Amazing!
Pros
A very easy to use system that was very easy to implement and is great value for money. I love the fact that there are always updates, which means that Newbook are always ahead of the game when it comes to features. The support team are very friendly and know their stuff and the Wiki and support request features are all great. My favourite features that other systems do not offer is the read receipt of emails sent through the system and the feature suggestions. Once up and running, the direct connection with Airbnb will be
Cons
Direct connections are that are offered are very Australian based and do not fit into the London Hotel & Apartment sector.

NewBook combines multiple booking channels for us
NewBook is pretty fine to meet our needs in multiple channel booking management and helps us avoid multiple bookings and update the availability in all online sales channels as well as in our website and this way we avoid multiple bookings and helps us save time in booking operations.
Pros
Management of all reservation channels is really a hard operation especially if you have a website that already has a huge demand and always there is the risk of multiple bookings or delays in updating the room availability. NewBook solves our multiple channel reservation problem along with the reservations in our website so that whenever we accept a booking through a particular sales channel, Newbook reflects it to all other remaining channels as well as our website.
Cons
NewBook neither cover our requirements in-hotel facility reservation side like SPA bookings nor helps us to provide digitization in providing access to our other services such as room service. That would be better to have a version that covers the in-hotel service portfolio along with multi-channel room booking management.
Reasons for Choosing NewBook
Multiple sales channel management module of NewBook was much more better then the others.
Reasons for Switching to NewBook
NewBook is better with its feature to manage multiple sales channels along with our website which was the dominant factor in our switch.

Pros
Payment system integration, and taking payment is very easy
Cons

Hi Prasad, It is disappointing to see that you are posting this incorrect review of NewBook on Capterra. Our team provided solutions to all of your needs and complex requirements. Our system can be either easy or complex depending on how complex your individual property/rate setup is. As a property management system NewBook has a large number of OTA's directly connected such as Expedia Group, Hotels.com, Booking.com, AirBnB, HomeAway, TripAdvisor, Trip.com Agoda, Lido and many others but we never promoted to have hundreds like a separate channel manager would, i.e Siteminder (which we also support). If posting a bad review is an attempt to avoid paying your outstanding bills I can assure you we do not operate that way and are confident potential clients will see the large number of positive reviews and know we really do take care of our clients and offer top notch service and support. Regards, Shaye Illich Business Development Manager

Good training and the team always responds to our queries quickly.
Newbook PMS system was recommended to us by another serviced apartment company and we were extremely impressed from the outset. The time we spent on invoicing, when compared to our previous system, was dramatically reduced. The booking function is straightforward and quick. One of the areas of their expertise is training on the system. Lauren is an excellent trainer and the team action all support requests by return. If a member of our team requires further training this is quickly arranged and further support provided. All charts are easy to view and each user has the ability to customise their personal system. So if you are on reservations you can immediately click into the sales function, or finance - invoicing function. Facility hire charts are also beneficial for the allocation of parking bays or items to up-sell. Both our housekeeping and maintenance team have their own area within Newbook and can read instructions and new requests every day, to prioritise their work.
Pros
Emailing guests within the system. Sending SMS to guests. Printing of guest registration cards. Automatic sending of emails to guests prior to arrival. Automatic sending of emails to guests when in house. Automatic sending of emails prior to guest departure. Automatic sending of questionnaires.

Best in it's class ... but could be better
Newbook is a great application. The support team is 2nd to none and all of our staff have had nothing but praise for their team. You will make a serious investment increase if you're rolling over from another application, but the benefits are there which justifies the additional cost. I can definitely see it's increasing potential for our business moving forward and in the few months we have been with them they have made a development change we requested already. If they can polish up the maintenance and assets modules, there will be nothing within cooee of this PMS.
Pros
The software is fresh. Once you get the hang of it, it performs really well. It has great analytics and this is something that has helped us a lot. It also has some great underlying features. Just small things that makes life easier in your day to day operations. There is a lot "under the hood" so give yourself plenty of time to get it fully bedded in.
Cons
For us the expectation around Assets and Maintenance were high, but unfortunately these modules need some polish. We aren't the typical motel or caravan park so our needs are somewhat unique, but I would like them to focus on making these modules more functional in the future. They aren't far off but it makes it hard using these features in their current state. I would also like to see the break up some of the fields used in templates, but in the most part these are very good.

NewBook is comfortably the best Serviced Apartment PMS available.
Our entire company operation has benefitted from implementing NewBook. From the financial department, through to reservations, marketing, sales and guest services, there is functionality to improve the efficiency and professionalism of all. This is also a very cost effective solution when compared to other, more complicated and less useful solutions on the market.
Pros
The functionality of NewBook is excellent, it is able to handle the nuances of running a serviced apartment operator. Their customer support is extremely useful as well as how well they respond to and implement customer suggestions. I would say that you feel part of the future development of the product. All in all it has most definitely increased the professionalism and efficiency of how our company works.
Cons
Occasionally can be laggy, but only very occasionally. Other than that, there is nothing to complain about.

NewBook simplifies and automates daily tasks, allowing us more time to focus on our guests.
Pros
It's a user friendly system with multiple features we were able to instantly implement to help grow our business, in both revenue earned and customer retention. It's simplicity means our staff training can focus more on the customer experience than the tools we use. The support team are available when we need them, are prompt, efficient and friendly.
Cons
NewBook offers so much, it is a challenge to find time to implement every feature. To be picky, a more intuitive revenue management system would be fantastic, though what it does have still beats anything we've used in the past. The accounting side can also be tricky if not set up correctly from the outset.

Awesome progressive PMS that evolves with our park as we grow.
Enabled more me time! Provided numerous functions for reporting and analysing my business that i can see at a click of a button.
Pros
Newbook is extremely user friendly, providing clear and responsive cloud based PMS that is able to be accessed where ever you are. The knowledge section is a great tool to research a better understanding of how the tools work should you require more information. Also enabling me to meet my customers needs quickly and professionally with so many options to suppport my growing business into the future.
Cons
Love it and dont have any dislikes. I have found when I disliked something is was due to not understanding the functionality and when proficient it changed my view.

Business made easier
Newbook staff are fabulous, prompt & reliable. They are always chirpy & very bubbly on the phone. They know their stuff & if they can't help with a question, they will find out & get back to you.
Pros
What I like most about the software is the dashboard & having favourites to click on.
Cons
I least like, there is so much we can do in the program, it gets a bit overwhelming to find everything.
Reasons for Choosing NewBook
Because we used Newbook in our previous holiday park & we loved it.

I have been using Newbook for last three and half years.
Better control, good reporting tailored to our needs.
Pros
Ease of use Flexible Modern Outstanding support from Chris, Lauren & Hannah Regular updates.
Cons
Booking engine not converting. Not up to date. Can't use modern widgets such as "Triptease" etc. Most other PMS providers offer this service. Limited direct OTA connectivity. Only channel manager available is "Siteminder". Need to have others. Most updated geared towards caravans and holiday parks rather than independent London hotels. Review/ guest feedback page extremely outdated.

After spending a LOT of time choosing and two awful experiences prior to Newbook -It's been a dream!
So much time saved! The automatization is amazing; takes time to set up, but the fact that you can set criteria for it to either do or not do something based on what you have told it is fab.
Pros
It's so easy to use. I love that you can build your own "screen views" with all of the elements you want to see as an individual.
Cons
I would prefer the calendar to be aligned (the dates look like they are in different places depending on the length of the property / apartment name) and it would be great if all one bedroom apartments were together despite locations.....
