Choosing between Levart Channel Control by Levart and Simple Booking by Simple Booking hinges on evaluating their core capabilities, user experience, and overall value. Both aim to facilitate your hotel’s distribution, but they differ significantly in reviews, features, and regional presence. Levart offers extensive connectivity but remains largely unreviewed, while Simple Booking boasts a strong reputation, recent user praise, and a broader integration network. Your decision should reflect your hotel’s specific needs and growth plans.
Levart aims to connect your property seamlessly to over 100 OTAs, GDS, and metasearch platforms, with a focus on efficient syncing and rate parity. However, it currently has no recent reviews, ratings, or user feedback available, which raises questions about its real-world performance and support. Conversely, Simple Booking has accumulated 21 reviews, with recent feedback highlighting ease of use, support quality, and a high likelihood of recommendation. Do you prioritize proven user satisfaction or extensive connectivity?
While both products facilitate distribution, Simple Booking’s recent review activity and consistent high ratings—particularly a 9.62/10 NPS—make it the more dependable choice. Levart’s lack of recent data suggests it may not be as actively supported or adopted. Can your hotel rely on a platform with proven customer satisfaction, or do you want to explore a less tested option?
If your hotel needs a channel manager with a proven track record of user satisfaction, Simple Booking is the clear choice. Its 21 reviews, recent positive feedback, and a 4.81/5 customer support rating demonstrate reliability and ongoing development. It’s ideal for hotels that value ease of use, quick onboarding, and a broad network of integrations.
Select Levart if your priority is connecting to an extensive range of channels without concern for recent user feedback or support quality. Levart’s unique offering of unlimited channels at no extra cost could appeal to properties with complex distribution needs, but the absence of recent reviews makes this a riskier choice. Is your hotel comfortable choosing a platform with limited recent validation?
Simple Booking’s ease of use is outstanding, with a 4.95/5 rating driven by reviews praising its speed, intuitiveness, and friendly interface. Users appreciate the quick onboarding process—rated 4.78/5—and value its straightforward management tools. In contrast, Levart’s user ratings are unavailable, and its review history is nonexistent, suggesting no recent feedback on usability.
Given the current data, Simple Booking is the easier platform for your team to adopt and operate effectively. The high usability score correlates with a smoother learning curve and faster onboarding. Edge: Simple Booking.
Simple Booking offers 14 features, including a booking performance report, inventory grid, and support for weekly/monthly rates, which are absent in Levart. Levart provides 11 shared features with Simple Booking but only has one exclusive feature—unlimited channels at no extra cost—making it competitive but not superior in feature set.
Simple Booking’s comprehensive analytics and flexible rate support give it an edge for hotels seeking detailed operational insights. Levart’s main advantage is its unlimited channel connectivity, but the lack of recent updates and reviews diminishes its appeal. Edge: Simple Booking.
Simple Booking’s recent reviews consistently praise its responsive, friendly support team, reflected in a 4.81/5 customer service rating and a 9.62/10 NPS score. Users describe the support as “very attentive” and “efficient,” which is critical for smooth onboarding and ongoing use.
Levart has no recent review data or support ratings available, making it difficult to assess how well it meets client needs. Relying on a platform with unverified support could pose risks, especially if issues arise. Edge: Simple Booking.
Simple Booking connects to 56 verified partners, including major OTAs, GDS, and industry platforms such as Tripadvisor, RMS, and Oracle Hospitality. Levart, with 13 verified partners, offers fewer integrations but includes key channels like Airbnb, Agoda, and RoomMaster.
The broader integration network of Simple Booking provides more options for your property’s distribution strategy. If your hotel relies on specific partners not supported by Levart, this could be a decisive factor. Edge: Simple Booking.
With no recent reviews for Levart, it cannot be rated by hoteliers today. Simple Booking, however, has 21 reviews with an average rating of 4.95/5, and a 96% likelihood to recommend among recent users. Segment-specific ratings also favor Simple Booking across hotel types, especially boutique and city-center hotels.
Hotels seeking a platform with proven user satisfaction should favor Simple Booking. The absence of recent feedback for Levart suggests it’s less trusted or less adopted. Edge: Simple Booking.
Levart’s pricing details are unavailable, with no mention of a free trial, subscription, or per-room fees. Conversely, Simple Booking charges a straightforward $200 monthly fee without a trial—offering transparency and predictable costs.
The clear, accessible pricing for Simple Booking makes budgeting easier. Without pricing info for Levart, it’s challenging to compare value directly, but the lack of transparency might be a concern for your hotel’s financial planning.
Not ideal if your hotel values proven support, recent reviews, or regional presence, especially in Europe or other markets where Simple Booking has a stronger footprint.
Not ideal if your hotel needs a channel manager with extensive channel options at no extra cost or if you prefer a platform with more limited regional reach.
The core difference is that Simple Booking is a well-established, highly-rated platform with recent positive reviews, whereas Levart remains largely unreviewed and without recent customer feedback. If your hotel values proven support, ease of use, and extensive integrations, Simple Booking is the reliable choice.
Choose Simple Booking if you want a trusted, user-rated platform that enhances your booking and distribution efforts with clarity and confidence. Its recent reviews and high satisfaction scores underscore its suitability for most hotels seeking a straightforward, effective channel manager.
Opt for Levart only if your hotel requires unlimited channels at no extra cost and you’re willing to accept the uncertainty stemming from its lack of recent validation and support data. Its offering may suit properties with highly specific distribution needs and a preference for cost-free channel expansion.
In conclusion, for most hoteliers making a decision today, Simple Booking’s recent positive reviews, transparent pricing, and extensive integrations make it the stronger, more dependable option. Levart’s limited recent data and support reviews suggest it’s a riskier choice unless your distribution strategy demands its unique unlimited channels feature.

How extensive is this company's reach and resourcing?
