Guesty is a property management software. It is used by property managers to manage short-term rentals listed on multiple platforms such as Airbnb, Vrbo, and Booking.com.
Guesty was founded in 2013 under the name SuperHost by twin brothers Amiad and Koby Soto.[2] The idea came from renting out their properties on Airbnb and spending large amounts of time dealing with guest-related issues.[3]
The company was rebranded to Guesty in 2014[4] and launched as a service for homeowners to get their properties ready for listing on Airbnb, including help with subsequent maintenance such as cleaning and laundry.[3] It transitioned into a software service to help property managers deal with issues such as guest communication and task management.[4] [5]
The company is a Y Combinator graduate.[6] In 2021, it acquired MyVR and Your Porter App, both property management software companies,[7] and has raised a total of $110 million in funding from investors such as Apax Digital Fund, Viola Growth, Buran VC, Magma Venture Partners, TLV Partners and Vertex Ventures Israel.[6] [8]
Guesty describes itself as an end-to-end platform for property managers and property management companies.[9] It provides cloud-based tools that help with things like tracking guest check-ins and revenue of each property.[5] It integrates with short term rental websites such as Airbnb, Booking.com, and Vrbo to manage all a host's properties on a single platform.[10] The company generates revenue by charging a percentage of the booking fee received from each property,[11] or charges users a fixed fee per property each month.[12]
