Switching Back: Our Experience with Lodgify's Complex Interface and Limited Support Leads Us to Return to Smoobu
We switched from Smoobu to Lodgify primarily to integrate with Google Vacation Rentals. The onboarding process with Lodgify was impressive; however, we encountered significant issues with their reporting functionality. The user interface was more complex compared to Smoobu, and despite reaching out for support, the assistance we received was generic and unhelpful. We attempted to resolve these issues over a period of one to two months, using just 10 apartments as a test case, but ultimately, due to these challenges, we decided to return to Smoobu. It seems like everything works 95%. To get it to work 100% you need to be an expert in Lodgify.
