Frequently asked questions
Here is what some of our
customers needed to know
before signing up
What is a holiday let?
It's a short-term rental let to guests for leisure stays. Think cottages, coastal homes, farmhouses, and rural retreats. Unlike a long-term tenancy, guests stay for nights or weeks, and you're running something closer to a hospitality business than a residential rental.
What is holiday let management software?
It's a property management system (PMS) built to handle the operational complexity of running short-term rentals. You can manage bookings, guest communication, channel distribution, pricing, cleaning schedules, and owner reporting from one platform instead of across a dozen tools.
Do I need software if I only have a few properties?
The admin adds up faster than you'd expect, especially once you're across multiple channels. Most operators find the time saved and double-bookings avoided more than cover the cost.

Airbnb, Booking.com, Vrbo, and 60+ others, with rates, availability, and restrictions syncing automatically across all of them. For UK operators, Guesty also works with Fabulous Holiday Cottages, one of the UK's leading holiday brands. No manual calendar updates, no double-booking risk.
Can I take direct bookings through Guesty?
