GuestReady

We needed to sort out our calendars after getting caught out by a double booking over the summer. Setup was clear and the sync has been reliable since. The one thing I'd change is the price jump when you add a third property, it felt steeper than I'd been led to expect from the site.

My husband and I have had the three cottages with them since before the pandemic and the messages to guests go out on their own now, which is a huge weight off. Once in a while a booking confirmation comes through a few minutes late but it has never once caused us bother. We would stick with them.

Honestly decent so far, first time using a booking management tool so I can't compare it to much. Sync seems to work fine but I had to fiddle with the room mapping for a while before the dates lined up. Support replied within a day once I got stuck, which was good.

We needed a way to cut down on the messages going back and forth with guests about arrival times, my wife was doing most of it by hand. We compared a few options first and this one was reasonable on price. The automated messages work but the setup took longer than the website said and I had to ask twice before the wifi text was right.

Compared to doing the changeover ourselves between guests this was a lot less faff, I was dreading the calendar sync but it pulled everything across from our booking channels in one go. The messages from guests went through fine and I can reply from my phone at the bus stop which is the main thing for me. Only niggle is the notifications are a bit slow to arrive sometimes, so I check the app anyway.

Signed up for the free trial to see if it was worth it, and the first thing I noticed was how quick the account set up was, took about ten minutes. Connected my listing and the bookings came through straight away. Didn't have to pay anything until I'd decided, which I liked.

The calendar sync with the main platform is spot on, it pulled everything through without me touching a thing. Setting up the second listing took a bit longer because the iCal link needed copying across by hand, but it works now.

Tried two other management tools before this and they were clunky or wanted a huge monthly fee for features we never used. This one does the calendar sync and messaging without the extras, and the price is fair for a couple of properties. The mobile app is a bit basic but everything I need is there and the updates have been steady.

Fair for what it does, we pay a reasonable monthly fee for two listings and it handles the calendars. Messaging works. It would be a bit better value if the reporting were stronger, but we don't really look at it much.

Set up the channel manager sync for our two flats and the calendar connections were straightforward, the support chat walked me through the iCal link for the second site. Pricing per listing is clear and nothing sneaky at renewal.

The two way calendar sync is the feature that made me pick this one over the others I looked at, the rest wanted you to set everything up by hand. It has pulled bookings across from three platforms without errors for months now. Set up was on a Sunday and it was live by teatime.

Compared with the system we used before, the calendar updates here are noticeably slower, which I did not expect. I raised a ticket about the sync delay and it took several days to get a reply, and by then we had already double booked a weekend. The interface is pleasant enough but I would have hoped for something more reliable for the money.

Calendar sync with the big platform just works, I put two rooms on and it pulled availability through in minutes. Grabbed it on the app while waiting for the kettle. Nothing to moan about.

Honestly the easiest booking I have ever done for a holiday let. Signed up on the site, the team got back to me the same afternoon and the whole thing was sorted in about a week.

We needed something simpler than the old paper diary for taking bookings from the three cottages, and this has been a good move. The signup was not difficult and I was able to get the calendars linked with some help from the support team. Prices are clear and I have no complaints about the monthly cost.

It does exactly what it needs to, which is keep my calendars in line across the sites I list on. I've used a few channel managers over the years so I know what to look for, and this one handles the syncing cleanly with no fuss. Setup took an afternoon and the support articles were useful when I got stuck on the rate mapping.

We needed something to stop getting double booked across the website and the big booking platform, it had been happening every couple of months and it was embarrassing. Since setting it up the calendars update within a few minutes and we haven't had a clash. The onboarding call got rescheduled twice which was annoying but once we were live it was fine.

Way easier than the spreadsheet I was using before, I was losing track of who was booked when. Compared it to a couple of other apps and this one was the simplest to get going on my phone. The guest messages go out automatically and I don't have to think about it anymore, which is great.

the automated check in messages are the best bit, guests get the door code and wifi details automatically and stop texting me at midnight. signing up took like ten mins. honestly sorted.
