We are a sightseeing tour operator company and we have been using Checkfront late 2018. We have explored other options thoroughly and this is still the one we like the most after several years. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Value for money: 5/5 - Customer support: 5/5 - Functionality: 4/5 #### Pros After years of use, my favorite thing about Checkfront is the helpful support team. They always provide detailed, competent and helpful answers. #### Cons Our only real issue is that they seem to be falling behind on channel integration (especially OTA's) compared to other reservation systems. But the functionality and usability of existing features is very good. #### Reasons for choosing Checkfront Overall cost is way lower than any other system we've explored that has this kind of functionality that can integrate into our operations smoothly, without having to make uncomfortable compromises. #### Reasons for switching to Checkfront Price, functionality --- ### Checkfront is the revolution for small/medium businesses, with an outstanding Customer Service ! - Overall rating: 4/5 - Reviewer: Emanuel S. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Leisure, Travel & Tourism - Company size: 2-10 employees - Product usage: Used daily for less than 2 years - Reviewed: July 2021 - Review source details: This review was submitted organically. No incentive was offered Great, because even if not perfect Checkfront helps you improve your business and has the great quality to listen to their customers trying to help everyone with their own demands! this is priceless! #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Value for money: 5/5 - Customer support: 5/5 - Functionality: 4/5 #### Pros The flexibility. You are in the condition to bend the software depending on your demand. And this is great! Another GREAT quality is not the software but relate to that and is the customer service. one of the best I even dealt with. every time you have a doubt they are responsive and always will help you at the best of their abilities to achieve your goal. is this an ENORMOUS quality! #### Cons It's not totally optimized for a business like ours that sells cruise, there are software that give you the possibility to have a graphic visual of the boat with all the cabins. but Checkfront is young and I'm sure that in the future these features will be implemented! #### Reasons for choosing Checkfront because for small businesses software like FareHarbour is absolutely over expensive. #### Vendor response Hi Emanuel, thanks for your feedback. We're glad you're enjoying the flexibility that Checkfront provides and that it has been easy to use thus far. We'll be sure to pass on your feedback on the visual map booking option. Once again, thanks for choosing Checkfront :) Replied January 2022 --- ### Review on behalf of Haliburton Forest - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: Melissa P. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Hospitality - Company size: 51-200 employees - Product usage: Used daily for less than 2 years - Reviewed: December 2019 - Review source details: This review was submitted organically. No incentive was offered Overall we have been very satisfied. We have been able to relieve some of the stress from the office by having online reservations available and allowing for customers to book for themselves. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Value for money: 5/5 - Customer support: 5/5 - Functionality: 4/5 #### Pros Ease of use. There are a few things that should be addressed, but overall ease of use has been fantastic. #### Cons Certain features need some work or need to become available for better functionality. --- ### Great Booking Software - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: Daniel S. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Leisure, Travel & Tourism - Company size: 2-10 employees - Product usage: Used daily for more than 2 years - Reviewed: December 2020 - Review source details: This reviewer was invited by us to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive as a thank you. We run a glamping business and have been using Checkfront for 3 years and it works great. The initial set up was a bit of a slog as we have an complex booking system, but it all works well. The team at CheckFront is always very responsive and helpful - with written suggestions and video walk-throughs for set up issues. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Value for money: 5/5 - Customer support: 5/5 - Functionality: 5/5 #### Pros There is a lot of flexibility in the this product, with many features. Developed by a small Canadian company, that is very responsive to questions and feature requests. Very supportive with assistance for technical issues in my set up. #### Cons With all the features and parameters to set up, there is lots of things that can get out of lineament. Sometimes I will spend hours trying to puzzle out why something that I have set up does not work as it should. The team at CheckFront is always great is helping me get it fixed. #### Reasons for choosing Checkfront Canadian company that could handle everything that we needed it to do - including tent bookings, classes, activities, and special events (plus our currency and taxes). Lots of report and connections to major software tools. #### Reasons for switching to Checkfront Wix is not set up to track the kinds of information that we needed to track in our booking system. --- ### wonderful software! - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: Chalets L. - Industry: Hospitality - Company size: 2-10 employees - Product usage: Used daily for more than 2 years - Reviewed: June 2021 - Review source details: This review was submitted organically. No incentive was offered It is the first sofware that is really easy to use and understand. I know IQWare, Crystal, Otello, FileMaker and another one I don't remember but this one is the best for our needs. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Value for money: 5/5 - Customer support: 5/5 - Functionality: 4/5 #### Pros The help support online. Chat with somebody to help you with a problem is really really good. #### Cons Some issues for dates that we don't want check-in and check-out but finally was fixed lately. #### Reasons for choosing Checkfront The user friendly software, booking online possible and the fees. #### Reasons for switching to Checkfront It was not possible for our clients to book online #### Vendor response Hi there, Thank you for your honest review. We appreciate the time you took for this :) We are happy to hear that our Support team has been helpful and that you were able to move forward with your Check-in/out dates. Thank you, again for choosing Checkfront :) Replied January 2022 --- ### Overall Poor, but with Some Plus Points - Overall rating: 2/5 - Reviewer: André H. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Hospitality - Company size: 51-200 employees - Product usage: Used daily for less than 2 years - Reviewed: October 2019 - Review source details: This reviewer was invited by us to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive as a thank you. