Comparison
The big ones are big. But they weren't designed from here.
Hostaway and Lodgify handle channel sync well. What they don't handle is how you get paid, how a team is coordinated and how an owner is accounted to. Alojando was born solving that in Latin America and works in any country.

Guides for property managers

Listing the same unit on Airbnb and Booking doubles the chances of renting it, and also the chances of selling it twice. Here is how to avoid it.
- Commission-free booking engineCommission-free booking engine: how to sell your short-term rental direct
Every booking that comes through your own website is a booking without the site’s commission. This is what you need to start selling direct.
- Short-term rental softwareHow to choose short-term rental software
With two or three properties a spreadsheet is enough. Beyond that, software is what lets you grow without adding people.
- Owner statementsHow to prepare owner statements for short-term rentals
At the end of the month, every owner wants to know how much they are owed and why. A good statement answers both before they ask.
