## Reviews

### "Highly recommended" — 5.0/5

> **Elke** | *24 July 2026* | Real Estate | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: Really intuitive platform, allowing you to manage multiple listings across multiple booking sites. Comparatively very very affordable subscription.
> 
> **Cons**: Nothing\! We haven't had any issues to date. I just need to write 100 word minimum, but I have nothing to add here.
> 
> Great experience, fantastic support team who are easy to contact. Its made managing 3 listings across 4 sites a breeze. We also manage our cleaners and keys codes for the door lock. Plus it costs nothing compared to all other similar platforms.

Quick to reply and the booking site offers much more and more professional than previous software
