Automation

Assisted

Hoteliers often highlight Freetobook's automation capabilities as a significant benefit for managing reservations and communications. The system effectively automates tasks like automated messaging to guests before, during, and after their stay, greatly reducing the need for manual intervention. This automation frees up time for accommodation providers by simplifying the booking process, ensuring that double bookings are avoided by automatically closing reserved rooms, and integrating with various channels and OTAs to manage bookings efficiently. Automated email notifications are sent for new bookings, and the platform's ability to link directly with payment processors like Stripe allows for straightforward handling of deposits. These features streamline operations, making it easier for small businesses to manage bookings without the complexity and labor of manual processes.

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.

Integrations

Connected

Hoteliers often highlight the effectiveness of FreetoBook’s Channel Manager when discussing integrations. Users appreciate the system's ability to consistently sync with common platforms like OTAs without technical issues. The range of integrations is broad, including Google Vacation Rentals, which users find particularly powerful compared to standard OTAs. Ease of integration is noted as a key strength, with many hoteliers expressing satisfaction with the seamless connection to multiple systems and the minimal effort required to maintain these integrations. Additionally, the reliability of these integrations appears to be a significant advantage, reducing the likelihood of double bookings by automatically updating availability across all channels. This robustness in integration capabilities provides hoteliers with confidence in managing their bookings efficiently, ensuring that their operations run smoothly without the frustration of syncing errors or complex setup processes.

... 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 . 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 ...

... The thing I like best is that when I go to bed in America, I wake up in the morning and there, already waiting for me, is the detailed answer to some burning question I have asked. FreeToBook software is simple enough to be easy to use, but clever enough to be exactly what we need. And in a personable way, FTB does so many things to help us, even little businesses such as ours, in our battle with the big search engines and the commissioned booking sites. Calling them to fix a problem is like calling the moon and talking to robots. It is a David vs. Goliath situation! You have helped make us the #1 B&B for six years in Historic Charleston, SC, which is the #1 visitor destination in America, and one of the top 10 destinations IN THE WORLD. We are small but we are mighty, thanks to your wisdom and your support. And you continue to offer new features, such as controlling and modifying the rates we send to the huge booking sites such as Booking.com. To us, it feels like a genuine ...

... I would like to be able to take notes about the people who visit so that when they call again or come for a return stay, I can refresh my memory about their lives, our conversations, things they particularly liked, attractions they visited, their breakfast choices, etc. Just add a box for us to type in and let us save our comments. I would also prefer that guests are asked for their MOBILE phone numbers; a home phone is useless when they are on the road traveling. I would also like a box that requests the first name of each person in the group. I would also like a box requesting their STREET ...

... 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 ...

... We have been using FreeToBook Channel Manager for over a year now. Customer Support was exceptional and had us up and running in a couple of days. Previously we had been managing our channel diaries manually. FreeToBook automates most of the processes and saves considerable time as well as reducing the likelihood of double bookings. The system is very easy to use and had excellent functionality with links to all major OTA systems, scheduled ...

User Interface

Functional

Hoteliers often find the user interface of FreeToBook's Channel Manager to be intuitive and user-friendly, particularly appreciating its ease of navigation. The interface is noted for clearly presenting information, which makes it accessible for first-time users without requiring extensive training. Although some users feel the design could benefit from a modern update, efforts like the introduction of Bloom pages are addressing these concerns. The mobile compatibility of the platform is a point of improvement, as users mention challenges with navigating on small screens and express a desire for a dedicated mobile app. While customization options are appreciated, further enhancements in personalizing the booking page, including larger font options, are suggested by users seeking greater alignment with their own branding.
