We are excited to announce our Partnership with Nofie as a new first-class book-direct channel partner.

About Nofie

Nofie is the vacation rental marketplace that puts guests and hosts back in the center of the travel experience by empowering them with booking options. When you list your property on Nofie, you are able to showcase all your booking options, including your direct booking site as well as any third-party platforms you're listed on. After making the connection between guest and host, Nofie steps aside. The best part? Nofie charges no fees.

Features

  • Unified search includes listings from direct booking sites and major booking platforms.
  • Browse transparently across multiple booking sites to make sure you're getting the best fit in accommodation & pricing.
  • Links guests directly to your hosted website for a more personal experience.
  • Completely self service, no need to call or reach out to support.
  • Nofie is completely FREE!

Pricing

Nofie charges no fees.

Is Nofie just US focussed?

Nofie does appear to be largely US at present.

Generally, when you establish a new connection it's a good idea to wait overnight to see if it finished syncing.  If it does not, please reach out to the Helpdesk so we can investigate.

Interesting platform and concept, but I'm curious where they are getting their data. My Nofie sync shows our average nightly rate as the MAX PRICE I have set in PriceLabs ... nowhere near the average nightly rate. YIKES! If I were a Nofie user and saw that rate as the average, I'd probably pass on by. My AirBnB and VRBO links show no data, but just links to those respective listings. (And as an aside, VRBO shows an average nightly rate of $188 and AirBnB shows $256 in their respective OTAs ... I'm guessing based on nights actually booked in the OTA? Not sure how they are calculating average nightly rate respectively.) But I'd want the true fact to show in Nofie that overall a direct booking is a better bottom line choice with the absence of the booking fees from the OTAs. Hmm.

I gave it 24 hours and this is what shows. Availability doesn't seem to connect to anything ... it just changes the buttons to "Check Availability" and the prospective guest will have to put in dates again wherever you're linking to (direct booking site or OTA site). No ratings coming through from any of the sites. To clarify, the link I put in for AirBnB and VRBO is the direct link from the OTA ... not something coming out from OwnerRez, right?

2 out of 3 of my listings synced. I cannot figure out why the third one will not.

I'm not listed with either AirBnb or VRBO. I just manage my own website and have one paid listing site that I use. I imported my listing following the instructions laid out here on OR. My listing imported via my website address but now what? I cannot see any photos or info and the price per night is incorrect. How do we update our Nofie listing?

It shows very high average nightly rate, I do not even have such a rate for any nights in my listing. Definitely not an average

Does anyone know what the benefit to Nofie is? How are they making money?

Good question... when something is free, you are the product... so it would be nice to understand the model before investing time in the tool.

Hi Rob, did you follow the rest of the steps after turning it on in OwnerRez?  If you don't know what I mean, go back to the Nofie integration in OwnerRez, drill in, and look at the Instructions tab. It will tell you where to go next and what to do on the Nofie side.

If you have already done these steps, contact Nofie by going to their website and clicking on the Need help? floating bubble bottom right.

Alexander, I sent you an email on July 3.  Need a little more info from you to look into why they didn't upload.  Will resend the email this morning.

Donaven B, Gus and Lindsay, Nofie is funded by an Engineering tech firm and is also building affiliate partnerships with other tech companies in the vacation rental space. We are excited for the OwnerRez integration, they have been strong advocates for Nofie and we just love OwnerRez.  Would love to have your upload your listings on Nofie and we'll be driving marketing dollars to guests in the upcoming weeks.

I reached out to them (Nofie) via their website contact link but have not heard back in over a week.  Being able to communicate with a third party booking platform is important to me when/if questions arise I would like to understand the platform a little more as well and what their plans are as they grow.

Ownerez during my first three years has been incredibly helpful and responsive to all of my inquiries.  I hope that Nofie will be able to provide the same level of service.  Possibly Ownerez can fill in the blanks for us as hosts to feel a little more comfortable utilizing the platform and sharing our information with them.

I had inquired via Facebook messenger and had several exchanges with them about their model.  They responded to me there in about 6 hours.  I hope that helps.

Hi Lamar, my apologies that you didn't hear back from us here at Nofie.  We definitely strived to respond quickly.  However, I can't see a comment from you, you can email me directly at go@nofie.com and our staff can help you out.

Nofie is working closely with OwnerRez to address the higher nightly rate issue.  In the meantime we are working on a quick fix where hosts can update their nightly rate manually.  We appreciate your patience as we work through this bug.
