Company Overview

Guesty is an Israeli property management software company headquartered in Tel Aviv, founded in 2013 by twin brothers Amiad and Koby Soto. Originally named SuperHost, the idea came from the brothers' experience renting out their own properties on Airbnb and spending excessive time dealing with guest-related issues.

Guesty provides an end-to-end cloud-based platform for property managers and property management companies operating short-term and vacation rentals. The platform integrates with major short-term rental websites including Airbnb, Booking.com, and Vrbo, enabling hosts to manage all properties from a single interface. Features include guest communication management, task automation, revenue tracking, booking management, payment processing, and channel management. Guesty generates revenue by charging either a percentage of booking fees or a fixed monthly fee per property.

Guesty is a Y Combinator graduate and has raised over $110 million in total funding from investors including Apax Digital Fund, Viola Growth, Buran VC, Magma Venture Partners, TLV Partners, and Vertex Ventures Israel. In 2021, the company acquired both MyVR and Your Porter App, consolidating its position in the property management software market.
