## Reviews

### "Fantastic company" — 5.0/5

> **Gillian** | *12 July 2016* | Real Estate | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: 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
> 
> **Cons**: The only slight problem is that the software does not link both ways with Holiday Lettings and Trip Advisor.
> 
> 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

### "A complete package for holiday lets with excellent help and training" — 5.0/5

> **zoa** | *27 September 2022* | Hospitality | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: It is easy to use and the automation saves me so much time
> 
> **Cons**: nothing, I like everything about it as it have saved me time.
> 
> All the people at Bookster are so helpful and they are available immediately for queries you have

-----

### "The support offered by Bookster has been first class" — 2.0/5

> **Frank** | *6 July 2018*
> 
> **Pros**: I like the fact that it's fairly easy to use once you get the hang of it and that the technical support is quick to react to a request fir assistance.
> 
> **Cons**: I least like its limited linkage to the other main OTAs such as AirBnB, HomeAway etc compared to other channel managers

### "Perfect Solution for 1 Property, Great Support" — 5.0/5

> **Weston** | *23 February 2017* | Hospitality | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: Their personable helpful support, capability of the software, and the channel integration with Booking.com
> 
> **Cons**: The dashboard layout and the inability to edit the calendar plugin for my website
> 
> 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. &#13;&#10;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. &#13;&#10;It does everything I need it to do,&#13;&#10; - availability calender and capability to book directly from my site&#13;&#10; - Manage bookings and accept payments through my Stripe account (totally painless) &#13;&#10; - Manage damage deposits completely automatically with full customization&#13;&#10; - I can produce a professional image to my clients with their email service&#13;&#10; - I can also take phone/organic orders and set them up myself in Bookster&#13;&#10;&#13;&#10;Things it needs:&#13;&#10;- Ability to connect multiple iCal calendars. One is not enough&#13;&#10;- Ability to edit the theme of the calendar plugin so we can make it match our website better&#13;&#10;- 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)&#13;&#10;- 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.&#13;&#10;&#13;&#10;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.

### "Mostly satisfactory" — 4.0/5

> **Gordon** | *18 May 2018*
> 
> **Pros**: 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.
> 
> **Cons**: 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.&#10;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.
