Why hosts switch

Key reasons hosts choose Hostmizer

More flexible terms

No long-term lock-in and no monthly subscription — leave whenever you want, no questions asked.

A real, named manager

One person who knows your property, your guests and your goals — not a rotating ticket queue.

See every booking, payout and pricing decision in your dashboard. No black-box reporting.

Full multi-channel reach

Airbnb, Booking.com, Vrbo plus a direct booking website — without losing your listing identity.

Damage protection included

Up to €5,000 of coverage on every stay, included in your 15% — not a paid add-on.

Built for modern STR operators

A product-led platform with dynamic pricing, automation and a clean operating dashboard.

Where legacy solutions fall short

Common frustrations hosts share with us

These are the recurring themes we hear from hosts moving over from older, less flexible services. Your experience may vary — but the patterns are real.

Contracts that lock you in

Many large agencies require multi-year commitments. If results disappoint, your options are limited.

Listings under the agency account

When listings live on the agency's profile, your reviews and SEO equity don't fully follow you when you leave.

Less local pricing nuance

Pure algorithmic pricing can miss neighbourhood events, school holidays and demand spikes a local manager would catch.

Slow, ticket-based support

Hosts often report waiting days for non-urgent answers and bouncing between regional teams.

I went from €1,800 to €2,600 per month in the first 90 days. The dynamic pricing alone paid for the service ten times over.

I was spending 8 hours a week on messages. Now it's zero — and my guests get faster, better answers than when I did it myself.

My listing manager spotted a local marathon weekend I had priced normally. That one tip earned me an extra €800. Hostmizer pays for itself.

Frequently asked

Hostmizer vs HomerezFAQ

Hostmizer charges a flat 15% commission with no monthly fee and no setup cost. Homerez's pricing is contract-based and varies by region, so the better deal depends on your property — most hosts find a transparent commission-only model easier to forecast.

Yes. Most hosts can switch in days. We help you migrate calendars, transfer listings where possible and align channel settings so you don't lose bookings during the transition.

No. Hostmizer is a digital management layer — pricing, listing optimisation, guest messaging, channel sync and reporting. You keep your own cleaner and local contacts. We can introduce you to vetted local partners, but you contract directly with them.

Reviews tied to listings under your own Airbnb or Booking.com account stay with you. Reviews on listings owned by an agency account can be harder to transfer — we'll walk you through the cleanest path for your situation.

Hostmizer distributes to Airbnb, Booking.com, Vrbo and a direct-booking website. Homerez has a broader OTA network in some regions, but for the vast majority of European hosts the major channels drive 90%+ of demand.

Hostmizer is best for hosts who want a fully managed digital experience without giving up ownership or flexibility — typically 1 to 20 properties, modern operators who value transparency, real people and a clean dashboard.

No. You can cancel any time, for any reason. We earn your business every month.
