2 years in and still happy

5,0 vor 2 Jahren

Kommentare: It does what it says on the tin well and is not full of bloat. Simple, cost effective and good support.

Vorteile:

Easy of use, reactive human support when you need it.

Nachteile:

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.

A Treasure Find!

5,0 vor 4 Jahren

Kommentare: 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.

Vorteile:

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'.

Nachteile:

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.

Interesting Concept

3,0 vor 2 Monaten Neu

Vorteile:

The idea of integrating room bookings into your website seems interesting and flexible for those wishing to establish a website dedicated to inviting visitors to reserve rooms for a time period. I also noticed that the pricing of bookster's services is cheap, offering 3 options, lite, pro and max, along with a free trial. The also offer a free version. The different options have different perks to them, with max being the best value option. You also have the option to add a multitude of widgets to make your site appealing to visitors, such as adding YouTube videos and payments forms.

Nachteile:

While the pricing is fair, I can't help but wonder why someone would prefer to use this over going directly to a service website and booking from there. It may also cause scepticism amongst visitors whether they should book from the site hosting these services, other go directly to a verified room service site, like AirBnB.

Kommentare: Fairly happy, they generally resolve issues quickly.

Vorteile:

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.

Nachteile:

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.

The best Rental booking software I have ever used

5,0 vor 4 Jahren

Kommentare: 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.

Vorteile:

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.

Nachteile:

I'm struggling to answer this question - I love it all,

Fantastic company

5,0 vor 9 Jahren

Kommentare: We are holiday letting company based in East Lothian and have found that using this software has completely changed the running of our business, making holiday bookings simple, no more double bookings. The support team are just amazing and react very quickly

Vorteile:

Gosh so many things. I think the automated email reminders sent to clients letting them know that their balance payment is due. This tracking system saves us so much time, the system is set to take online payments and alerts us is payments have not been made in time. The live calendars enable holiday guests to book 24 hours a day and so our bookings have increased since taking on this system

Nachteile:

The only slight problem is that the software does not link both ways with Holiday Lettings and Trip Advisor.

Perfect Solution for 1 Property, Great Support

5,0 vor 8 Jahren

Kommentare: The two selling points of this software to me are the affordability for a 1 property rental. I can't afford to pay like some of the more sophisticated options out there. #2 is it does everything I need it to do.
My favorite feature is the Booking.com integration where Ino longer have to chase down renters from Booking.com to pay. Bookster makes it happen automatically. I think us renters all have the same feelings toward Booking.com I hate their system. Well, good news, Bookster removes that PAIN.
It does everything I need it to do,
- availability calender and capability to book directly from my site
- Manage bookings and accept payments through my Stripe account (totally painless)
- Manage damage deposits completely automatically with full customization
- I can produce a professional image to my clients with their email service
- I can also take phone/organic orders and set them up myself in Bookster
Things it needs:
- Ability to connect multiple iCal calendars. One is not enough
- Ability to edit the theme of the calendar plugin so we can make it match our website better
- Ability to edit the payment pages by more than just adding our logo, again, to mathc our website (Needs background and color editting capability. Image BG's would be awesome)
- The whole software should be reworked a bit onlayout and functionality of buttons and pages. It is a bit confusing, and there is room for improvement on a CLEAN DASHBOARD layout.
Over all, I am thrilled with Bookster. Their support is amazing. I live in two different time zones (7 hrs apart) and no matter what time or day, 80% of time they respond to emails, messages instantly. And for sure within 8 hrs the other 20% of time. And you get a super helpful, capable response, with a personal touch.

Vorteile:

Their personable helpful support, capability of the software, and the channel integration with Booking.com

Nachteile:

The dashboard layout and the inability to edit the calendar plugin for my website

Antwort von Bookster

vor 8 Jahren

Thank you very much for the great review and excellent feedback! All fair points. With our most recent update, we now support multiple iCal feeds! They are listed under the Channel button. If the OTA / website that you are on does not show up on the list, let us know and we can add them.

Mostly satisfactory

4,0 vor 7 Jahren

Vorteile:

I like that it combines a booking calendar with Stripe payments, and that the calendar import of availability from other channels is frequent, polling every few minutes, which reduces the risk of double booking. The user interface is mostly good, although some options are hard to find.

Nachteile:

The calendar export for availability is flawed - Bookster exports all bookings, including those imported from other channels. So when Bookster calendar ICS is re-imported to Homeaway, Airbnb, Tripadvisor those export-and -re-imports show up as conflicts. I can ignore those warnings, but I would rather not have them at all. Those others providers similarly offer calendar import and export, but export only their own bookings. For Bookster, this does not appear to be a difficult thing to fix - I say that because all the others do it. I did raise this issue with customer support; the response was that I need to set Bookster up as the master booking system, transfer bookings manually and not have the import-export loop. Frankly, that's a bit arrogant - in this game, Bookster is not the Daddy.

Antwort von Bookster

vor 7 Jahren

Hi Gordon, Thanks for your great review, we really do appreciate it. There is a form of the iCal URL that would mean only passing blocks and bookings created in Bookster out to the channels. Not a complete fix but might work better for you. I will drop you an email explaining it further. Robin

Bookster for Self-Catering House

5,0 vor 8 Jahren

Kommentare: We were primarily looking for a Property Management System to integrate with Visit Scotland - after some research we chose Bookster based the price and professional look. In setting up the website, I have been so impressed with the level of customer service. Every question I ask, no matter how small is answered, and though some of the features are not able to be changed (it is a set website template, not a self-designed one after all), I feel like the Bookster team does take my feedback into account. It does take some getting used to - mostly figuring out what heading in the back end corresponds with each part of the website that customers see, but we are excited to be taking online bookings and show availability on our website and on Visit Scotland!

Vorteile:

The customer service is exceptional, and the value for money is top notch. Beyond that, it does everything advertised, which is why we chose it after all!

Nachteile:

Some of the small features are fixed in the website template. That being said, it is expected unless you are paying to completely design your own website. When I mention specific features I want to modify to the customer service team, I am often tell that my feedback is being passed onto the developers, so I fully expect this software to only improve.

Excellent channel manager for handling apartment bookings. Fantastic support provided by Robin.

Vorteile:

I have never used a channel manager before, but Robin gave me a demo and showed me what Bookster could do to make running our apartment easier, and I am delighted to say that once set up the software handles the pricing and availability pushing out to various channels. I'm still in the process of setting up with the various channels but this take the pressure away from having double bookings !

Nachteile:

I think a little more flexibility would be great but for 99% of users the interface and options provided are as required.

Thank you very much Helen, really glad Bookster is helping with your holiday rental. We deliberately lock down the emails so that guests have a clear route into the Guest Area (for making payments and getting booking info) but take your point on linking out from there - something to take a look at.
