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.
The marketing and stuff I run otherwise.

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.
