Hoteliers say

Hoteliers like Sabre/Synxis for its superior technology that enhances direct channel conversion and distribution reach, contributing to increased revenue. Its integration with multiple partners and stable system with minimal service interruptions are highly valued. However, some criticize the slow innovation on core platforms, cumbersome customer support, and tedious manual tasks. The platform excels in providing up-to-date booking engine enhancements and effective connectivity solutions.
