What Smoobu Users Report

Real feedback from Smoobu users on review platforms.

Dynamic pricing is a paid add-on

Smoobu has a native dynamic-pricing tool, but only as an extra at +€12.99/mo per property — the feature that actually grows revenue isn’t in the base price.

SES only via Chekin

SES Hospedajes isn’t native. It works only through the third-party Chekin integration at roughly €3.50/mo per property — more vendors, more invoices.

0.9% booking fee on the entry plan

The €29/mo Flex plan charges 0.9% on every booking. You only reach 0% commission on prepaid or annual plans.

Per-unit pricing scales up

Each extra unit adds about €9.60/mo, so a growing portfolio keeps inflating the bill on top of the add-ons.

No native reviews or ambassador program

Review management and a referral/ambassador program simply aren’t there, and analytics stay at basic stats.
