so the platform has generated value for you — though we understand expectations may have been higher.
Houfy operates differently from commission-based platforms. Because we don’t take service fees from bookings, we don’t/can't fund large-scale marketing in the same way traditional marketplaces do. Instead, we focus on giving hosts control and keeping costs low.
This year, we’re rolling out additional tools and automations designed to help hosts directly market and grow their business more effectively from within Houfy - addressing the "traffic" dilemma.
We appreciate the feedback and remain committed to improving the platform.
