Easy of use, nice backoffice interface, easy web integration, the best rental solution out there.

Inability to handle multiple currencies. Limitation on number of photos.

Checkfront is a overall good Booking System. It has a superior value for money and is good for anyone who requires a entry level system.

If I restrict this access it also restricts the reports they need to cash out at days end. I would consider switching off of CF if I was made an offer by a similar company who offers this feature.

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.

Fantastic Customer Care and that is the best part of it. We have been successfully using it for over 4 years with almost none problems.

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.

Paying solutions are spotless and easy to use.

There are a few things that should be addressed, but overall ease of use has been fantastic.

It can be hard to navigate at first, and there is no phone support for the basic plan which can be tough if you are someone who prefers live conversation vs email.

It can be customized to meet the needs of almost any industry. The customer support offered by Checkfront is amazing, and they were integral to the deployment of their software on our website.

Responsive product development team, easy to use, clean sexy interface, helps our business thrive.

Ease of use is the best thing about it with integration pretty good.

I decided to say with checkfront, because their team is very helpful, there is a community and a forum to get inspired, to get help if you are a beginner in the tourism industry.

I love the fact that it can calculate levies automatically, the discount vouchers etc. Also like the extra's like the website.

Once it's done, you feel free to do what you do best as an entrepreneur - promote your business and take care of your customers.

Easy to set up and and track inventory and daily availability. This helps me integrate with my in house walkins to make sure I don't over book.

You keep sitting and waiting and nothing happens. That’s awful and waste of time.

Very well thought out and feature rich to accommodate the quirks of your business with good booking calendar and discount options. The support is also great and response times are less than a day.

The team at CheckFront is always very responsive and helpful - with written suggestions and video walk-throughs for set up issues.

Great ability to have pickable calendars and tour products on our website and good workflow to sales.

I really like the website integration portion. Very easy to use and easy to train other employees on.

Lack of commissionable rate pricing for travel trade. Lack of proper accounting audit trail.

The support help is phenomenal and in the same time zone. They are always pleasant and quick.

Great company, excellent customer service, would recommend it to any tour company. Ease of use with free integrated Add-ons.

Inexpensive; good for basic day-tours; great payment integration including refunds. We liked the automated email reminders.

I especially appreciate the flexibility I have when setting up inventory items. Perhaps more important is the quality of support you provide.

It can be a little intimidating making changes to our system, adding items or item events.

We love it and may change our entire booking system over to it.

It is frustrated to deal with problems when there is no timeline attached as to when the problem will be solved.

Super user friendly and intuitive. It has made training much easier.

It’s easy to handle and very helpful. Customer service it’s the best, they always help you and teach new techniques to improve.

Easy integration with other systems, great reporting features, and continued improvement.

It is incredibly frustrating to not be able to call someone in an urgent situation.

I love the ease of use with Cloudbeds. Everything is conveniently located and simple to see.

Fantastic customer support (usual queries resolved in less than an hour). Lot of useful reports and features like housekeeping and cash draw.

It´s great that you can choose which add-ons you want and only pay for what you need. This is a great concept.

Cloudbeds has streamlined every aspect of my operation and my guests feel it. Overall I am thrilled with my Cloudbeds experience.

Very easy to use and navigate through. Reservation and calendar view / adjustments are very user friendly.

No possibility of setting up any policies - you can only add text. No group functionality and no proper tax set-up.

That you can add code to customize your booking platform. Also, the customer service was very helpful and responsive.

Easy to use, some features like the search function where you can search for a name or any reservation number, both direct and 3rd party, are good.

Easy to use PMS, nice design. Automated payment processing work great.

Nice features and pricing, but needs better support.

Many integrations corresponding to our needs. The person who introduced us the software has great knowledge about the system, but even more important about the business we do.

The Booking Engine - not flexible enough. PIE - trialled but the rate shopper took the wrong rates, not BAR so rate shopping comparison was useless to us.

Easy to manage, good overview, easy to adjust rates.

Software Is great, customer service is beyond excellent, the interface is user friendly.

The fact that is cloud based made it easy to access. Also all the features and integrations with other software makes it a great tool for any hotel or hospitality property.

A few missing features in my opinion, such as a mobile app with cc processing for checking/out.

Best value we have ever seen which means a great help for small business owners like Wilsons Bed and Breakfast.

Change this, it serves no purpose, but to aggravate the Innkeepers. The accounting end is complicated, no logical process, typical Geek mentality and no common sense.

User friendly, easy to navigate and understand, tutorials for each window, customization, easy to connect with OTAs, that you can use it on your phone or ipad.

The seamless integration with Expedia and Booking.com is wonderful, along with our credit card merchant.

No direct phone consultation to help with start up problems, and to set up transfer. Credit card data was not transferred from Rezovation, misrepresentation from the start.

Cloudbeds is easy to install, customise, and use. Support is absolutely amazing.

Fully Cloudbased software with a good price , esay to use.

I think that the customer service team is very nice and very helpful. So I can implement the cloudbeds to my hotel.

I was utterly shocked to see that coming from the Support team as this comes at a high level of risk to the property given that the resort will be held accountable for the confirmation email.

It all works perfectly together and we are happy that we don't have to switch between different solutions for our daily workflow.

Simply the best choice for a PMS with fantastic support team on a reasonable money spent.

Very much happy with the program, specifically on using it. And the response team are the best, they are on the top of their game.

The software is great, robust, reliable, and with a very good costumer support. What else may I ask for.

Everything, it is very easy to use. A lot of functions and a very good team behind the software.
