NEW AI Review summary
Hoteliers like Freetobook for its ease of use and value-added services, aiding in both operational efficiency and cost-effectiveness. Its automated messaging, seamless channel management, and customizable booking engine support increasing revenues by avoiding double bookings and managing guest interactions efficiently. However, there is room for improvement in app functionality, reporting tools, and more intuitive booking processes.
