May 2024: 365Villas Vacation Rental Software Developments

May 28, 2024 | 365Villas News

This May, we’re excited to roll out significant updates to our Vacation Rental Software, designed to enhance your management experience significantly. We also have some exciting internal updates to share!

Introducing GuestWisely!

The hottest new Guest App in town is completely FREE for all 365Villas users

From the moment of booking confirmation, GuestWisely reduces reliance on automated messages and offers a more comprehensive overview by providing everything your guests need to know about their booking, the property, the location, and your business, all through a beautifully curated app.

With GuestWisely, you can eliminate up to 95% of guest inquiries by centralizing essential information in one easily accessible place on their mobile phones. Plus, the app enables taking payments and collecting essential arrival information. It also offers guests your own Guest Messenger, allowing for direct communication through GuestWisely.

Available now for the first 50 users!

GuestWisely is free and available in advance for the first 50 users that contact us to activate this feature.

Hurry and write to [email protected] to claim your spot and secure your free Guest App. It only takes minutes to set up!

Multiple Owner Contacts for Properties

In the property profile page, you can now include multiple owner details—a useful feature for properties co-owned by more than one individual. These details are used for sending automated messages about new bookings or cancellations.

Enhanced Experience When Overriding Booking Rules Restrictions 

Gain flexibility with the ability to override any booking restrictions, such as:

  • Preparation times for last-minute bookings.
  • Bookings in future periods.
  • Check-in and check-out day weekdays.  

You remain in full control, with the ability to proactively override restrictions without any risks.

New Short Codes for Emails and Automated Messages 

We’ve added many new short codes to our system, which can save you a lot of time. These are just a few samples of the types of codes available that can really save you a lot of time:

[POSITION], [FULL_ADDRESS], [WIFI_NAME] and [WIFI_PASSWORD], [LOCAL_INFORMATION], [HOUSE_RULES], [CHECK-IN_INSTRUCTIONS], [CHECK-OUT_INSTRUCTIONS], and [TRASH_INFO].

New Integration with EnsoConnect 

We’re thrilled to announce our new partnership with Enso Connect, bringing cutting-edge innovations to enhance your property management experience. Here’s what you can look forward to: 

  • Enhanced Communication with AI Technology: Streamline guest communications with advanced AI features powered by OpenAI’s GPT-4. This tool provides automatic or suggested replies, making guest interactions quick and personalized.
  • Seamless Lockbox Integration: With Enso Connect, managing access just got easier! Enjoy seamless connections with top lockbox providers like Yale, Salto, August, Schlage, and many more.

What’s Coming in June 

Looking ahead, we’re excited to introduce our integrations with QuickBooks and Xero, designed to streamline the payout to your owners. Moreover, we will add a Reviews Management feature for Airbnb and Vrbo bookings and much more.
