Five Star Support
Easy to use cloud-based solution that is a perfect fit for our accommodation and POS needs.
CONSJust a thought - how about a mobile app?
Vendor Response
Thank you Tazz for the review. For web reservations, you can use it on a phone or tablet which for obvious reasons does not include all functions but enables new reservations as well as a live dashboard. in addition there are numerous apps for check-ins housekeeping, guest focussed etc. if there is anything specific you would like please let us know.

Everything you need and More... and then some!
It covers all aspects of what is required in the hospitality industry. From the restaurant all the way to wedding facilities and online booking platform.
CONSThe software altough works great and does everything it should, looks a bit dated.
Reason for choosing Semper Property Management Systems

Reasons for switching to Semper Property Management Systems

Good but still improving
Good, but do feel we were promised features during sales meetings that either do not exist, does not work as advertised or and most importantly, is still in development and development is taking slower than we were told it would.
PROSFairly easy to use on a day to day basis for operations
CONSStill needs some development on the back end with regards to rate management and visibility of rates when not in use, example: you cannot set rates to turn on and off as specific dates in the year and if rate is not available it is still visible and bookable on the system, but at a zero rate.
Reason for choosing Semper Property Management Systems
Cost was better that Opera Support better than RoomRaccoon locally More features than NightsBridge
Reasons for switching to Semper Property Management Systems
It was too expensive, and had to pay for every feature. Also offered less integration to local OTA sites. Lastly it was server based and not Web-based so not great for remote use.

Semper is the best!
The customer support from Semper is fabulous and they now have specialist support members who are very knowledgeable about the product.
PROSSemper Online is one of the easiest software packages that I have ever used and it has been extremely easy to convert from a server based system to this online one. It is extremely user-friendly and training new staff is now much easier.
CONSThere is nothing negative about Semper although it can be tricky when the internet is down - but that's not their fault!
Reasons for switching to Semper Property Management Systems
Semper is both a CRM and a PMS so it is not necessary to use 2 systems to update rates to our channel manager.
Vendor Response
Thanks so much for the great review, Lisa! We are so glad you enjoy the Semper web system. Your review means a lot to us!

Semper Hospitality Software
The software is stable. Integrates well with other programs, - accounting and other booking systems. The maintenance and development is excellent on the program. The staff are friendly and willing to help and assist all the time.
PROSThe product stood out from others as it was easy to use. It incorporated tour groups and individuals that other programs could not do. A huge amount of data can be recouped through the record systems and easy to find them. Was easy to set the system up to our needs.
CONSThere is nothing that I do not like or find irritating.
Reason for choosing Semper Property Management Systems
The system could handle tour groups and the individual guest in the group.
Vendor Response
We can't thank you enough for the kind words, Tom. Your review means a lot to us and lets us know we're on the right track.

User Friendly, with a Super Support Staff
Always friendly and always helpful and willing to assist.
PROSThe software is easy to understand and to use. This makes it a joy to work with on a daily basis.
CONSSometimes the updates bring out more problems.
Reasons for switching to Semper Property Management Systems
They were not user friendly at all, less functionality and the support service was not good. Plus them being a foreign company, there was problems with VAT calculations - they were never 100%

Semper is a great tool for hospitality
I believe that this is a great tool to reach multiple markets at once and there is still a lot to build on.
PROSEasy and quick to use. Makes streamlining all information easy. Always exceptional support from [SENSITIVE CONTENT]. If not for him life would have been a lot more difficult
CONS1. I wish there was Whatsapp integration built in. This would make it so much easier to communicate directly with guests from the system. Similiar to what automated sms and emails are set up. 2. Looking to integrate Xero Accounting software but found out today that there is an expensive monthly cost to doing this.
Reason for choosing Semper Property Management Systems
Semper is a system we inherited when we took over so haven't really shopped around
Vendor Response
Hi Dean, Thanks so much for taking the time to review the Semper system. We are glad to hear you are getting exceptional support. Feel free to send us an email with your request to integrate with WhatsApp and we will gladly look at it. The Xero integration will save you a lot of time, so it will be worth every cent. You can also send us an email and we can see how we can accommodate your needs.

Stock Control is accurate and profit margins are nice to see
CONSCurrenlty there is ONE colour coded for both the Guest that has (i) made partial payment; AS WELL as the Guest that has Paid in FULL. It would be nice to have the Calendar View to highlight in DIFFERENT COLOURS the two types of Guests, those who have PAID IN FULL; and those who have made Payment, but still have OUTSTANDING account prior to their arrival and check in. Because of this issue, one now has to actually click on the booking to open the reservation in order to see if there person is Paid in FULL ; or only partially paid.

it can be much better
not too bad but hope they can meet us( end users ) half way with other important features
PROSuser friendly cloud based modern, information easily accessible
CONSreports are not accurate. dealing with groups is a nightmare, 1 change mess the entire group even when selection was not made for other group members. OTA bookings do not have an automated correct "booking source" they all come through as internet. rates do not split properly i.e breakfast, tourism levy. Rates get duplicated for long stay reservations there is no feature for refundable deposits to individual guests accounts i.e towel deposits a lot can really be done for end users to enjoy

The ideal software for my business
Pre Semper we had a number of lost bookings as well as a serious problem with double bookings. With Semper being linked directly to our multi channel manager ( MyAllocator ), this problem has totally disappeared. The proiduct comes with 100's of reports so i can pull any stats i need for pipeline management, house maintenance etc. its all there.
PROSits simple to use and very reliable. I run it locally as we are very rural and the internet is not always reliable. despite running locally, Semper also allows me remote access via a web browser interface so i am able to manage bookings from anywhere.
CONSNothing really. its not the fanciest software on the market, but it does everything i want at a very reasonable price.
Reason for choosing Semper Property Management Systems
Semper was chosen as its was easy to use and had all the features we needed. We also found support to be very good and requests for new functionality were handled very fast. The user interface at the time was pretty basic, but this meant that user training was fast and easy. a big plus actually. Subsequently they have developed a more modern web based interface so you now have the choice of using either.

Effective Guest Experience
Semper Reservations and Semper conferencing are the core software that runs our Hotel. We very reliant on it as it is user friendly, effective and affordable
PROSThe product itself is user friendly, we are able to add features to suite our needs. Payment via the online portal quick and the software updates itself automatically saving us time spent checking through our service providers (Bank). You are able to intergrate with any product with easy. For example as a hotel we intergrated with Pilot and Gaap POS systems in order to track payment and ensuring all transactions are in par with the existing features.
CONSSome time but not often, it does not generate the information needed for example generating occupancy rate , proper employee cash ups. However semper support is effective when the need arises to attend to these matters.

Semper Review
Overall it has been a good experience with very little difficulties in user management. I would recommend the software to other resorts without hesitation.
PROSThe booking System is very user friendly for my front office staff as well as the online booking system which is very user friendly for my guests.
CONSThe guest search engine could be improved to be more specific
Reason for choosing Semper Property Management Systems
We chose the hospitality software as it was very similar to our manual system we had in place at the resort therefore was an easy transition for us.

Leanne, thank you for the great review! We're so happy you find value in the system. Feel free to send us an email with your suggestions on the guest search engine. We will be happy to look into it.
