Best for a Croatian-made booking system with a channel manager
Rentlio is a booking system with a channel manager and a direct booking engine, made in Croatia. Rentlio One is cheap at about 10 euros a unit a month, but there's a 2% fee on direct bookings, no trial, and the bigger editions show no price.
Who Rentlio is for
- Fits if you run a few units in Europe and want a booking system and channel manager in one
- Works for hosts who want direct bookings on their own site
Who Rentlio is not for
- Skip it if you want a trial first, because none is listed
- Pricey if most of your bookings come direct, since there's a 2% fee on each
- Watch out: prices are in euros and exclude VAT
- Too light for a hotel or a big portfolio unless you book a meeting for a quote
- Watch out: the English pricing page still has a few untranslated words
Why Rentlio gets a 2.0
Five grades, each with its reason. The GPA is their average: an A is 4 points, an F is none.
- BValue for money10 euros a unit a month plus 2% of direct bookings, excluding VAT. That's inside the cheaper quarter for one home, but a small portfolio multiplies it per unit.
- FFree plan and trialNo free plan and no trial are on record in the listing, so there is nothing to try before paying.
- CFeaturesChannel manager, booking engine, guest document scanning and an API. The listing flags that the site is written for the Croatian market first, and the bigger editions are sold by meeting.
- CEase of useNo store rating on record. Linking channels and setting up units comes first.
- BPlatforms and integrationsWeb, iPhone and Android apps, with Booking.com, Airbnb and Expedia links and an open API.

Keep Rentlio, or make your own?
Keep it
To replace Rentlio you would be making two-way connections to Airbnb, Booking.com and Vrbo. That is not a weekend's work, with an AI app builder or without one.
That makes this kind of software worth paying for, not this one in particular: 17 of the 29 other vacation rental tools grade higher. It costs $134.06 a year.
What you could make
- Reports: an app builder makes this well.
What you could not
- Two-way connections to Airbnb, Booking.com and Vrbo.
- Connections to other products, each kept working as those products change.
- A real app for iOS and Android. Something home-made would be a web page.
What this rests on. Rentlio’s listing: what it does, where it runs, what it plugs into and what it costs. It is a judgement about the kind of software this is. We have not built a replacement for it, and making your own means looking after it too. How we decide, and every tool’s verdict.
