Uplisting is a short-term rental and vacation booking software, and one of the best Guesty alternatives for Airbnb hosts on the market.

With other software providers, the focus is on growth; instead of the host experience and what hosts need. This focus on growth often comes at the cost of what would help hosts manage multiple listings and grow.

Once you’ve got five or more properties, you need software to make listings, interacting with guests, and managing service providers. It would help if you had everything in one place. You also need software that maintains that vital connection to Airbnb and doesn’t cause double-booking headaches.

Growing an Airbnb short-term rental and vacation business is exciting. It gives you a way forward to generate a healthy and sustainable income, and you can spend hours every week looking for ways to make the business more efficient and grow. An essential part of this is software that makes that growth more attainable and more comfortable to manage, which is why so many hosts and managers are switching to Uplisting. Find out why Uplisting is the best Guesty alternative for Airbnb hosts.

Why is Uplisting the top Guesty alternative?

#1: More Reliable

When it comes to vacation rental software, you need a reliable solution. It can make a massive difference to the guest experience, how you grow your business and your peace of mind.

With others on the market, such as Guesty, Hostaway, Tokeet, and Kigo, they often lose that vital connection with Airbnb. So you can think everything is working as usual, when bookings aren’t coming through, or multiple guests are booking the same days and nights, causing severe headaches for everyone.

Fixing all of this mess takes time and more work, exactly why property owners and managers prefer to avoid stress and sign-up to Uplisting. When vacation rental software is reliable, you can be confident everything will run smoothly.

#2: Avoid the stress of double-bookings

One of the most severe and persistent problems with other software that claims to do the same is the number of double-bookings hosts, and guests have to deal with it. You can be sure that once a guest has that experience, they won’t come back and are likely to tell others.

Time and again, hosts and property managers struggle with guests booking on the same night. No one wants to wake up to fix that sort of headache over and over. Alongside that, there is the risk of negative reviews putting off other potential guests. Plus, you need to deal with the financial cost of compensation.

Instead of cleaning up that mess, pick software that will give you peace of mind with every booking. We hear from customers all the time that’s why they love Uplisting. It’s easier to sleep knowing software running 24/7 is going to book guests the right way, instead of giving you another double-booking nightmare.

#3: Automation saves managers and owners time

When you’ve got multiple properties to juggle, you need ways to save time. Growth is easier when time is saved on mundane tasks.

Hence one of the many reasons to invest in Uplisting, a time-saving and cost-effective vacation rental software. Uplisting comes with several features that are automated and save property owners an enormous amount of time.

#4: Automated features that support Airbnb

Uplisting comes with features that are designed specifically for Airbnb. Hence it being so reliable. Customers love using Uplisting for Airbnb listings and property management, especially since it helps avoid double-booking headaches and doesn’t lose that vital connection to Airbnb.

Here are the features we’ve specifically designed to work so well with Airbnb, to give you the best experience possible:

  • Smart Rates: Calculate what you want to make automatically, based on Airbnb fees, so you’ve always got a healthy margin. Profits make growth more sustainable, mainly when properties are mortgaged.
  • Automated Guest Reviews: When you provide guest reviews quickly, it boosts your rankings on Airbnb, which increases impressions and generates a positive influx of new bookings. Equally, this should encourage guests to leave reviews, which further increases impressions and bookings.
  • Rapid response to questions: When guests or potential guests have a question, you need to respond quickly. It demonstrates the level of service guests can expect. Not only does this improve their experience, but it also improves your Airbnb rankings.

#5: Helps protect properties

At times, guests can get a little carried away. We’ve all heard of a few Airbnb horror stories, which is why insurance is so important. It’s also why Airbnb has banned bookings in some countries of groups of anyone under 25, in areas too close to where they live, to reduce the risk of parties that could cause damage.

It’s also useful to take a deposit from a guest. If there is any damage, then a deposit should help cover those unexpected costs, and guests willing to pay a deposit are more likely to be careful. This is another way to gain peace of mind from Uplisting.

#6: Keep costs fixed: No booking commission

As a consequence of the devastating global pandemic, fewer people are taking vacations or booking short-term rentals. However, in some states and countries, things are gradually picking up and rebounding strongly in some cases.

But it will be some time until we’re back to normal. Consequently, it helps to keep costs low. Uplisting charges a flat fee, instead of taking a commission on every booking. Other hosting software providers charge a commission, such as Guesty, which cuts into profit margins. With Uplisting, profits stay healthy as costs stay fixed and predictable, making it easier to keep growing.

#7: Official VRBO partner

For hosts and property owners that want to increase revenue through channel diversification, this is another feature that customers welcome.

Uplisting is an official partner of VRBO, giving you another high-traffic platform to promote your listings on. As we are an official partner, this helps you save an extra 5% on VRBO listings. With other providers, you’d have to pay the full fees on VRBO and other platforms.

#8: Beautiful direct booking engine, out-of-the-box

With our Direct Booking Engine, property owners and managers can create stunning direct booking pages in seconds. Guests love these pages, and they ensure managers can maximize their profits and revenue by generating income independent of popular vacation rental platforms, such as Airbnb, VRBO, and others.

Once you’ve got multiple listings, you need software that makes it easier to manage them and keep growing. As customers tell us, other software can cause numerous headaches and problems. That isn’t the case with Uplisting. We have the features hosts, and managers need to make things easier, list on Airbnb and multiple platforms, without the worry of double-bookings. Get everything you need in one easy-to-use and powerful platform.
