User Reviews

Hostex is feature-rich for multi‑channel vacation rental management, with standout channel management, real-time sync, unified inbox, and automation. However, recurring problems across reviews include bugs and instability, double-bookings due to syncing, unreliable pricing pushes, notification issues, and slow support. The app offers powerful, integrated capabilities at a competitive price, but reliability and support quality gaps may hinder some users until bugs and workflows are tightened.

Pros

Channel Manager with real-time synchronization across platforms (Airbnb, Vrbo, Booking.com, Agoda, etc).
Unified Inbox that consolidates guest communications from multiple platforms in one place.
Automation and AI-assisted messaging, inquiries handling, and automated reviews.
Direct bookings support with a stand-alone price calendar and bulk/percentage pricing adjustments for easy revenue management.
Comprehensive all-in-one platform enabling team collaboration and task management across properties.

Cons

Recurring double-bookings and scheduling glitches due to syncing between platforms.
General reliability issues and bugs (e.g., receipt upload failures, error messages) that affect everyday use.
Difficulties with customer support and limited, slow, or bot-first assistance.
Unreliable pricing synchronization to channels, leading to undercharging on listings.
Notification delivery problems and inconsistent visibility of alerts across platforms.

This PMS punches way above its weight class at a fraction of the cost of many other providers. It has features and support for stuff that no other PMS even comes close to. However it is so buggy you might not have the patience for it. I just spent 30 minutes trying to upload a receipt image. It simply will not work unless I force-close the app and relaunch. Owner reports are already so clunky and tedious and then every time I try to work on them one gets stuck and we cannot generate reports until that previous request is manually reset by support team. If these folks could tighten these and similar bugs up it would deserve top marks. In the meantime be ready to be chatting with support team easily once a week.

If I could give it 0 stars I would. They double booked one of my homes. Customer service takes forever to respond. They will put the blame on you as well. Never received notifications from them, even though notifications were on. Waste of my money. Don’t use them.
