No immediate count of occupancy in the calendar. No revenue management options.

Once you drop the reservation on a wrong date, you want to check, and dates inside the detail have changed!!!! without alerting anything. So that could be a super mess.

Great tool to help you to organize your bookings. L recommend it for sure.

Customer service is great and it’s pretty easy to use. For the price it’s worthwhile.

We have been working with Bananadesk for the last 2 years and we are very happy. Is the best way to organize our hostel.

Because overbooking might be the main problem among channels. I could solve this by using bananadesk website.

Very simple, easy to to use, fast for trainning.

Is easy to use, to install and to learn. It basically do all the jobs and gives us the freedom to spend less time in front a computer.

Great! good service and always helpful. The product is easy to understand.

It's very easy to use and intituitive, also the information is very well organized and the colors are very helpful to understand it all.

The best, most user-friendly PMS with great customer service.

And whenever I need it, the support team is there to help me.

The flexible option for seasonal properties helps to make this very cost effective.

Fantastic software for Hostel business management.

There is no calendar history of what we changed on the calendar and we cannot come back if you did a mistake. It's possible to ask to Bananadesk team but it's not that simple.

You can only move one bed at the time, which is time wasting when you need to move a whole room.

Also the price is good, not too expensive like others.

I really like the interface of the platform and, above all, it is very easy to use, making everything clearly visible.

The movements i need to make are slow. If you make an error it doesn't prevent it.

It cost more time and it makes the ppl in our team annoyed. Especially if we have a lot of checkins at the same time.

Easy to use, easy to learn, simple and effective.

Banana provides an amazing way to visualize all the management of your hotel, very intuitive and brings all what happens in a business such as this one into a clear visual platform.

It is a super safe, friendly, online software, and has online support to help you in everything you need. I really recommend it because my experience was excellent.

The product has a gazillion different features and loves to expand its offering into new industries. They give you access to everything via a robust API and good reporting.

As an enduser I appreciate a clean and easy interface. Easy payments and bookings and canceling.

My overall experience with this app is great. It’s is very user friendly.

I really like the scheduling functionality, it's exceptionally intuitive and really helps me streamline organization.

Besides the horrible service they have not kept up with technology.

This experience may also be attributed to trying to schedule massages where schedule management is difficult.

It's disappointing on the whole, because I see it as a decent booking system with potential, if they kept up with the times and listened more to their users.

Integration with existing platforms was a little difficult, and getting others to try is has been hard as well.

The company is great, the people are helpful. The software is overpriced and clunky.

The inbuilt marketing functions are absolutely dire and Mindbody doesn't integrate with anything (it's not even on Zapier) so you'll struggle to build a great marketing machine using it.

I cut my losses and canceled the subscription very early after realizing how little help it was in my area.

I mainly used this through my iPad and there were some minor issues where it didn’t seem compatible with the iPad and I would have to navigate the site in a an odd way.

The interface was so old-school, and the customer service was absolutely terrible.

Mindbody is missing several key features such as double-booking options and the option for memberships is pretty difficult to use. MBO is very hard to train new people in using.

Very good experience with Mindbody, it helps me stay in shape and I love all dance classes. It always worked very well for me on my pc, for now I did not use it on another device.

My experience was $500 per month at two locations of nigthmares, frustration, and apologies for clients.

It's a great app when you gym has this kind app for the booking of their gym's class.

The only thing I don't like about this software is how hard it is to find all of your different studios' schedules.

Their staff team is also super helpful and they have many seminars and resources to help build your business.

This software is easy to install and has great customer support if you have questions. It simplifies booking appointments, adding inventory, taking payments and scheduling.

I haven't found any features that I don't like about Mindbody.

Absolutely love Mindbody and how easy they've made scheduling. I love that I can purchase class credits right from their site and I know what experience I am getting each time I log in.

Great for automation for business, also a good tool for user.

Generally I was very pleased in using this product. I haven't needed to use it in a little while.

I like the ease of use, and they were very supportive at start up and roll out.

It is a beautiful interface with lovely pictures and colors.

Each time we call up and try to speak with somebody to help us through something else that is not working correctly, we are given different information that causes more and more problems.

I have had trouble in the past managing my accounts. Since I need different logins for the studios that I visit, it can get a bit tricky.

It was great that our trainer was able to meet with us weekly to help us learn the system.

Really good customer service. Will give you discounts to get you to sign up.

It was the worst experience, afther that company, I had hired another that did the programming in 2 days and I was using it in 3 days at the 50% of the cost.

I took mine via zoom and it was very easy to enter and participate. This is inexpensive (even free if you choose) and you get to stay fit while having some fun.
