Common questions
What should I test before switching to one of these tools?
Check future bookings, blocked dates and rate plans before the new system takes control. Then look at rates and fees on each booking site. A link marked connected does not prove that every booking or price rule moved across.
How should I compare the full setup for Hostfully Property Management Platform and ResNexus?
List the main software and any extras on their own. Extras can include lock tools, guidebooks, paid modules and a team to answer guests. Ask which tasks your quote covers. Name the person who will do the work that remains. An inbox or task list does not do it all for you.
Does Hostfully’s base software include Digital Guidebooks and smart-device tools?
Do not assume both are in the base plan. Hostfully lists Digital Guidebooks and smart-device tools as add-ons. Ask for a quote that names the services you need. Check their setup costs and scope apart from the main property software.
Can ResNexus show who should clean a room and when it was last cleaned?
Yes. Its housekeeping chart tracks the unit, last cleaning, assigned person, cleaning type and room status. You can also change cleaning checklists. Check that your package has the tools you need. The chart records work; it does not prove cleaning quality.
