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!!!

The best Hotel management software out there!
Seven stars!!!
PROSI am the manager/owner of two hospitality companies. In the past, I have worked in large hotel chains with the most expensive Hospitality programs and when I created my own companies, I needed all the features of a good program, without the prohibiting cost most brought with them... Then I found KWHotel in 2016...! I started with the free option to see if it suited my needs and then quickly moved on to the Pro version. The interface is easy to navigate, the calendar view is all-inclusive, the program's features include everything a hotel/villa management/apartment rental company may need (web access, mobile App, OTA sync, channel manager etc) and more, all with very easy navigation and setting up process! The support center (which is probably the most important aspect of a software program) is the best I have come across in ANY sector, with immediate response, well-informed personnel and the INVALUABLE feeling that if something goes wrong, then it will be set right in no time at all! I HIGHLY recommend KWHotel for anyone who needs to keep informed of their reservations, guest data, prices, statistics, invoicing and general management of their hospitality company with one "click". We at Messinian Luxury and Messinian Nest would be lost without it!
CONSNothing! Everything works for us and we keep finding features that help us more and more with our reseervations management and villa operations.

Buyer beware
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.
CONSSetup 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.

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
PROSPerfect 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 .
CONSThe 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.

Hi Dim! It was a pleasure to read your review for KWHotel. It is always exciting to see the pros but I also have good news about the cons. Both the mobile and web apps are currently undergoing major improvements so hopefully the cons mentioned will soon become a remnant of the past for you!

A great platform that works well for small hotels
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.
CONSThe 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.

A mediocre PMS written by junior devs as a weekend project
It.. keeps your reservation and usually syncs well between providers
CONSSorry KWHotel team - but your support is pretty much non existent and the prices tha are charged for software that is self hosted is crazy high! The competition is miles ahead.

Good software for fair price
KW hotel has flexibility to be used both for hostel an apartments businesses, it is simple and straightforward. You can also order tailor made solutions. But the best thing is support that you get almost instanteniosly.
CONSReporting module could be much better. Reporting by booker, by country and by room type.

Cheap Rooms Guesthouse Patong is a 14 unit Guesthouse. KW is easy. Accurate. Reliable.
The free version is perfect. If we had a credit card, I'd buy the Pro version. The scheduling, reservation is what exactly we need.
CONSI'd like it to interface with my Android on cloud. But I think that's the Pro version. We do not have a credit card.

Katastrope, nie wieder
Ich Kämpfe seit zwei Jahren und schreibe berichte über Fehler in der Software mit der Bitte um Behebung (ich betreibe quasi kostenlose Fehlersuche und bin Tippgeber für die Entwicklung) da ist aber seitens der Programmierer kein Interesse das Programm zu verbessern... Es ist völlig egal Das ist eine Blamage!!
PROSAm Anfang war es der gunstige Preis, bei dem man über viele Fehler hinwegsehen konnte, dieser hat sich aber erheblich erhöht.
CONSStändig hängt sich die Software auf, Ist sehr langsam, nicht innovativ, hässliches Design, dauernde Fehlermeldungen der Schnittstelle. Kundensupport ist unterirdisch schlecht. Nur Telefonieren, ohne Technisches Verständnis oder Erfahrung in der Hottelerie.

Excellent software, five stars!!!
Product is excellent to manage all reservations and the room allocations. It has lots of features even if your hotel has a conference room like ours where you can also manage all meetings and events bookings. No slight chance of overbooking risks. Can be connected to a channel manager. The team viewer support feature is great as you can connect with the team in Poland in case of any problem ( this never happens !)and they will look into it. They can also guide you through the system via this feature.
CONSI like everything. Nothing negative to say. Maybe it would be good to have a feature where we are able to print out an updated guests list at any time.

The best support team ever
I wanted a Hotel Management software and I chose KW. As I was completely satisfied from the free version, I decided to purchase the standard version (I think I will purchase the Pro version next year, as I want to synchronize it with my booking account). The software is very easy-to-use, it is perfectly translated in Greek (and other languages), it is affordable enough (150 euros per year for up to 100 beds) and the support team is the most convenient and ready-to-answer support team ever! It is highly costumizable, as you can add the rooms and the equipment, add the reservations and easily choose the suitable room for each client, make and print reports and statistics etc. I really have not found anything negative until now, as the support team is always there! Congratulations!

Hi Pinelopi, On behalf of the whole KWHotel Team I would like to thank you for your warm comments! There is no better motivation than to see someone acknowledge your hard work.

Worst customer service ever.
Software is simple but technicians CANNOT troubleshoot their product. Located in Poland so no one is available for any assistance unless you stay up until 3am EST when you have questions or issues. Three months and still unable to integrate my PayPal into their software on my website. No communication as to what is happening if you don't contact them. However, they do take your money no problem through PayPal to pay for services they offer but do not provide. Very disappointed overall. We are a simple, small hostel which makes this all the more frustrating.
PROSUser friendly interface

Nice and simple
We have been using kwHotelPro for 4 years now, and are very happy with the software. once installed and customized it is simple and safe to use. We definetly like the way we could customize booking confirmation emails to be easily sent to each customer, regarding the different kind of room they booked, if they used a gift certificate or not ...
PROS- the safe storage of clients informations on kwHotel database - the customised xml booking confirmation. - the user-friendly interface - the manuel procided for installing and configuring kwHotel
CONS- it sometime takes time to load the database
