Hoteliers say

Freetobook is highly valued by small to medium-sized accommodations for its easy usability, no expensive fees, and effective channel management. It integrates well with multiple channels, allowing for simple price and reservation updates. Users appreciate its real-time room availability and the added flexibility of advertising rooms at lower prices. However, there's feedback for a modernized interface and the inclusion of more languages like Dutch.

I like most, that the channel manager is working effordlessly, that I can add an OTA surcharge, and that the pricing is amazingly fair, which helps us a lot after the last years of trouble with Covid and the political situation in Sri Lanka.
