str market mapA short-term rental business runs on reservations, channel listings, guest messages, pricing, payments, owner money and field work, and each of those usually lives in a separate tool. Calendars drift apart, rates go stale between updates, and the owner statement at the end of the month has to be reconciled by hand. The larger the portfolio, the more of the week disappears into keeping systems agreeing with each other instead of into the business.
Guesty is a property management platform for short-term rental operators, founded in New York in 2013. It covers the operating cycle in one system: distribution, reservations, guest communication, revenue management, payments, trust accounting, owner reporting and field operations. An open API and a marketplace of more than 150 vetted integrations extend it, and the platform is sold in three tiers so a solo host and a thousand-unit manager run on the same underlying system.
Listings publish through the Channel Manager to Airbnb, Booking.com, Vrbo, Expedia, Google Travel and 60+ other channels, and every reservation lands in one Multi-Calendar and one Unified Inbox. Guesty Websites and Direct Reservations carry the direct channel, a CRM holds guest history, GuestVerify screens guests before arrival and LocksManager issues access codes. PriceOptimizer sets nightly rates from demand signals. GuestyPay processes payments and deposits, Trust Accounting produces owner statements and payouts, and an Owners Portal gives each owner their own view. Task Management drives cleaning and maintenance through a staff mobile app, Multi-Unit Management handles buildings split into several rentals, and an Enterprise Management Hub sits above multi-brand portfolios. A layer of AI agents runs across these areas: answering plain questions about revenue and occupancy, matching bank transactions, drafting guest replies and review responses, writing listing copy, and screening payments for fraud. Guesty Shield covers damage and liability, and Guesty Capital offers financing against future bookings.
Guesty Lite serves 1 to 3 listings from 9 US dollars per listing per month, Guesty Pro covers 4 to 199, and Guesty Enterprise handles 200 or more. Customers run vacation rentals, urban rentals, aparthotels, bed and breakfasts and serviced apartments worldwide.
Guesty has completed its acquisition of Smily, the French property management system and channel manager that has operated since 2010. Terms were not disclosed. Smily has processed EUR 3.3 billion in bookings for 13 million travellers and brings Guesty an established base of French hosts and property managers. France is the second-largest short-term rental market globally, with more than one million active listings and roughly USD 9 billion in annual gross booking value across OTAs. Guesty CEO Amiad Soto said Smily had earned the trust of French operators for more than fifteen years; Smily CEO Sebastien Grosjean said bringing his team and its knowledge of France and Europe to Guesty was the better path given how fast the industry and its technology are moving. Guesty plans to extend its AI and Agent Hub tooling to Smily customers.
