What Is It

HomeManager is an all-in-one management software platform for alquiler vacacional y turístico (vacation/tourist short-term rentals). Its goal is to bring reservations, properties, cleaning, maintenance, transfers, key handover, billing, guest communication, and owner communication into a single system. It feels more like an operations hub for short-term rental management companies than just a simple calendar or booking tool.

Core Features

On the rental management side, the system supports creating and managing bookings from Airbnb, Booking, official websites, email, phone, or WhatsApp. Users can view check-ins and check-outs through an interactive calendar, and generate PDF contracts with one click. The property module stores photos, features, documents, owners, management types, and related activities; the guest module keeps historical bookings, preferred language, communication channels, and internal notes. On the finance side, it can issue income invoices, register expenses, link them to bookings, tasks, or events, and track IVA, payment methods, and collection status. Reports can analyze occupancy, profitability by property and channel, maintenance costs, break-even status, and can be exported as PDFs.

Collaboration, Permissions, and Mobile

HomeManager provides fairly complete coverage of maintenance workflows. It can manage cleaning, utilities, carpentry, painting, transfers, and key handover, with support for assignee allocation, priority levels, real-time progress, and before/after photos. Event management can record issue types, photos, costs, and who is responsible for the expense. For teams, it supports role-based permissions for administrators, coordinators, owners, cleaning/maintenance staff, and others, so each role only sees the information they need. The interface supports Spanish, English, German, Swedish, and Slovak. The copy also mentions browser access plus native iOS/Android apps and real-time push notifications, but the mobile apps are marked as “coming soon,” so actual availability should be verified.

Pricing and Business Model

Pricing is very straightforward: the Plan HomeManager includes all features, is free for the first year, and requires no credit card. After that, it is billed at €1 per property per month; for example, 20 properties cost €20 per month. There is no limit on users, and support plus ongoing updates are included. It also claims to offer custom adaptation at no extra cost, with no long-term commitment and cancellation at any time. Based on the published information, the value for money looks strong, especially for smaller property management companies whose property count is growing but that have relatively large teams.

Pros, Cons, and Who It’s For

The main advantage is that HomeManager covers the short-term rental operations chain quite comprehensively, especially by bringing maintenance, collaborators, owners, invoices, and communication history into the same system. Pricing is low and transparent. The main drawbacks are the lack of disclosed information on data security, backups, GDPR, SLA, payment methods, and other key requirements for business procurement. It is also unclear whether Airbnb, Booking, WhatsApp, and similar services are integrated through official APIs. API and developer support are not described. It is best suited to Spanish-speaking-market vacation rental managers, holiday rental operators, and teams that need to coordinate cleaning and repairs.

Access from China and Alternatives

Access from mainland China is unknown. Since the product is designed around the European short-term rental context, its payments, tax, and channel ecosystem may not fully fit Chinese business needs. For overseas properties, it can be compared with Guesty, Hostaway, Lodgify, Smoobu, and iGMS. For operators managing local homestays in China, it would be better to evaluate alternatives with stronger local availability, OTA, WeChat Mini Program, payment, and finance/tax integrations.
