You asked for event-optimized pricing, full-spectrum protection, and more granular detail in your accounting tools. So we built exactly that. What’s more, we’ve added exciting new capabilities to your Unified Inbox, developed to drive conversion rates and enhance the guest experience with every interaction. You’ll find:

Here’s your guide to our latest enhancements and how to implement them for measurable results.
1. Pricing
PriceOptimizer™
You’ve heard about the Taylor Swift effect. A high-profile event in your region hikes up rates, and you need a new pricing strategy to keep up. Guesty PriceOptimizer now factors in local concerts, festivals, and sports events, allowing you to capture surging demand and push targeted promotions across booking channels.
PriceOptimizer monitors your specific market and dynamically adjusts your pricing to optimal rates, keeping you ahead of the competition. Our advanced algorithm considers day of the week, season, and occupancy, updating in real-time to catch last-minute bookings and fill unexpected gaps, all the while keeping you in the driver’s seat with manual overrides and smart pricing rules.
Revenue opportunities
- Capture peak demand for high-profile events
- Secure last-minute bookings with targeted promotions
- Boost revenue and occupancy during low seasons
Feature highlights
- Full market and competitor visibility
- Real-time pricing updates for events
- Smart length-of-stay promotions across all OTAs
2. Protection
Guesty Pay Protect™
Fraud in short-term rentals is evolving, and the loss stretches far beyond the initial theft. Every chargeback costs 2.5 times the original transaction, not to mention penalty fees and account termination risks. With credit networks favoring cardholders and dispute success rates under 30%, early prevention is your best defence against this uphill battle.
Built by hospitality risk experts, Pay Protect automates fraud prevention with an AI trained on travel data to flag sophisticated fraud attempts across direct bookings and OTAs before they drain your time and revenue.
Revenue opportunities
- Cut chargebacks, penalty fees, and termination risks at the source
- Save operational costs on manual reviews and dispute processes
- Keep listings free for legitimate guests
Feature highlights
- Transaction-level blocking
- Flags traditional and friendly fraud
- 3DS security with expert human support

Shield Suite™
It wasn’t enough for us to simply protect your revenue. We wanted to build a coverage suite that fuels earnings while safeguarding your portfolio from all angles. Shield unifies guest screening, damage protection, liability coverage, and travel insurance into one seamless, fully embedded suite you can manage from your Guesty dashboard.
Save hours on lengthy claims and cancellation processes, eliminate deposit disputes, and offer guests comprehensive travel insurance directly in their booking flow while earning commission on every policy. With end-to-end coverage, you can skip the deposit friction and eliminate guest confrontation, protecting not only your properties but every guest relationship.
Revenue opportunities
- Expand listing distribution with less effort and less risk
- Eliminate deposit-related booking hesitation
- Earn passive commission from each sold policy
Feature highlights
- Smart pre-arrival screening
- Simplified, in-platform claim processing
- Travel insurance as an embedded upsell
3. Accounting & Reports
Advanced deposit and trust accounting balance reports
As your portfolio grows, tracking guest deposits and trust funds manually becomes impossible. What worked for 10 properties will fail you at 50, and auditors know exactly where to look for problems. Short-term rental regulations are tightening, and a missed deposit or unclear balance trail can trigger costly violations and operational shutdowns.
Our latest accounting upgrades automatically track trust funds and generate detailed, audit-ready reports. Get reservation-level deposit balances, real-time balance sheets, and instant alerts for any red flags or negative balances. Guesty’s trust accounting helps you ensure compliance with less effort, full oversight, and complete financial clarity from a single dashboard.
Revenue opportunities
- Avoid costly violations, fines, and liability exposure
- Reduce third-party accounting expenses with automated reports
- Expand confidently without hiring compliance specialists
Feature highlights
- Auto-generated snapshots of assets vs liabilities
- View of ownership of funds for any point in time
- Advance deposit balance sheets per reservation for specific dates and timeframes
