Reviews of Booking Automation
Simply the easiest and most comprehensive platform we reviewed
Comments: Book It Now was a feature that many of our clients had asked for and Booking Automation took care of this from day 1. The 2nd feature we really thought highly of was the ability to add endless triggered emails and customize them easily. For example - the day of booking - 3 days before arrival - day of arrival - 1 day after departure. Really amazing software to be sure.
Pros:
Our company is VacaRent and we own the website [SENSITIVE CONTENT HIDDEN] (an advertising site for vacation homes for rent as well as hotels and resorts) Back in 2019 we decided we would include a property management platform along with a channel resource manager to our clients who list their properties on our site for free. We spent months evaluating numerous other PMS platforms and some of them were exceptional while others were difficult. Booking Automation continuously landed in the top spot for ease of use, technical support, and cost for features. With their well documented API we were able to easily integrate the 2 platforms (theirs and ours) together allowing our clients to seamlessly upload and download new reservations as well as providing financial reports, triggered emails, channel management and much more. Probably the feature that we were most amazed with was the click and drag interface for moving existing reservations around. No platform we reviewed had this feature and it was virtually assured from that moment on Booking Automation was the final choice.
Cons:
It would be easy to say the onboarding is complicated as many others have written, but honestly we have removed all of this from the setup and made it simple to handle. In the end, we just assign a user ID and password and from there our clients only have to concern themselves with taking reservations and generating revenue. But yes, I will concede, when we first started out, it was complicated. Now... not so much.
You can’t go wrong
Comments: We came to BA from another software platform due to numerous issues with the other software. BA was there from the outset to help us make the transition and get up and running in very little time. Their support staff have been there all along helping overcome challenges and providing helpful suggestions when things don’t go as planned.
Pros:
BA offers an extremely wide, and growing, suite of features that make managing various properties a breeze. There is a learning curve but once you figure it out it’s a fantastic platform. Having used others that are easier to setup, the pay off with BA is that it works consistently. We tried other software and routinely had issues.
Cons:
It’s a steep learning curve (that is still very worth it) but it is a steep one.
There are better channel management app
Comments: I rather use other channel management app, it's not user-friendly and the interface is poor and outdated.
Pros:
I had an experience using the app, I was an assistant using BA. Can have the same feature as any other app but nothing so special about it.
Cons:
Not user friendly, and the interface is so poor and outdated you won't love using it.
Adaptable management solution
Comments: Booking Automation offers a robust and adaptable property management solution

Integrate several places like PayPal, QuickBooks, and Google Analytics

sometimes for new users isdifficult to navigate and set up. its extensive features can be overwhelming.
