Our onboarding team will then walk you through the account setup and connect your Guesty platform to all your booking channels. Finally, if you’ll still have questions at that stage, feel free to contact our support team.

First, sign up for a free one-on-one software demo where our team of experts will give you a tour of the Guesty platform, at which point you can register as a new user.

Once your account is created, your listings will be connected to the Guesty platform and then integrated with your preferred channels. If you’ll still have questions at that stage, our support team will help you from there.

Our software runs automatic processes in the background of your account to increase search rankings and encourage more bookings.

Guesty has integrated with Stripe, a seamless payment processing system, for easy and reliable collection of accommodation charges, along with all reservation related fees. All charges are accumulated under the guest’s reservation and can be securely debited upon check-out or at any time, according to your company’s policies.

The policy for canceled bookings depends on two factors: the respective cancellation policy of the channel it was reserved through, and whether the guest or host canceled the reservation.

Guesty customer support is available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.

Guesty offers a unique 24/7 Guest Communication Services feature upon request, in which our team of professional receptionists will manually handle full communication with your guests throughout the entire booking cycle, featuring extensive customization to your preferences and using a smart prioritization system to ensure that questions are answered within less than 1 hour.

White labeling communication with guests is possible. However, our default is to open up guest communication by introducing ourselves as your (the host’s) staff. Typically, guests are comforted by knowing that you have a dedicated support team, and it leads to more problems solved and faster resolutions.
