User Friendly

Pros

Everything about KWHotel is easy to understand and operate and best of all - you can send any questions via email and they will respond within a few hours with easy to follow steps. Any beginner or professional can operate the program. My husband and I own a Resort and I was thrown into the deep end when it came to booking out our accommodation. I downloaded the free trial and was so impressed with the features, I bought a package. I am a self-taught user and I absolutely love KWHotel. Again, if you get stuck- Just ask and you will get a reply with easy to understand solutions. Teamviewer also a blessing for emergencies!!!

Excellent software , value for money

Problem solver..extremely useful in that rate ,high quality . Has functions which make it valuable asset in a small company

Pros

Perfect choice for small/medium size hostels and hotels. Easy to learn-Very good interface Good functions ( reservations, room plan , basic but solid reports) Automatic updates Good Support-Customization of various reports Good Connectivity with various third party softwares. Server backup ( optional but highly recommended) Price and benefits you get. It is clear that the software has been created by people understanding the needs of a small -medium size property .

Cons

The mobile app needs improvement . Also the web interface could be better. Apart from that maybe some functions should be added in the future ,nothing which downgrades the quality thought.

Buyer beware

Pros

Once it's all set up and nothing goes wrong, it's easy to use. I like the option to use their free version before deciding to buy.

Cons

Setup is a nightmare and customer support is horrible. They have very little online help and what they do have is constantly changing because they are still in the process of changing their program. Twice their server has gone down on a Friday. I had no way of viewing my calendar or running my motel until the following Tuesday because they don't work weekends and they are on Poland time and I am on USA time! As you know, loosing all of your reservations is an absolute nightmare! Especially for several days over the weekend. Also, they sold me the mobile app knowing it didn't work. Then, the next year, the added the mobile app fee on my subscription again. I am not very tech savvy and I know nothing about HTTP so, Initially I gladly paid an extra fee to have their online reservation system set up on my website. This took a few months. Last October, they changed their server and now nothing seems to work. And, to top it off, they made me pay their extra fee a second time to get the online reservation set up on my website again. And after a few months, I had to get belligerent just to get them to do it. Now, it's been 6 months and it still doesn't work! Every time I open the program on my computer I cringe in fear that something will go wrong and I'll have to deal with the one email a day conversation or the 3am phone call trying to get whatever it is fixed.

A great platform that works well for small hotels

Pros

The system is a good product for those hotels who do not have a large complicated operation, it is a PMS that would be a good place to start and it has some good reporting and great flexibility. A very affordable product.

Cons

The system is a good starting point but it lacks some key functions, it has been designed for the smaller less experienced property in mind, the system does have the opportunity to grow and be an all-rounder platform, but it needs to have further development.

It made my work SO easy!

I have been using it for 4 years and it really made my work easier. It is reliable and very easy to learn (my colleagues all learned it quite fast). The team is doing a great job and offers quick assistance whenever needed. Thumbs up

Pros

That it is so easy to learn, reliable and accessible from many computers

Cons

That it runs slow when the internet connexion is bad