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 4/5 - Value for money: 1/5 - Customer support: 1/5 - Functionality: 2/5 #### Pros Checkfront is fairly easy to use and offers you the possibility to set it up for a multitude of product types, such as transportation, restaurant reservations and experiences. The ability for customers to pay directly on an invoice with various payment methods is neat. For a small business, Checkfront does the job. #### Cons Reporting is poor and does not offer many customisation options. Not being able to assign a guide for an experience shows that this software lacks basic functionality. Employee scheduling in such an app is a must. It doesn't have to replace an employee scheduling software, but one should be able to directly assign an employee to an item on the schedule. The widgets on the dashboard didn't really provide relevant information for day-to-day operations. The daily summary list does not offer a great overview on the day's happenings and looks rather messy. Customer support was very average, more often than not. I never really felt that Checkfront took an interest in our business. We were planning on adding more than 10 users and were asked to pay a large sum, yearly and in advance. At this point, we decided it was time to move on. #### Reasons for choosing Checkfront Because FareHarbor was not available in Europe at the time. Checkfront seemed like the best alternative. --- ### Had high hopes:( Hoping it will turn around...They will do it, I KNOW IT! - Overall rating: 3/5 - Reviewer: Jessica C. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Leisure, Travel & Tourism - Company size: 11-50 employees - Product usage: Used daily for less than 6 months - Reviewed: January 2022 - Review source details: This review was submitted organically. No incentive was offered Now is the time for private, and I would guestimate that you're at least 6-months away, if not more, from you guys nailing that. Perhaps your software is much more comprehensive? A photoshop, undiscovered? A Linkedin, now FB rival? IDK. I can only find little bugs that make zero sense (on both sides). A mandatory forced parameter can never be one, and it must be less than zero, or it's NOT enforceable. I have an extensive list for your guys if I can find the time. Great people, GREAT value, guys! I just sincerely wasn't about to pay a setup fee due to the complexities of my business. I'm a HUGE what-if person, and those variables are not there yet. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 2/5 - Value for money: 4/5 - Customer support: 2/5 - Functionality: 3/5 #### Pros The sales folks have been incredible! Very patient, helpful, and lovely. #### Cons You guys are on the right track, but I think that your growth will possibly hurt you. I've been watching your Company for many years and finally convinced one of my customers to switch over from Rezdy. The integration has not been easy, and I've not slept for days, challenged with the tiniest minor bugs that I can't believe no one hasn't mentioned? I hate to say it, but I miss Rezdy. They have not changed much in at least 10-years+. What was so illogical with their software now is not so bad now. They also amped it up a notch. I also miss calling you guys up and working through a problem, impossible to get through, just in between the old and the new. Bad timing, I think? #### Reasons for choosing Checkfront As mentioned, years ago, I was just so grateful to get through to someone and excited for you guys! #### Reasons for switching to Checkfront Hated that they did updates on the weekend in Australia, with ZERO support when things went sideways. Their new costs are not so bad, to be honest. --- ### Simple to use for our customers and has increased online sales - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: Eugene U. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Recreational Facilities and Services - Company size: 11-50 employees - Product usage: Used daily for more than 2 years - Reviewed: February 2022 - Review source details: This review was submitted organically. No incentive was offered Great experience and great customer service. Very helpful when we need trouble shooting. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Value for money: 5/5 - Customer support: 5/5 - Functionality: 5/5 #### Pros The interface is very easy to use and straight forward for our customers. This software has definitely increased and enhanced our online booking procedures. #### Cons The system is very robust and there is definitely a bit of a learning curve on the back end, but once you figure it out it's easier to use. #### Reasons for choosing Checkfront Checkfront was recommended by another business in our similar industry. #### Reasons for switching to Checkfront There were some really good things with Party Center as well, but was missing some specific features for our particular business. #### Vendor response Hi Eugene! Thank you for your review! You are right, we are quite robust and definitely require a learning curve as you've mentioned! We have started to implement more in-app tutorials for new accounts to hopefully help with this in the future!

Excellent. Easy to use and customize. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Value for money: 5/5 - Customer support: 5/5 - Functionality: 5/5 #### Pros Being able to adapt for our individual needs #### Cons Our pricing plan is excellent with Checkfront. But I recently received notice it was going to increase significantly. This is very disappointing. If we utilized of the abilities of the program I would pay more but we use a very minimal amount as I do most work in house. The program is great though. #### Reasons for choosing Checkfront Seemed easier and less bells and whistles that I really didn’t need. #### Vendor response Thank you for sharing your review with us, Monique!

Replied August 2023 --- ### Best small-medium hotel booking system I've come across... - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: Jeremy F. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Hospitality - Company size: 11-50 employees - Product usage: Used daily for more than 2 years - Reviewed: December 2019 - Review source details: This review was submitted organically. No incentive was offered Bookings for different room types, transport and activities is made easy through using Checkfront. I dont have to worry about double bookings and I know exactly who's coming in and out of my resort, even when I'm not there. My staff find it easy to use and we are able to amend things quickly and easily. For the customer it's also very clear to book what they are looking for. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Value for money: 5/5 - Customer support: 5/5 - Functionality: 4/5 #### Pros Ease of navigation and clear information layout especially on a laptop. #### Cons Sometimes find a few features a little tricky to get my head around on my own but that doesnt matter because the customer support is amazing and they always find a solution. #### Reasons for choosing Checkfront Communication with Checkfront was faster and more clear so I tried it first. Was so satisfied I didnt have to shop around. #### Vendor response Hey Jeremy, thanks for your positive feedback!
