If you run one or two vacation rentals and do not have a website, Lodgify can save you a fair amount of setup work. It gives you a site where guests can see your rentals and check the dates. They can book without going through Airbnb or Vrbo. The builder is limited, but it gets the job done.
If you already have a website you like, this feature will not matter much. You can add Lodgify's booking form to the site you already have. The bigger question is whether Lodgify can keep your Airbnb, Vrbo, and direct bookings on the same calendar. This is the part that worries us.
The website builder is useful if you need one
You do not need to know how to code or work out how to connect several different tools. Lodgify gives you the website, booking form, payment tools, and booking calendar in one account. When a guest books on your website, the reservation appears beside your bookings from Airbnb and Vrbo.
The designs are fairly basic. That will be fine for a host who needs a working website and wants to start taking direct bookings. If the website is a big part of your brand or you want a custom design, you may outgrow it.
Lodgify includes the website builder on its Starter plan, which works with up to two properties. This is probably the plan a small host will look at first. If you already paid for a good website, however, Lodgify is replacing fewer tools and there is less reason to move everything over.
Every booking site needs to show the same open dates
When someone books through Airbnb, Lodgify should block those dates on Vrbo and your own website. The same thing should happen whichever site the booking comes from. If one calendar misses the change, two guests can book the same property.
This works well for plenty of small hosts. The more serious problems we found happened when people connected listings that already had future bookings or dates they had blocked themselves.
One host moved six furnished rentals into Lodgify. Existing Vrbo reservations and blocked dates did not show up. A newly connected Airbnb listing then accepted a booking for a date that was already occupied.
Another small host said Vrbo never connected properly. The host still had to change calendars by hand across Airbnb and Booking.com, and the business ended up with a double booking. Lodgify asked for the account details after the host discussed the problem in public, but the discussion does not say whether it was fixed.
These are individual cases, so they do not prove that Lodgify commonly loses bookings. They do show what you need to check. Go through every existing reservation and blocked date before you accept new bookings. Make sure each property is connected to the right listing, then make and cancel a test booking on every site.
The setup help sounds good
New customers often praise Lodgify's setup calls. A staff member walks through the account, answers questions, and may send notes or a recording afterward. That is genuinely useful if you have never built a booking website or connected several booking sites before.
Help with an urgent problem gets a more mixed response. Some hosts describe slow replies, closed tickets, or having to explain the same problem to different support staff. If a calendar connection breaks while a guest is trying to book, we would not assume support will sort it out in time.
Use the setup call to check the things that could cause a double booking. Ask the person helping you to look at old reservations, blocked dates, and the connection for each property. A tour of the dashboard is helpful, but it is not the same as checking that the dates are correct.
A larger rental business may outgrow it
A host with two glamping sites used Lodgify to take bookings and plan jobs for cleaners and repair workers. That is a practical use of the product. The booking comes in, and the work connected to the stay can be kept in the same account.
The same host ran into trouble after Lodgify changed the way rates appeared in the calendar. The final prices shown on Airbnb and other booking sites were no longer visible inside Lodgify, so the host made pretend bookings on each site to check the price. That is exactly the kind of checking the software is supposed to remove.
The phone app may be enough for a small host who wants to check a booking away from a computer. Older App Store reviews say it handles more daily tasks than it once did. One review from 2026 came from a host with 20 properties. The app took about a minute to load, and owner reports put fees in the wrong place. Lodgify said a newer version improved loading and stability. We do not know whether it fixed the reporting problem.
A host with one or two rentals may never hit those limits. They matter much more when several staff members use the account or property owners are waiting for accurate monthly reports.
Pricing
Lodgify currently lists four plans and advertises a 0 percent booking fee. The subscription price changes with the number of properties and the billing term, so there is no single monthly figure that will be useful to everyone.
Basic is for one property and does not include the website builder. Starter works with up to two properties and adds the website, booking form, payments, setup call, reports, and co-host access. Professional adds automated messages and phone support. Ultimate includes jobs for cleaners and maintenance workers, owner reports, and more detailed reporting.
Ask Lodgify for the price based on the number of properties you actually manage. Then look at what you can stop paying for. Starter may replace a website builder, booking form, and separate booking calendar. If you already have those tools and they work well, the price is harder to justify.
Who should use Lodgify
We recommend Lodgify for a small host who needs a direct-booking website. It is not fancy, but it can put your rentals online quickly and let guests book them. The setup call is also useful if this is your first time connecting several booking sites.
We would skip it if you already have a website and only want one calendar for a group of live listings. We would also be careful with a larger rental business that depends on the phone app, owner reports, or several property connections working without regular checks.
If you choose Lodgify, check every old booking and blocked date before turning on instant booking. That matters more than how polished the website looks.
