I highly recommend you invest in the set-up package they offer.

Super user friendly, support very efficient. Many opportunities , great interface.

Good overview of the day/month/year. Integrations work well with gmail & mailchimp.

The automation saving me hours of emails every day. The ability to verify payments through the integrations with Stripe etc.

There are a few features missing but since my business field is a bit outside Bookinglayers core area I guess that is normal.

Great customer support and a really professional looking template that improves our guest experience whilst giving me more time on the aspects of the job that I really enjoy.

No easy setup, but when done, BookingLayer is the 'whole in one booking solution' especially for small companies that want to work very personally with it's costumers.

Fast loading times, great design,  super friendly support personnel,  very generous on pricing plans.

The extremely confusing and clunky way to get things to work.

In the beginning, we found quite a few options not working well or bugs that needed fixing.

We would highly recommend booking layer for any Surf camps.

Lot's of different ways to see the data, the calendar and info about guests. But also easy to use for a employee.

This software saves me time on the computer. Issues are resolved by the team at booking layer quickly.

The most valuable thing this company has is the customer service. They are always very helpful to make sure you customize the product so it adapts perfectly to your needs.

The menu in the backoffice is very clean and easy to learn how to use. You can choose what function a employee has, so they can’t for example change any settings.

We still use a different system for that, as regulations in France are quite difficult.

Great software and excellent customer support have us excited to be partnering with Bookinglayer.

Throughout the set up of Booking layer to the operation of the system we have had a very good, positive and supportive experience.

Bookinglayer has given us the opportunity to become more professional and by making bookings so easy for guests and for ourselves.

I think that they are intuitive, flexible and forward thinking company and looking forward to the new features & super happy that I choose booking layer.

This software has probably the easiest back office to understand and work on. It’s really simple, super helpful and anyone can take over In few minutes.

Keeps being updated to the newest standards and is always developed further to meet the newest trends. Can also be a disadvantage of course as relatively frequent changes are made).

From our experience the owner is always happy to look at it together with you and will try to honestly tell you if his solution will be suited for you or not.

This is a good software program which helps you to organize your surfcamp. To send the bills, get the money in your account, and get the bookings in a nice list.

The front-office looks very professional and is yet easy to use.

Very easy to use and very intuitive. Great GUI in Front- and Backend.

The strength of this company is the fantastic support it provides for its clients. This is both at the set-up stage, and also after implementation has started.

Xola has eased our registrations considerably; we still have problems discounting events but that might be user error.

First thing I like is the willingness to listen to the customers for new changes and ideas. That makes both of us better.

Their program integrates seemlesly with our website, making it easier for customers to complete their bookings. The customer support is great, they are very responsive and helpful.

The onsite booking is aesthetic and easy for our customers, and the back end is incredibly user friendly for my staff to use, and chock-full of useful resources.

Sadly, business is still in its beginning stage so there is not a lot of interaction iv'e had with this software.

Canʻt say enough good things about our experience with Xola. We have been with them almost from the beginning and they have grown and adapted to meet our needs perfectly.

Unable to quickly block of certain tours at specific times.

Tech support is great and helpful. Setting up is easy and the training videos are great.

My overall experience with Xola has been great. Also the customer support is awesome.

We like the simplicity and ease of use of xola.

We have been using this software for 4 years and love it. We are continually contacted by other systems, but this is by far our favorite.

Xola is great for tour and activity management.

Easy to understand and a breeze to navigate through. One of the strongest points is how easy it is to train your staff on.

Moreover, their customer service is phenomenal - very quick, responsive, and helpful.
