General Manager Generally Very Satisfied with NightsBridge
The guest house has been using NightsBridge for a long time now. I have only been using it for a year - from when I joined as manager. So far I have seen the update to the latest version - which the team handled well and again, customer support was very helpful when some features had moved or were difficult to understand. I took part in one of the workshops in the area last year and I realised that it's not just a programme, they have created a community as well. They take care of their customers and that makes it worth every cent.
PROSAs the manager of a guesthouse, I really appreciate NightsBridge's efficiency. It's easy to use on the surface, but also has many tools to take advantage of if you want to delve deeper - to help the process of reporting, invoicing, and communicating with guests. The financial management is great. The customer support is unmatched.
CONSI would like to see a visual on the calendar when I apply a close-out for a room. I would also appreciate it if I could edit payments for at least a few minutes or hours after I have entered them on a specific account. On occasion I make an error when listing the date or type of payment and when I open it again - even if immediately - it becomes uneditable. Then having to apply a "mistake" payment on the account to remove that payment just makes the accounting very messy. I understand the importance of freezing the information but if there could be a way to make a 5 minute window, that would help very much.
Vendor Response
Hi Jemma We appreciate your feedback; we are excited to see that you're enjoying so many of our features and our customer support, and we're always looking for innovative ways to improve our product. For room-type closeouts, you can get a visual of those by toggling the view on your BridgeIT calendar to Room Type. We're glad to have you as part of our community!

Nightsbridge is our oxygen
I would not be able to run a successful business if it was not for NB. Their customer services are also outstanding. I would highly recommend to anyone in the industry.
PROSNB gives us the opportunity to be "out there" . Always up to date on our rates and service description. With all the on-line sites out in the world, it is impossible to go an update each of them individually in a short space of time. Nightsbridge gives us the opportunity to make changes on the go and we are assured that it the same on all the sites.We have a instant overview on how or reservations are looking for the day/week/Month/Year and compare to previous years. Lots of analytics helps us to work on our services and rates on a daily basis.The fact that you can ad restrictions such as minimum stays, arrival and departure requirements gives us the opportunity to run our business the way we wish to.
CONSThere is nothing not to like about NB but space for a few additional functions:Please add a "reminder" function for individual bookings. What we would like to do is place a reminder for ourselves if we need to take action on a guest booking for example " final payment 7 days prior" and then we get a reminder 7 days prior to process payment for [sensitive content hidden]. Or if we need to place an order for flowers/cakes etc.A function to show what amount guests got as a discount (difference between rack rate and rate paid)A function to show the amount for commission paid.It would be nice if the reservation can show the guests nationality.A lot of people have different phone numbers to whatsapp numbers , include d line for phone number and Whatsapp number
Vendor Response
Hi Annelise Thank you very much for your detailed feedback -- we love hearing about our clients' full experience using our software! We can assist with many of the additional functions you're looking for -- please get in touch with our Support Ninjas and they will give you their suggestions.

NightsBridge for apartments
Low cost for small establishment is fine. Bigger size establishments would need a better system
PROSEase of use, none complicated. Connects to most local agents in South Africa
CONSRestriction on reporting Cannot connect multiple rate codes to agents Very low security for users
Reason for choosing NightsBridge
We use both NightsBridge and SiteMinder. SiteMinder is our main channel manager NightsBridge is only used for smaller establishments
Vendor Response
Hi Gina We're glad to hear that you're finding NightsBridge easy to use, and enjoying the large number of local connections we have. We'd suggest looking at the user logins on your account, where you can set different security levels for different users. We appreciate your feedback about the reports and rate codes - we're always looking at ways to improve our offering!

Guesthouse running made easy
Nightsbridge system saves me time, is mobile, the cell app works during load sheddings and goes a long way to prevent any double bookings and being allowed to instandly send quotes and invoices speeds up our service which brings in more clients.
PROSThe new updated cloud version of Nightsbridge has taken into account many of the small time consuming hassles that crop up daily. So bookings, booking changes, mulit room bookings, invalid credit card , on line registration, reporting, invoicing, extras have all become touch of the button options with some good automated items. The end of month booking reports are also a great tool for bookkeeping and tracking payments and referral commisions. Once automated welcome and info packs are added it will be hard to fault this system for making day to day operations simply and obvius. The back up cient support is also superb and I have never called and not received patient guidance until the problem has been resolved.
CONSAutomated and cutomisable Welcome letters, info packs and Thank you for staying and requests for reviews would be the next big time saver. Automated Resending of on line check in if it is not completed before check in. Next to room bookings bookings for appointment type offerings, like parking, spa treatments or pottery classes - they should be customisable - at the momment I have added the parking as a room, its works as keeps track of the bays and which guest has booked but it messes with the analytics and room occupany rates.
Vendor Response
Hi Gail Thank you for your detailed review -- it sounds like our software is helping to simplify your life and help you do better business online. We will have more upgrades rolling out in the future and we hope you will enjoy them!

