Software Advice offers objective insights based on verified user reviews and independent product and market research. When our advisors match you to a software provider, we may earn a referral fee.

How Software Advice ensures transparency

Software Advice lists all providers across its website—not just those that pay us—so that users can make informed purchase decisions. Users can talk to our advisors for free to receive software recommendations matching their needs. Software providers pay us for sponsored profiles to reach users interested in their products.

How Software Advice verifies reviews

Software Advice carefully verified over 2 million reviews to bring you authentic software experiences from real users. Our human moderators verify that reviewers are real people and that reviews are authentic. They use leading tech to analyze text quality and to detect plagiarism and generative AI.

Independent research methodology

Researchers at Software Advice use a mix of verified reviews, independent research, and objective methodologies to bring you selection and ranking information you can trust. While we may earn a referral fee when you visit a provider through our links or talk to an advisor, this has no influence on our research or methodology.

100% positive. It has fundamentally changed how we run our events and given the team much more time to focus on new areas of added value.

Pros:

Hostology has made our event organisation more streamlined and cost efficient. It is easy to use and great value. The customer support is also exceptional.

Cons:

No real cons. Obviously there is nervousness when starting with a new platform and transitioning to new ways of working but our team has found Hostology's interface very straight-forward.

Think twice as a guest

Poor - advice don’t pay for rooms and accommodation until 72 hours before the event when you know you can attend as otherwise your money will be lost

Pros:

Difficult site to navigate, not suitable for multiple generations, lumpy and unclear , no easy contact available

Cons:

No refund policy or ease of contact if guest circumstances change due to illness. Again no easy contact information messages left and emails go unanswered

Vendor Response

Dear Reviewer, it seems that your complaint refers to the Venue where you were invited to book a room, presumably for an event or wedding? Whilst we are sorry that you felt their customer service was not up to scratch, please note that we are a white-label booking platform, used by many different venues, and not responsible for the support a specific venue offer their guests. Regarding refund policies, each venue clearly states their terms and conditions of booking during the check out process, again this is not something that we are responsible for. If you would like to share the venue name we can ensure that your feedback is received and check that their documentation is up to date. Thank you also for the usability feedback. We are always looking for ways to improve our user flows and your feedback will help us in our aim to keep improving the experience for guests using the platform.

Pros:

A really good system for venues / couples and their guests. Easy to use and good customer service as we move from moving from spread sheet to on line system. The customer service has been great and really responsive to suggestions / changes to make this even more user friendly.

Cons:

Cost to guests for payments eg: accommodation BUT they have now enabled us to charge this direct to the couple vs the invitee. And also increased the ways to pay eg: BACS but high costs on these transactions.
