Hi everyone, Mark here from Boostly. I wanted to check in and respond openly, as I only recently became aware of this thread.
First off, thank you to Paul, Deb, Brad, and others for taking the time to share detailed feedback. Whether positive or negative, it’s all useful, and I genuinely appreciate people being honest about their experiences.
A few important clarifications that...
Hi Ownerrez Support Team,
I am reaching out to inquire about a potential adjustment to the messaging settings within the platform. Currently, when we communicate with guests, the Airbnb co-host's name is visible in the messaging thread. While this is helpful in some cases, it has become somewhat challenging to quickly identify the guest’s name in conversations, especially when managing multiple...
Has anyone seen this from Airbnb this morning?
(Full text below the screenshot)
Seems like they want deposits (even api host offsite holds) to show up as a fee in their check out. They’re trying to show all the fees upfront on the search The problem is the deposit is a hold not a charge, but if they show it, it’ll look like a charge and make listings with holds/deposits seem more exp...
When you run a short-term vacation rental business, guest trust is everything. That trust doesn't just come from clean homes or great reviews; it also depends on how well you protect your guests' personal and financial information. Every time a guest books your property using a credit card, they're putting faith in your ability to keep their data safe.
PCI compliance: short for Payment Card Indus...

Hi Scott. I assumed the unified inbox had been rolled out to all OwnerRez users at this point, but I forg...
Hi Alisa, after much research, I'm using an AI messaging tool and have found it helpful, although there are some frustrations. They aren't nearly as good as OwnerRez when it comes to taking feedback/improving their product.
I realize the idea of having AI respond to guests can be a polarizing topic, but AI messaging tools have a lot of functions, even if PMs don't have it automatically respondi...
Hey Jordan,
Google Vacation Rentals is not necessarily the issue. Your listing does market your direct book website to a broad audience. That's good and bad. Bad because scammers look for properties to vacation where they can check in at the last minute, using stolen credit cards. By the time the credit card is reported stolen and a chargeback is filed, they have enjoyed your place and are long...
