Recommended For The Following
Individual Self-Managing Property Owners – Yes. Hospitable can be used as a stand alone PMS in connection with a few key integrations.
Property Managers and Co-hosts – It depends. Co-hosts and those who only manage a handful of properties could make Hospitable work by choosing the right companies to supplement their tech stack. This may be a good option for those who want an easy to set up and easy to use PMS.
Compared to other enterprise-level property management software though, Hospitable is missing features such as owner statements, robust reporting, and automated rental agreements that would make it a good fit for larger property managers and co-hosts. Features such as the ability to easily connect other owners’ Airbnb accounts to a Hospitable account, and the ability to create email aliases make it apparent Hospitable is seeking to strengthen their hand in this arena and it is worth watching to see what new features they roll out.

- Reservation information is managed for Airbnb, Vrbo, and Booking.com to prevent double bookings, but Hospitable users will need to manage listing descriptions, photos, and details for VRBO and Booking.com through each of those platforms instead of only through Hospitable. This can be tedious if you are connected to Airbnb, VRBO, and Booking.com because you will have to update the information in three places instead just through the PMS.

Pros
- One of the best PMS values
- 14 day free trial
- Compared to other PMS, Hospitable is intuitive and easy to set up. This draws a lot of users to Hospitable.
- Guest messaging is reliable, and sends messages to Airbnb and VRBO guests through the Airbnb and VRBO platforms (which is great if you have an issue come up and you need to get Airbnb or VRBO support involved). There are many hosts who use Hospitable strictly for their messaging feature and manage other aspects of their business through another PMS they run parallel to Hospitable.
- The Bad Guest Review Feature: This feature lets hosts write a bad review for poor guests that is automatically posted 20 seconds before the review window expires. As a result, hosts can write an honest review without worrying about a retaliatory review from the guest. Genius!
- Hospitable is in a growth and innovation phase and have been adding new features and integrations quickly.
Cons
- Property managers might not find all the features they require.
- The direct booking website feature is still in beta and may not suit the needs of hosts yet.
- Limited integration partners by comparison with other PMS. *iCal calendar can be exported to connect with additional STR related companies.
- Hospitable users will need to manage listing description, photos, and details for VRBO and Booking.com through each platform instead of only through Hospitable. This can be tedious if you are connected to Airbnb, VRBO, and Booking.com because you will have to update the information in three places instead of one.
