Smoobu – Vacation Rental App with Channel Manager
Although the focus is on easy operation, the Smoobu app offers everything vacation rental owner needs:
Reservation system / PMS: Always keep track of your bookings. Keeping an eye on all arrivals and departures, informing staff and facilitating guest management make Smoobu the easy PMS, which is both effective and simple.
Channel Manager: Link all your booking portals in one calendar. As a result, all calendars are up to date and you'll never get annoying double bookings and overbookings again. Of course, with the Smoobu Channel Manager you can link all major international portals like Booking.com, Airbnb and Expedia, but you can also link and synchronize countless regional portals with the Smoobu Calendar.
Website Building Kit: Creating your own website has never been so easy. Every landlord of a vacation rental manages to create a beautiful and mobile-optimized website within a few minutes.
- Booking tool: If you already have a website for your vacation rental, you can integrate the Smoobu booking tool there. This will connect your own website with the booking portals and at the same time offer your guests a convenient instant booking option. If requested, with integrated payment function.
Guest communication: The communication with the guests of your vacation rental is a real time waster. Things are different with Smoobu. Create templates and let them be sent automatically to each booking. Keep your guests always perfectly informed and avoid receiving unnecessary enquiries.
Finance: Creating invoices with one click is one of the dreams of every entrepreneur. That's possible with Smoobu. Pre-filled with all booking data, you can quickly create PDFs.

This has been an excellent channel manager for my STR business! I have never had an issue with the app, its easy to access all of my booking information and to make changes. We have 6 listings and this made juggling all the different platforms immensely easier. Easy to set up, synced all my calendars & pricing, message guests, and gave me a lot of peace of mind about double bookings or missed communication. Anytime I needed assistance my messages were responded to by a team member lightning fast!! I am really happy with the value I've received from utilizing Smoobu compared to the other channel managers I demoed. Their prices didn't compare for similar offerings.
Glitchy app. Quite a few things don't work. So the App is not reliable. Half the times, it does not even load up. It's ok to take care of messages etc. on the go but you definitely need to use web portal for things like blocking dates etc. This is buggy nd glitchy and doesn't work.
Trialed this product and connected one of my airbnb accounts. It set my nightly rate to £10 a night with 1 night min stay on every property. I've now lost my superhost status as airbnb has cancelled the reservations on my part. In addition to this, all of the cancelled guests are now leaving 1 star reviews. This combined with the stress of dealing with airbnb's call center.
I really used to like smoobu. As a occasional renter the free version just did the job in keeping the calendar synced as long as I would feed the bookings manually to smoobu. Some month ago Smoobu just stopped blocking the calendars on Airbnb, TripAdvisor, etc, fot the bookings I had manually fed to smoobu. There wasn't any previous notice from smoobu. Very disappointing.
Smoobu is my preferred channel management system. It's very simple to use every day and an easy application to pick up, plus the helpful, down to earth support team team make it super accessible for non techy business operators too. Highly recommended!
Smoobu made my daily life very easy. Syncronizing all the channels, having the ability to give access to team members. Additionally, the support is very helpful.
Easy to use channel manager. It could use an at-a-glance calendar so you can see all your rooms in one place. Other than that it works perfectly and doors what it says
Firstly, smoobu have an amazing product which all hosts should try out. Their staff are super helpful and the app is so well-equipped that you'll hardly ever need a computer!
Have not used it yet. But had a very pleasant conversation/demo with a new rep Erika C. She over sees Americans eng speaking market. Was impressed with functionality and features.
Thanks to the team at Smoobu for building an app. Keep up the good work.
it is extremelly dificoult to get to the customer service. also customer service doesnt work on sundays.
App will never remember login have to log in everytime
Such a great app! Very helpful 🥰
Interesting!
I have been using Smoobu for over 8 months now and our entire family is very happy to be able to use it. Using Smoobu was an absolute game changer for us. Being able to adjust prices and reservations once and apply them automatically to all the different platforms on which our properties are listed saves as a huge amount of work, plus it provides a great overview of the reservations of all properties in one place. We use it daily to accept reservations and coordinate check-in and check-outs.
