Beautiful facility in a very quiet and scenic setting ideally suited for rest. The rooms are modern, well furnished, and clean. The kitchen and bathroom included everything we needed. We will return.

This was our first reservation through Houfy. All seemed to go well with our guest. I directed the guest to Houfy, haven’t had anyone discover us through the Houfy website.

Really easy and clear set up
Really easy and clear set up. Perfect for my goals, to provide a platform for my guests where they can book and pay online. Great solution.

Thanks so much, Janneke! We’re glad the setup was clear and that Houfy fits your goal of offering guests a simple way to book and pay directly.
At the moment, hosts take the lead on marketing, and behind the scenes we’re building tools to help expand reach and make promotion easier moving forward. Looking forward to continuing to improve and hopefully earning that 5th star as we grow.

It was very easy to add our villa 5 yrs ago. This week is turns out it’s worth being patient with our first booking!
I admit some of the behind the scenes tasks aren’t as straightforward, but we’ll persevere!!

Thanks so much, Jan! Great to hear your first booking came through — sometimes patience really does pay off.
We know some of the behind-the-scenes tasks can feel a bit unintuitive, and we’re actively working on making the setup and management flow smoother.
Appreciate you sticking with us and being part of the Houfy community!
Safe, Secure, Easy!

Houfy is great and really easy to do
Houfy is great and really easy to do. The ONLY reason I didn't give a 5 star review is because there's no marketing to promote the fact that the properties are bookable with no platform commission. With some SEO tweaks (the google listing doesn't state "no commission fees!" so there's no reason to go there versus the other platforms) it would definitely be a much valued booking platform.
We've been on houfy for at least a year but got our first (advanced) booking in the last week so hopefully this is a taste of bookings to come!

Thanks so much for the great review, Jaya! We’re glad you’re finding Houfy easy to use — and congrats on the recent advanced booking.
You’re absolutely right about marketing and clearer “no commission fees” messaging. As a small, lean team we’ve focused heavily on product first, but we’re now actively working on stronger SEO and more visible positioning so guests immediately understand the value.
Appreciate the feedback and the support — and here’s to more bookings ahead!

Houfy was great in that I could book directly, save a service fee, and receive quick communication from the owner of the property. I would give it 5 stars except the link to pay for the holiday reservation was not working. I messaged the owner of the property and he sent me a new link, which worked immediately. Other than that, houfy was great and I will use it again. It was not as expensive to rent as it was on VRBO and Airbnb. I will try Houfy first from now on.

Hi Ann,
Thank you so much for taking the time to share your experience — we really appreciate the thoughtful feedback and your kind words about booking directly, saving money, and the smooth communication with the host.
We’re sorry for the brief hiccup with the payment link and appreciate your patience while the host sent a replacement link so quickly. We’re always working to improve reliability across all parts of the booking flow, and feedback like yours helps us refine those experiences for future guests.
It’s great to hear that you found real value compared to other platforms and that you plan to use Houfy again — that means a lot to us. Hopefully on your next booking we’ll deliver that completely seamless experience and earn that 5-star review.
We look forward to welcoming you back for your next stay.
