Automation

Streamlined

Hoteliers often highlight the automation features of Freetobook's Hotel Management Software as a standout aspect. They appreciate the system's ability to automate various tasks, including guest messaging, booking processes, and data management. The automation of messages before, during, and after the stay is particularly valued for streamlining communication and saving time. This automated communication also helps avoid double bookings by consolidating direct and OTA bookings in one system. The software's functionality in automating billing tasks and integrating seamlessly with various payment systems is praised for enhancing operational efficiency. Overall, the automation capabilities are considered to significantly reduce manual tasks and errors, contributing to a more efficient workflow.

... Free to Book - Personally we would like to thank everyone at FTB for offering such a brilliant range of options to date for accommodation providers. The control it allows us to manage our booking system is superb – especially with the extra optionals available - it has allowed us to move to a completely different and successful business model . Also being able to channel each room individually – gives 100 % control on how we wish to market ourselves and have zero double booking scenarios. The retention of data – and being able to pull up repeat clients when we receive telephone enquiries .

... Freetobook is an impressive property management system and it is very intuitive and easy to use. One of the main features I believe is that the basic product along with direct bookings are free out of the box. That can be a great attraction for small operations. Its channel manager also has a fixed low monthly fee and allows for multiple channels all for one low monthly fee after an initial setup fee. You can add channels like Booking.com, Expedia, Agoda, Air bnb, Hostel world among others. You can set availability overall or individually for each channel. You can also add a surcharge for OTA channels so you don't loose out money on their commissions. Guest communication is streamlined as well with the reputation ...

The control it allows us to manage our booking system is superb – especially with the extra optionals available - it has allowed us to move to a completely different and successful business model . Also being able to channel each room individually – gives 100 % control on how we wish to market ourselves and have zero double booking scenarios. The retention of data – and being able to pull up repeat clients when we receive telephone enquiries . Whilst Messenger – provides the ultimate in customer service in keeping the guest informed at all points of the booking process from start to finish – and also with pre-populated templates for the majority of questions we receive allows for instant response. One way we use messenger is that when we are ready for incoming guests – although we state Check In From 4pm - on all our prior messaging and website - when we are ready – we ping to daily arrivals – Your Room is now ready for Check In as and when we can. Lots of guests really appreciate that including the AA Inspector. Messenger again allows you to bring your business to a much higher ...

We love the professional presentation and simple management tools it provides our digital on line presence. I always felt once you made the decision to trade on line with potential customers across the globe you need every tool available to trade against the big players, starting with a secure website incorporating your digital availability, of course next was a digital Diary, a channel manager , an online payment system, then came room price Genie ensuring while remaining competitive within your market place you maximised your revenue per activity daily in the local market place. As GDPR took hold and limits access to data a break through came with API communication via free to book messenger delivering your professional messages to your mutual Guests via the OTA platform if necessary, open communication and automated information flow ensuring all reservations run smooth. Now that reviews are less popular as every one is asked to review every experience every day most opt to review none, the development of reputation suite again allows professional communication with past guests automatically even follow up communication seeking additional reviews if the first was good. I am truly amazed that we can avail of all the add on modules and room price genie and access to all this technology for around £15 a week, ensuring, managed availability, an electronic ...

I wanted to change the type of a tax but what it ended up doing was remove the old tax from all reservations in past and future, and only applied the new tax from the day of update. This made the old reservations showing a balance which needed more maneuvers to fix at which point I gave up. I think a way to preview ...

... I think this system works very well for the most part. One small detail (that may have a soution that I have not found): It should be possible to drag down, not only sideways, when adding a booking. In other words, it should be easier to add a multi-room booking, not just multi-night bookings. I know you can add rooms once the booking is made, but it could be even easier. Furthermore, more languages could be supported. Perhaps this is something that you could solve through a combination of artificially intelligent services and allowing your customers support you in the process through feedback on the quality of the various languages supported. I realize your main markets probably are very well supported by the languages you already provide, but this might be an affordable way of increasing your global presence. Another issue is the fact that your embeddable ...

... It's a great price for budget accommodation, and is extremely easy to use, which is very important to our business. I own a small pub in Outback Australia, and it's important that it is easy to use. When we are busy, we are very busy, so it's important that it is simple for staff, with minimal training. In fact it's easy enough that some staff have been able to work it out without any training, which is tops. It works well, and has good features that are more then what you pay for. I have worked with other systems that are much more expensive, and this has most of the bells and whistles that you need, without the accompanying price tag. They also have extra ...

User Interface

Functional

Hoteliers often find the user interface of Freetobook's Hotel Management Software to be highly intuitive and user-friendly, with easy navigation through menus and features. The visual design, while not the most modern, remains clear and functional, allowing users to manage tasks efficiently without unnecessary distractions. While the responsiveness of the platform is generally quick, it can experience minor lags. Despite the ease of use, some wish for more customizability in terms of dashboards and widgets. Users appreciate the clarity with which information is presented, making data interpretation straightforward. The software is reportedly easy enough for new staff to pick up quickly, though advanced users might desire additional training to leverage all features fully. Mobile compatibility is highlighted as an area for improvement, as the software can be challenging to navigate on smaller screens. Overall, the user interface meets the needs of most small accommodation providers effectively but could benefit from enhancements in modern design aesthetics and mobile versatility.

... Fantastic digital drivers for accommodation sector As a tiny 5 bedroom B&B have used each new free to book module as they became available over past 14 years. We love the professional presentation and simple management tools it provides our digital on line presence. I always felt once you made the decision to trade on line with potential customers across the globe you need every tool available to trade against the big players, starting with a secure website incorporating your digital availability, of course next was a digital Diary, a channel manager , an online payment system, then came room price Genie ensuring while remaining competitive within your market place you maximised your revenue per activity daily in the local market place. As GDPR took hold and limits access to data a break through came with API communication via free to book messenger delivering your professional messages to your mutual Guests via the OTA platform if necessary, open communication and automated information flow ensuring all reservations run smooth. Now that reviews are less popular as every one is asked to review every experience every day most opt to review none, the development of reputation suite again allows professional communication with past guests automatically even follow up communication seeking additional reviews if the first was good. I am truly amazed that we can avail of all the add on modules and room price genie and access to all this technology for around £15 a week, ensuring, managed availability, an electronic diary, many reports, professionalism ...

... Freetobook is an impressive property management system and it is very intuitive and easy to use. One of the main features I believe is that the basic product along with direct bookings are free out of the box. That can be a great attraction for small operations. Its channel manager also has a fixed low monthly fee and allows for multiple channels all for one low monthly fee after an initial setup fee. You can add channels like Booking.com, Expedia, Agoda, Air bnb, Hostel world among others. You can set availability overall or individually for each channel. You can also add a surcharge for OTA channels so you don't loose out money on their commissions. Guest communication is streamlined as well with the reputation suite package. You can reach out to and respond to guests from all channels. You can also setup automated and templated emails to your guests which they can receive at multiple point ...

-UK telephone support, which is always understandable. -The system is broken down into sections, so that I am only paying for what I am using. - Being able to add the OTA commissions onto OTA bookings really helps to keep our costs down.
