GREAT TOOLS\!" — 5.0/5 > **Dennis Simpson** | *August 17, 2026* | Hospitality | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: Started using them several years ago as a messaging system that was without pair... Moved on to they're better tools And have never looked back > > **Cons**: Rarely we have a reservation deleted but with \[sensitive content hidden\] and the crew they immediately jumped in or diagnose the situation I literally can't think of a con > > Our last several years with host tools have been one of the linchpins of our success... Starting off 11 years ago we never imagined how we would be able to send messages and keep up with everyone but with the automation and booking assistance and guidance for billing \[sensitive content hidden\] and his staff have proved literally invaluable ----- ### "Hosting Tool necessity\!" — 5.0/5 > **Cory** | *August 17, 2026* | Leisure, Travel & Tourism | Recommendation rating: 3.0/10 > > **Pros**: Saved me a ton of time\! Automated repeatable tasks. Customer service is top notch and VERY responsive. Highly recommended. > > **Cons**: Nothing. It’s better than I could imagine. Any of the negatives are outside of the tool’s control and all related to the listing sites. ----- ### "Host tools" — 5.0/5 > **Terry** | *August 17, 2026* | Consumer Services | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: Host tools provided the necessary tools I need to manage my short term rental business. It makes managing my calendar easy and it allows my co host to be connected to all the communications from multiple sites. The value it provides is worth the monthly fee. > > **Cons**: The font size on the mobile app is to small for my liking. I would prefer larger font. The connection with VRBO is always a little delayed. Airbnb and Houfy seem to transmit instantly. > > My experience has been good. Support has always worked quickly to address any issues that have com up in the 4 years as a subscriber. ----- ### "Excellent Tool for STR Hosts" — 5.0/5 > **Alex** | *August 17, 2026* | Hospitality | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: Host Tools is the perfect tool for short term rental hosts. It has all the functionality I need, including advanced logic for messaging rules. It helps create an excellent guest experience. It connects to all the major platforms and has a great mobile app. I researched others, but I don’t plan on switching anytime soon to the other STR hosting tools. The development team is also very responsive. They’ve taken a couple of my ideas and made quick changes from my suggestions. Excellent support\! > > **Cons**: Sometimes the settings or configuration tools are a little less intuitive than I’d hope. However, the help articles walk through how to get to everything very easily. > > I’ve really enjoyed the tool overall- I’d definitely recommend it to other STR hosts. It has everything you need at an excellent value. ----- ### "Excellent service and the best value" — 5.0/5 > **Cam** | *August 18, 2026* | Hospitality | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: This is a high-value product managed by a team that understands the industry, relevant technical partners, and business trends that property owners have top-of-mind. It provided the best option to manage a property across multiple sales platforms at once. Plus, support was always attentive and personable. > > **Cons**: This one is hard -- I liked it enough that I asked if I could get a job with the company, and they weren't hiring at the time. :) > > I used the service to manage a short-term rental property -- and this product perfectly fit a business my size. Some of the competitors are only interested in serving multi-property clients, and they could care less about individual owners. Host Tools hasn't forgotten this crew, and I am very loyal to them as a result. ----- Page: 1 / 8\ Next: [Next page](https://www.capterra.ca/software/183382/superhost-tools?page=2) ## Links - [View on Capterra](https://www.capterra.ca/software/183382/superhost-tools) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | de | | | de-AT | | | de-CH | | | en | | | en-AE | | | en-AU | | | en-CA | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-IL | | | en-IN | | | en-NZ | | | en-SG | | | en-ZA | | | es | | | es-AR | | | es-CL | | | es-CO | | | es-CR | | | es-DO | | | es-EC | | | es-MX | | | es-PA | | | es-PE | | | fr | | | fr-BE | | | fr-CA | | | fr-LU | | | it | | | nl | | | nl-BE | | | pt | | | pt-PT | | ----- ## Structured Data
