2 years in and still happy

It does what it says on the tin well and is not full of bloat. Simple, cost effective and good support. Pros: Easy of use, reactive human support when you need it. Cons: Its missing a multi room system as you would need for hotels. So with channels like booking.com if a property is busy but you have another nearby (or on the same site) it wont show up as an alternative. Also a simple CRM (customer db) would be useful. Using our own domain name for system emails (but without buying the website package) would be nice also.

caravan vacation rentals

Fairly happy, they generally resolve issues quickly. Pros: Easy to use as the owner administrator, I can update it as often as I want. I am able to use offers discouts which are great for my regular guests. Cons: On the entry page, It does not allow for a simple say 2 line description of the business, thus I put that in the communication tab but not sure guests read that.Calandar view dows not show notes so I still use my Airbnb channel calandar to put quick view notes for each booking eg how many people, beds needed, early or late arrival etc.

A Treasure Find!

Our experience has been a welcome breath of fresh air in comparison with other software suppliers. And we've enlisted the work of quite a few. The team has an honest, open approach and is particularly adept at understanding and addressing operator needs. Of particular valuable now, in an industry struggling to cope with the destruction caused by the Covid pandemic. Customer communication and support has been available every step of the journey. The service and software performance top rated. Pros: In a nutshell, it does everything it claims on the tin! Simply executed in a way that can be easily understood and managed without having a technical degree. It handles the booking basics well and has developed 'add ons', totally in tune with the need of operators in the holiday rental sector. The focus is on functionality that can be easily implemented, rather than developing ' nice to have gadgets" that are too complex and peripheral to the core task. The software has grown functionality in tune with sector evolvement and customer needs. A keen focus on value for money. I particularly appreciate the limited use of complex jargon that some use to enshrine their software as a "dark art" to justify costs. It's not. The team's open problem-solving capability and approach is very 'can do'. Cons: At the start, I had to use 2 different applications of the software to add rates for some of our rental properties. This was due to the challenging seasonal rates system set by one large villa owner. Now, however, all functionality is aligned on one platform that has many relevant additions for the many demands of different operators in various hospitality sectors. The training offered was limited to begin but this has been addressed. Bookster has an excellent chat system that is on hand and of real assistance right at the time you need it. This has helped us understand how we can overcome various challenges relevant to us and use the software to our optimum advantage.

The best Rental booking software I have ever used

Bookster have a very professional team, they make you feel part of a family. We joined over 2 years ago and it has never broken down or not done what it is supposed to. The start up process was made very easy - also the estimate to set it up and create our website was very accurate. They are very proactive and give excellent support and online seminars to keep everybody up to date the the vacation rental business. The day to day use has really changed my life - we are quite a small company but have managed to grow as the time we save using Bookster means we can take on more properties. Pros: Ease of use - offering a professional platform for both guests and users. For example the ability do almost all tasks on a mobile while out and about - therefore it enables you to maximise the bookings of offer. Cons: I'm struggling to answer this question - I love it all,