Wish I was valued.
The software does what it says.
PROSEasy integration. It's great for records and reports, thereby analytics.
CONSAfter contacting Nightsbridge repetitively about the misuse of Nightsbridge by a booking channel - the response is dismissive. In addition, suggestions are also dismissed - I only tried once. Every upgrade loses a function, ie drop down menu for payment source, and now my invoice template is gone. I list 2 establishments with Nightsbridge, and am about to add a third. One day, when I'm not so busy, I will look into what other options are out there. Initially, I felt valued and the service was EXCELLENT. Since lockdown, and home-based consultants, things have changed.
Vendor Response
Hi Mandi We appreciate your review; we are really disappointed to hear about your experiences -- we only want to offer the best service to our properties. We would like to have one of our Support Ninjas get in touch with you to talk about your suggestions and the features that have changed for you -- we value your feedback.

Nightsbridge Review
Very good
PROSThe Software is easy to use a very user friendly all nightsbridge staff are so helpful
CONSThe accounting system needs improving, we have considered changing from nightsbridge to get better accounting the system doesn't follow through with one reference it uses a few different ones on different reports, I try to use the booking ID but on some reports you have to use the account ID, so its a few too many references when cross checking payments, the payment report would also be great if it would show names of the booking and dates etc so if there is confusion we dont have to open the entire reservation.
Reason for choosing NightsBridge
Semper works with nights bridge though but they will only be the channel manager not your daily booking calendar, this was purely for accounting info and the fact you can attach paperwork to the reservation i.e travel agent vouchers - we are still considering using semper
Vendor Response
Hi Kim Thank you for your review; we're glad to see that you've found NightsBridge easy to use and that our staff have helped you along the way. We've made a lot of improvements to our accounting system and we hope that it's been working well for you.

Thrilled To Use Nightsbridge
EXCELLENT customer care, always friendly, helpful staff on call to assist when needed. I love th call back feature which is a plus. I have enjoyed Nightsbridge and there gatherings, where we learn so much and its always well organised. I am a very happy customer
CONSI would like a option to capture or for Guests to upload a photo of their ID with the bookings and to have an arrival time slot that has to be filled in on booking as mandatory for the booking to be createdIf a room is changed to another room i think it should keep its settings ie: bed & breakfast might change to manual rates or something else it gets confusing

Best Channel Manager for Guest houses/Hotels/Hospitality Industry
I love NightsBridge and have had no issues using it.
PROSNigtsBridge is very easy to use and whatever you need is easy to find and therefore you do not waste time trying to figure how to use it. Integration with our existing business process was easy and love that everything is linked to NightsBridge so I do not need to go into all the other websites Extranets unless I really have to. I check everything and do everything on Nightsbridge and am extremely happy with the product. I have used NightsBridge for 8 years and have recommended the product to people in the hospitality industry.
CONSI have had no issues with NightsBridge in the 8 years of using it, very happy with NightsBridge.

Excellent CMS
Best move I ever made, and since never looked back!
PROSReal time booking system, no surprise. Very user friendly
CONSLately, the last implementations are too rigid in the sense that the establishment or end user can't add or remove anything, it's a set template. Like I've been advocating numerous times:1/ new implements should be introduced to end users first to get their feedback,2/ all templates must be changeable by the owner/end user,
Reason for choosing NightsBridge
It was recommended by a friend of mine
Reasons for switching to NightsBridge
This was used by the previous owners, and we slowly but surely changed everything they did or used as it was either obsolete or useless. ;-)

A Lifesaver Product
All my problems! Would not be able to run a smooth working entity without Nightsbridge
PROSIt is a one-stop facility that covers my whole business. I can book and unbook on my Calander, change rooms and rates, put on promotions, basically do everything I need to keep everything 100%
CONSAs I do not have much time on hand, it sometimes takes a while to go through a stack of new information.
Vendor Response
Hi Ria -- if the only issue is not being able to keep up with the new features then that's still a win for us! We try to stagger new roll-outs and space out communications for this exact reason. But we understand that change sometimes happens at a very quick pace. Please keep in mind that you can schedule refresher training with our team at any stage, and that our list of tutorials cover each part of the system in depth.
