We used Happy Guest and want to share our experience so other hosts can make an informed decision.
During a financial audit of our account, we found charges that didn't match reservations or usage of the platform, or what we'd been agreed to: policy coverage that was added without our knowledge or approval, duplicate charges on the same reservation, and charges applied to guests who never even used the Happy Guest portal, despite being told directly that non-use of the portal meant no charge would apply (and instructions on how to avoid the charges).
When we raised this, it took multiple escalations over about three weeks to get any real engagement. One rep's responses felt scripted and didn't address our questions to the point we thought we were being answered by AI. We were eventually told by phone that there is no signed written agreement, that pricing and policies are based on what was discussed in the original sales call rather than anything in writing.
We were told they were going to check on communications and meeting recordings to check on the agreements made with us, and we'd get a follow-up by a specific date; that date came and went twice more before we got a response, and when we finally did, it downplayed the unresolved issues, label is as unkind and rude for asking documentation and accountability and closed our account rather than resolving the underlying billing questions.
I wouldn't recommend using Happy Guest, but if you do, get everything in writing upfront (fee amounts, what triggers a charge, cancellation/change history) and audit your charges regularly. Happy to answer questions if others have had similar experiences.
