All-in-one vacation rental management software with website, channel manager and bookings

Lodgify is doubling down on Airbnb and Vrbo automation, capped by a brand and pricing relaunch.

Current state
Lodgify, a vacation-rental property management SaaS, spent late 2025 and early 2026 shipping operator-grade features on top of its OTA integrations — granular Vrbo sync, automatic Airbnb reviews, and an Airbnb Quality Dashboard with category scoring and trend analytics. May 2026 brought a brand and pricing relaunch announced as a unified inflection moment, though the changelog entry itself keeps the specifics behind a video and blog post.
Where it's heading
Feature investment is concentrating on Airbnb and Vrbo workflow automation — the two channels operators care most about — rather than the property-website product Lodgify originally led with. The marketplace is starting to host ancillary apps (insurance, etc.), suggesting a platform-revenue layer is forming alongside the SaaS base. The relaunch framing points to repositioning toward larger, multi-property operators.
Prediction
Concrete plan and pricing detail plus the first post-relaunch product changes should land in changelog form within two weeks, most likely extending the analytics surface the Airbnb Quality Dashboard opened.

    A new era of hosting starts now!

    Announces a brand relaunch with new pricing plans and bundled product updates as a single moment. The changelog entry is marketing-shaped — the operator-visible specifics sit behind a video and blog rather than this note — so the substance will surface in subsequent feature entries.

    Introducing Airbnb Quality Dashboard

    Adds a dedicated Airbnb performance view inside Reviews with average score, 5-star rate, category breakdowns (cleanliness, accuracy, communication), and week-over-week / year-over-year trend comparison, filterable by listing, host, city, or country. Extends Lodgify's Airbnb tooling from operational automation into analytics, complementing the auto-review feature from November.

    Assur-Lodge insurance app added to Lodgify marketplace

    Adds Assur-Lodge — an insurance integration covering cancellations, trip interruptions, late arrivals, and owner-side losses — to the third-party marketplace. Modest as a single listing, but a sign the marketplace is starting to host ancillary-revenue partners rather than only core channel and PMS connectors.

    Choose how Lodgify syncs with Vrbo

    Lets operators choose Full sync (Lodgify manages content, rates, policies, availability — Vrbo changes are overwritten) or Partial sync (Lodgify handles rates, availability, booking rules, and reservations while content stays editable in Vrbo). Closes a long-standing complaint from operators who needed Vrbo-specific listing features without abandoning Lodgify's operational layer.

    Automatically post reviews on Airbnb

    Automates posting Airbnb reviews after checkout — 5-star by default, rotated templates, with an edit-or-skip step before send. Targets the documented dynamic that hosts reviewing guests increases reciprocal-review rates: operator-time savings plus an Airbnb-ranking lever in one feature.
