Verdon
“It was much better than I ever expected. And I expected a lot!”
“I was doing great using Airbnb to host our property for nightly rentals. I didn't think I needed to use a property management software like Lodgify to cross post and create a website for our home. But when we added a 2nd property I thought about it more and decided to try it out. I AM SO GLAD I DID! It was so easy to integrate our properties and cross post them. We have been seeing a measurable increase in revenue and bookings.”
Michael
“Highly recommend it to anyone looking for a reliable all-in-one system to run multiple properties smoothly!”
“Lodgify has been a great tool for managing my short-term rental business. It’s easy to connect listings across Airbnb, Vrbo, Booking.com, and my own website, keeping everything perfectly synchronized. The interface is clean, and automation features like guest messages and booking confirmations save a lot of time.”
Jackie
“Lodgify didn't just meet my expectations—it blew them away...For once, it feels like software made for people like me.”
“The platform itself is beautifully designed, fast, and incredibly functional. From centralising bookings and payments to building a slick website for our guesthouse, it’s all there. IDEAL integration? Check. Two-way sync with Airbnb and Booking? Seamless. The mobile app? Actually usable. For once, it feels like software made for people like me.”

Still have questions?
What are automation tools for vacation rentals?
Automation tools for vacation rentals are features that handle repetitive hosting tasks without manual work. This includes sending scheduled messages, generating access codes, creating cleaning tasks and triggering actions based on booking events. Instead of doing everything yourself, you set up rules once and let the system run.
How does short-term rental automation save me time?
Short-term rental automation eliminates the need to manually send check-in instructions, booking confirmations and review requests. Hosts using Lodgify's automation features report spending up to 75% less time on daily admin tasks. That time goes back to you for hospitality, marketing or simply taking a break.
Can I customize the automated messages sent to guests?
Yes. You can use our ready-made templates or write your own from scratch. Lodgify automatically inserts guest names, property details, booking dates and other relevant information. Your messages feel personal even though they're sent automatically.
What triggers can I use for vacation rental automation?
Lodgify supports multiple trigger options: booking confirmed, check-in date, checkout date and guest inquiry. You choose when each automation runs and what action it takes. For example, you can send check-in instructions two days before arrival and a review request the morning after checkout.
Do I need technical skills to set up automations?
Not at all. Lodgify's automation builder is designed for hosts, not developers. You select your triggers, choose your actions and customize your messages using a simple interface. No coding or technical knowledge required. If you can send an email, you can set up an automation.
How do Lodgify Smart Locks work with automation?
Lodgify Smart Locks automatically generate unique entry codes for each guest based on their booking dates. Codes are sent directly to guests before check-in and expire after checkout. You manage all your smart lock devices from your Lodgify account without needing separate apps.
Will automated messages feel impersonal to my guests?
No. Lodgify's templates are designed to feel warm and personal. You can customize the tone, add your own touches and include dynamic fields that pull in guest-specific details. Most guests won't know the difference between an automated message and one you typed yourself.
