A switch from Guesty to Cloudbeds
Liam had been running his rentals on Guesty and decided to move to Cloudbeds. Changing PMS is a big step for any business, because the system sits behind every listing, calendar and reservation.
For an owner running 6 rentals, time is one of the most valuable resources in the business. That shaped how I approached the whole project.
What I did
The whole transfer, end to end
I did the whole transfer from Guesty to Cloudbeds for Liam, from start to finish.
My six years running hotel operations in Canada help with work like this. The same principles that keep a hotel running smoothly, one source of truth and clean channel connections, apply to a group of rentals too, just at a different scale.
Where it stands now
Migration completed
The migration is complete, and Liam’s 6 Airbnb rentals now run on Cloudbeds. Liam has given great feedback on the work, which I am grateful for.
If you run short-term rentals and are thinking about switching PMS, I would be glad to look at it with you.
Questions about this work
Do you work with individual Airbnb owners, or only hotels?
Both. Liam runs 6 Airbnb rentals in the UK, and I also work with hotels.
Can you move a rental business from Guesty to Cloudbeds?
Yes. I did the whole transfer from Guesty to Cloudbeds for Liam’s 6 Airbnb rentals in the UK.
Do you only work with Cloudbeds?
No. I also work with Opera and Mews. The work covers PMS fixes, channel mapping, rate parity checks, PMS health audits, automation such as guest messaging and ticketing, and hotel websites.
What happens on the free audit?
It is a 30-minute conversation with no sales pressure. I look at how your PMS and website are set up and point out what could be costing you bookings, whether or not we work together after.
