Although if you change an existing message, it WILL allow you to apply it to 'only new' or 'existing and new' reservations - The system can currently only program one lock automatically - would love to have the option for it to do a second lock - I wish it offered 'quick reply' templates via the inbox. I don't currently use the AI feature as early on it responded with the wrong reply - I wish it had the option to turn off messages on check in or out days if desired > > Five stars\! I have three properties that I had with a different PMS where I was looking for support primarily with Airbnb/VRBO and a Direct Booking website. Overall, this site was easy to set up and to link my properties. I used the two week trial to set up my communication templates as I had upcoming reservations. Importing the properties took just a few minutes - admittedly I had researched ahead of time how to property disconnect them from my former PMS before connecting via Hostex. The software, like any, had a wee bit of a learning curve, but it was easier to learn than my last one and more dynamic. The chat feature has worked well for me to get answers to my various questions - at times they also include screen shots which is AWESOME\! One of my gripes of my former PMS is that if something went wrong, you weren't notified by the system - it was something you just figured out and had to notify them. Not with Hostex\! The log feature is great - not only am I notified if something didn't work or link up, it's documented in the log so I can check here too - genius\! Given that the log existed, I was more comforable in allowing the system to program/set up the lock codes for my guests - AWESOME\!\! The direct book website isn't the most dynamic but it gets the job done and mine is fully automated - from the confirmation message, payment collection, lock codes, and the thank you message\! I do wish that there was a bit more functionality here as I feel it is limited with regard to adding house rules (you need to currently add them to the description - which makes for a LONG description). Overall I'm very happy with this system and look forward to many, many years with them\! ----- ### "BEST CMS I HAVE USED SO FAR 5/5" — 5.0/5 > **Oscar Alberto** | *10 February 2026* | Hospitality | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: Hostex is a growing CMS that has been awesome for us thanks to its high level of integrations and the way it centralizes multiple tools into one platform. > > **Cons**: still need some improvements on reporting or information details to share forward to the homeowners. > > Overall, our experience with Hostex has been very positive, especially due to its continuous improvements and strong integration capabilities. ----- ### "Great value for the money, there is room for improvement\!" — 4.0/5 > **Alejandro** | *2 July 2026* | Leisure, Travel & Tourism | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: I think Hostex is a really good option, specially if you think about value for money. I have never tried other competitors but before joining hostex i checked several options and Hostex was the best. It is really complete, and overal i have not come accross many bugs while using it. > > **Cons**: Customer support replies quite fast although not always having solutions for some basic requests. Not the best UX design, but its not bad either > > Been with Hostex for more than a year now, and considering all i do not plan to make a change any time soon. ----- ### "Hostex simplifies property management" — 5.0/5 > **Oscar** | *15 February 2026* | Hospitality | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: Hostex has been indispensable in managing our vacation rental properties. The channel manager seamlessly syncs calendars across Airbnb, Booking.com, Vrbo, and other OTAs, preventing double bookings. The automated messaging module sends personalized check-in instructions and review requests, saving us time. We also appreciate the unified inbox and ability to manage pricing, cleaning tasks, and guest reviews from one platform. Customer support is responsive and knowledgeable. > > **Cons**: The user interface could be more modern, and customizing email templates is somewhat limited. Some advanced automation features require the Pro plan, which may not be cost-effective for very small portfolios. Reports could also offer more customization. > > Overall, Hostex has been a valuable tool for our short-term rental business. It has streamlined daily operations, reduced manual tasks, and improved communication with guests. It's been reliable and stable, and the support team is attentive. I would recommend it to property managers seeking to automate and scale. ----- ### "The best PMS out there\!\!\!" — 5.0/5 > **Diana** | *14 January 2026* | Hospitality | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: I have been searching for a PMS which would cover my needs. I needed a solution which would allow me to automate my work with 2 platforms (Booking.com and Airbnb) while being able to integrate more platforms, collecting online the documents from the guests and having everything under control without paying much. Hostex is the service I chose from all other services. While other services charge 3-4 times the price, they have non-existent document collection or not the type I wanted and very few options of booking services. Hostex, on the other hand, provides check-in form including the document collection and has 11 booking services that you can integrate (including Google Vocation Rentals) plus additional services like Pricelabs and Rategenie to make the pricing easier. Plus, they have free API\! I have been using Hostex since around May-June 2025 and there were not issues regarding reservation synchronization. When I had issues, support would help me resolve the issue within a day\! I highly recommend this service\! > > **Cons**: The automations more limited compare to Guesty, for instance, but they are sufficient. Also, the Check-in guide design is a bit outdated and the editing is strict and limited but it works for me. ----- Page: 1 / 2\ Next: [Next page](https://www.capterra.ae/software/1032510/hostex?page=2) ## Links - [View on Capterra](https://www.capterra.ae/software/1032510/hostex) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | en | | | en-AE | | | en-AU | | | en-CA | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-IL | | | en-IN | | | en-NZ | | | en-SG | | | en-ZA | | ----- ## Structured Data
