Thanks Juan.
Houfy adds back control to hosts for rentals that has been steadily eroded over time. I like that payment goes immediately to hosts at booking. They are the ones that are chiefly providing service to customers, so they should be treated as more than a product source. Houfy allows for dignity. I would suggest looking into some sort of pooled insurance options for hosts. Rates have to be better on a platform given the additional demand and spread risk.

Thank you for the powerful review — it really captures what we’re working toward at Houfy. Restoring control, direct payments, and dignity to hosts is at the core of our mission. We appreciate the suggestion on pooled insurance — it’s a great idea and something worth exploring as we grow. Thanks for being part of the Houfy community and helping shape what comes next.
It was easy to use all my information from another platform. I’m excited about using the platform more and that there are no fees. The only downside is not being able to do direct deposit to bank automatically without going through square (which charges a fee) or stripe. It could be that Stripe does too but I do not have an account.

Thanks so much, Laura! We're happy to hear the transition was smooth and you're enjoying the no service fee setup on Houfy. Stripe and Square both support direct deposit to your bank, but we understand that not every host wants to use them. We're currently looking into additional payment options that might be a better fit for different preferences. Appreciate your feedback — it helps us shape what’s next.
