Don't take our word for it. Hundreds of Lodgify users have flocked to OwnerRez in the past few years - we call them "Lodgify refugees". They rave about the differences. Here are a couple.
"Wish I had found OwnerRez first"
"Lodgify was worst experience ever. It was impossible to get any assistance in a timely manner. The rep said they never call, dont even have a phone to call out. Worse than useless. Waste of time, and over priced"
"Lodgify was way too limited and inflexible"
Basically everything I had needed so far I found a work around in OwnerRez. Or the staff helped me to find a solutions. ....Lodgify was way too limited and inflexible.
"OwnerRez is the best!"
OwnerRez does several things that Lodgify is not able to do, the biggest being the way it can nest and link different of my properties together to eliminate double bookings.
