No Strings Attached<\/h2>\n

One of the few good points of Guestify is that they allow use of their website builder for free, and you can use it as long as you like. You only have to pay for their service if you are already content with your creation and would like to publish it online.\u00a0Guestify also does not impose long term contracts so you\u00a0are not locked in to their service\u00a0at any given time.\u00a0Instead, you will be billed on a monthly basis, and you can cancel anytime you want without fear of extra charges. If you also happen to have an existing domain and would like to have it transferred to Guestify\u2019s service, you can do so without any charges at all.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>

Pricing and Features<\/h2>\n

Starting with the Guestify Bronze at \u00a34.99 a month, you can add Guestify\u2019s inquiry form and room availability calendar to an existing website. This includes free updates for the tools as well. This is good if you are already running a website and would like to show your visitors\u00a0which\u00a0rooms are\u00a0available on which\u00a0dates and give them a faster way to reach out to\u00a0your hotel\u2019s reservations department and book a room ASAP.<\/p>\n

Next, the Guestify Silver plan offers a full website with an inquiry form, which is good enough if you are simply looking to show the amenities of\u00a0your hotel\u2019s rooms online. It costs \u00a37.99 a month and also includes updates. This plan is sufficient if you want to be able to accept quotation requests and other inquiries from browsing visitors who can potentially become guests.<\/p>\n

Lastly, Guestify Gold, at \u00a39.99 a month, opens all of the features offered by their service, which to be perfectly honest, is not that enticing. It only adds the availability calendar to the previous plan\u2019s features, and while the tool can be helpful for visitors, the whole package is\u00a0a pretty lightweight offer compared to what the competition has. In fact, you\u00a0can\u00a0get better features elsewhere at the same price – or sometimes\u00a0even for\u00a0less. There are no options to add third-party apps to make use of Content Management Systems like WordPress, nor can you build a gallery of photos and videos, add social media integration for faster sharing among interested individuals, and generally increase the function of the website.<\/p>\n

Template Selection<\/h2>\n

As of the moment, they only offer eight different templates, although you can add a photo or two and edit the text section for a more accurate description of\u00a0your hotel\u2019s amenities. They do state that they are planning to add more themes to their service, but there is no exact date on when this promise will be delivered, but if they want to stay relevant in the competition, these templates had better come ASAP. Their current offers are limited in terms of design,\u00a0and there is no way to do\u00a0any advanced customizations.\u00a0As such, you can only edit elements like photos and texts. They are severely outdated both in aesthetics and function, to the point that pages are not even mobile optimized. Hopefully, this is one shortcoming that will be addressed in the near future.<\/p>\n

One Big Miss<\/h2>\n

Perhaps the biggest flaw of Guestify is that for a website builder that claims to be dedicated for hotels, they lack the most industry-specific feature found in other website builder services: an online booking management system to accommodate\u00a0guest reservations made online. Not only does this get rid of the need to wait for a hotel representative to confirm placed bookings, it would have also been extremely convenient for visitors. It is truly disappointing how Guestify keeps their offers to a minimum instead of\u00a0peppering their packages with enticing yet highly useful features.<\/p>\n

Customer Service<\/h2>\n

Guestify does not have any support center, not even a FAQ section that you can check out to answer common queries. They also do not provide any means\u00a0for contacting their support team, so you\u2019re pretty much left in the dark should you have any concerns or encounter issues while building your website. This is another great shortcoming of Guestify since other competitors are already offering 24\/7 live chat or email support to their subscribers.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/section>

Guestify Review 2020 – Conclusion<\/h2>\n

Guestify looks like an outdated service which was designed more or less in the late 90s to early 2000 and was never updated since then. And this is exactly what you can expect from the website builder – old templates, a limited editor, severely lacking website elements, and no mobile optimization and online reservation system. For the prices that their plans come in,\u00a0one would expect more features – not\u00a0this barebones service that Guestify offers.\u00a0The only positive points they have are their free trial\u00a0that does not\u00a0expire, and\u00a0the no strings attached subscription, but for everything else, you may want to skip their service and look for more competent packages elsewhere.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
