Bookerville Saved My Company
I like being able to speak directly with the owner. He always responds to emails and phone calls. Well done.
Pros
Got me turned around and on top of things before things got out of hand. Thank you guys.
Cons
Nothing much, I sometimes don't like it when you change the pricing then all the scheduled emails go back to the basic emails and not the ones that I have just chosen.

A Good Booking App
Pros
Data entry is very simple and decent. Linking up with other public calendars like the ones from Airbnb, Booking.com and TripAdvisor.
Cons
Better UI design. Better mobile UI. I think that's the area of improvement that Bookerville could work on.
Response from Bookerville
Bookerville is impressed that Mr. Kenny was able to determine some of this detail in less than an hour of use of the free trial, and absolutely zero interaction with our staff, including the free webinar. Puzzling...

Using Bookerville
One of the most important factors I find critical with a booking platform is the customer service/support. What few issues I have had (and they have all been due to my poor computing skills) have been quickly responded to, and solved. I go to bed at night with no worries about bookerville managing my bookings.
Pros
I like that I can count on this platform to seamlessly manage my bookings.
Cons
I really have nothing to say about Bookerville

Every interaction with the staff has been great usually a quick response if there's an issue never left with out an answer to a questions for anything.
Pros
Deployment of the service was a whole lot easier and user friendly than others I tried before. Was up and running in no time.
Cons
I wish it integrated with my quickbooks online and gave more options for KPI's in reports but overall all does a great job!

Bookerville continues to provide an excellent product
Bookerville is my bridge between my 98% Airbnb bookings and those 2% long term returning guests. Bookerville allows me to keep my 2%'ers happy, offering them specific "coupons" and vacations without Airbnb's (necessary) fees. Bookerville also allows me to fully synchronize all of my calendar needs between Airbnb and Bookerville and scheduling needs for my cleaning staff.
Pros
While Bookerville also works with larger vacation rental concerns they continue to offer a space for us smaller vacation rental proprietors. I have determined that Channel Managers are not yet able to handle proprietors who only manage one property. Bookerville however, continues to take care of our needs.
Most important to me in that regard is the integration/synchronization with Airbnb. While Airbnb is a great advertising platform I have yet to see that their ability to coordinate all emails with cleaning staff and to some extent, guests, is comparable to what I am able to do with Bookerville.
Customer support also continues to be solid with Bookerville. I have yet to submit an issue that has not been dealt with fairly quickly and to my satisfaction.
Cons
At this point I cannot think of another feature that could be added to Bookerville. Some times the year end reports do not seem to answer a question I might have for tax purposes. Perhaps I should submit a request!

Very easy software
We as business owners saved a lot of time due to this automated booking system. Now we can spend more time with pampering guests.
Pros
It syncs with other major websites and it is easy to understand. Rep answers all questions in a very timely manner and if there are suggestions then rep always has an open ear and tries to implement owners wishes. When I started using this system I was sacred that it would be too complicated, but it is easy and I have added more and more properties within the last years.
Cons
I wished this booking system could summarize net rental values, at least I have not been able to get to those numbers or did not do it right, but it is important to have a recollection on what each rental brings in as net income. Otherwise, there is nothing I would change.

Over view of software
Benefits to this software to me is the emails sent out as soon as a perspective guest wants to request a booking, reminders for payments it helps us keep tract of what's happening very easily.
Pros
I just started working for the owner of her vacation rentals and I found this software to be very user friendly. I just started training on this software for bookings and I found it very easy to pick up speaking from a person who is not very computer savvy.
Cons
So far I haven't come across anything that I would classify as a con.

Best Option for the Money!!
It makes my Life easier
Pros
Cost - great value!
Features -
- channel manager available
- integrates a calendar and booking feature into my website
- calendar sync
- how to videos
- easy to use
- cleaners have access to their schedule on line
Cons
- The software is set up for 90% of all properties. I've only got 5 properties but between my main 2, they sleep over 40 people. To keep these properties booked I base my rates on a few different features. My main Con, is on Guest count, in summer, my base rate is based on 22 or less on my larger property. In spring and fall, based on 18 or less, and winter 12 or less. Above those counts, there is a per person rate, summer, because of pool maintenance its higher , winter its less. Bookerville's allows me to set one guest count allowed under base rate and one rate per person per not above that. So the rates aren't as flexible as I'd like
- its a bear setting up the Rental Agreement.. especially if you've got a detailed one... sleeping over 40 people, with pools, hot tubs, water front.
- no phone # to call. Got a question, you'll email and get an answer, usually pretty quick. But is not always easy to explain the issue which kind of makes it difficult.
- my cleaners have IPhones. The schedule is available in calendar form, but for the iPhone, it is not clear the exact check in or out dates.
Even with these cons, the software is well worth it. The Pros far outweighs these and are some many features, I've still haven't begun to use.

Brilliant system
Have used it for ten years. Occasionally you look around how other systems work and every time I find that Bookerville is way ahead of other systems, both in flexibility, ease of use. One real good thing about it is that every now and then you have a question, you get an answer quickly and always from someone who knows what he/she is talking about.
Pros
I am at times using software of major companies, but using Bookerville is always a positive relief, as it is so easy to use and has endless possibilities for my business. Saves me a lot of time.
Cons
There really is little not to like about it.

Great for the Small Guys...
I have been using Bookerville for nearly 2 years. In that time I have seen many progressive changes on the platform and while it doesn't offer everything I need it provides 90% of the functionality. For the owner/property manager you will find the software relatively intuitive and with integrations to channel managers you can get visibility that the big guys have. Certainly a recommend for me.
Pros
Progressive updates
Comprehensive features
Relatively easy to use
Responsive support
Cons
Training on the platform from setup to new features is limited.
No actual website... there are widgets that you can insert into a website but you have to have your own site and know how to set it up and use it.

Perfect for my business
Excellent booking platform when running multiple properties
Pros
This has everything i need to manage all of my bookings across all booking sites, makes my job really easy and well worth the money.
Cons
I think there is always areas for improvement, but I think some of this is the user getting to know what the software can do. If you suggest improvements, the designers will go out of there way to see if this is possible.

Using Bookerville for years!
We have been using Bookerville for many years and love the support that they give us. They are always quick to answer emails and will give a call if it is needed. I have told others who are just getting into the "rental" world about Bookerville and they agree that it is a great booking site that has everything that you need. If it doesn't all you have to do is suggest it and who knows your idea might be the next big improvement! Excellent service, excellent site!
Pros
I like that it automatically sends my clients email informing them of payments, updates, and check-in information. Everything is neatly organized and all within a click of a button. I can set up a form and have it send email x amount of days before my client checks in. I also like that it automatically updates my other calendars on Homeaway.
Cons
Having so much to choose from sometimes gets confusing but with so may different people using the software it caters to all. I would also love to see an app for owners to be able to use on the go.

Bookerville has modernized our reservations
My husband researched many reservation software and found that Bookerville would fit us best. That was 4 years ago and I can't begin to tell you how profound the change has been. Bookerville has made it so we are not tied to the phone, and the guests love it. It is so easy to use and functional. The owner is quick to reply if we have an issue and is constantly making improvements to better meet managers needs.
Pros
Ease of use, price is great considering what you get. Guests really like that they can make a reservation so simply.
Cons
Sometimes guests have had trouble seeing the online calendar but I have never personally had a problem.
