bookingkit reviews

Bookingkit is handy and reliable!

Opmerkingen: It is really the perfect solution for my business!

Pluspunten:

The dashboard is very straight forward and presents a broad array of functions in a very clear way. The product is easy to use and allows you to start offering online bookings within minutes. Been in contact with customer support many times and they always were fast and helpful!

Minpunten:

As far as I understood, there are some minor restrictions in terms of customising the plug-in. Also, flexible vouchers can be tricky, but that's advanced stuff!

Good, but a little expensive

Opmerkingen: I started with bookingkit because they have a great checkout UX for our site visitors. They are very friendly when you start and they will help you a lot. Pricing it's not so good compared to other similar solutions. That was a huge factor to leave.

Pluspunten:

It's very intuitive and you also have info boxes to understand how to do things. You also have a dedicated team that is willing to help you. But the best part is the interface for your client. At the moment, it's the best you can get with this kind of tool. It has everything the client need to feel comfortable with the ticket purchase: great design, several payment options, safe environment. Also the bookingkit team can customize according to your needs. Integrations with OTAs are easy as 1 click.

Minpunten:

The back end seems a little old fashion, but because it is intuitive and works well, you don't care. The integrations with OTA are easy but there could be more options. I just stopped using BookingKit because it was a little expensive and also because one of the employees was rude when I complaint about bug on their side that they took more than 1 week to solve and after insisting a lot.

BE CAREFUL with trial accounts, they charge you!

Opmerkingen: I opened a trial account with bookingkit. While testing I found out that many functionalities are not activated within the trial account, so I clicked on activating the more advanced functionalites, e.g. resource management, which I needed to test as well. Some days after entering some test bookings, I received an invoice for bookings I made via bookingkit. I was surprised and contacted bookingkit to let them know that I only have a test account and they should please cancel the invoice.
What I had to learn then was a joke to me: by activating the resource management functionalities, they reverted my trial account into a payable acount! Without any clear hint or pop-up, they just do it.
I contacted bookingkit, but they are just not willing to cancel the invoice .... I am now in a very frustrating email conversation with them to try to get rid of this annoying invoice. Instead of behaving customer friendly and understanding that trial accounts chould not be charged, they sending me invoice reminders and refuse to cancel the invoice.
Usually if something like this happens already during the trial phase, one can imagine what happens if you are a real customer ...
So my recommendation is: fingers away from bookingkit trial accounts!
As this case is ongoing actualy: I will post another comment once I found out if bookingkit continues to enforce payment of the unjustified invoice, or if they understand that charging for trial accounts is a no-go.

Pluspunten:

Looked promising in the beginning, until I had to learn that they are charging for trial accounts

Minpunten:

Bad customer service, lack of functionalities re resource management

Theater with bookingkit

Opmerkingen: Overall my experience ( i own 2 accounts) is really ok. The service and communication works quick and as well they find mostly a solution for problems. The service and quick response is more important for me then evera options.

Pluspunten:

I like the easy to use software. Very easy to integrate to other platforms and mostly the function is 100% perfect. For customers also for me and my business.

Minpunten:

For a theater there are more events to integrate, then for a sport event. We have many different events. At the moment its not possible to integrate a place management that customer can chose their seats... Sometime its not easy to find the right event in the lists to integrate in. the websites because of much scrolling - and its not really easy to delete a event, just overwrite... Also to add a booking service charge to the customers at the checkout would be help us to make the price more transparent to the customers and our clients and arts...

Is good

Pluspunten:

The many possibilities of setting, the support.

Minpunten:

The voucher that the client receive is not good for the Italian style

Best booking software we know

Opmerkingen: Coordinating our cooking classes in our several stores has always been an enormous administration effort for us. For example the decentral payoff of all the cash payments. Bookingkit conducts this all in one software. Now, the payment comfortably takes place via our website. In that way, we now have less expenses with our payoffs. The coordinators and myself are very pleased with bookingkit.

Nice Booking System.

Opmerkingen: Its a nice software that will help you to sell tickets as a small activity operator and save work.

Pluspunten:

The software has a good looking and clear customers friendly front. As well the back office is easy to operate for staff members.

Minpunten:

It's great for selling tickets for events and courses but not so flexible for rentals and private tour options.

Very good service

Pluspunten:

Very good booking system, really smart and easy to use with the telephone

Minpunten:

Sometimes has some problems to connect and goes on stand by

Highly effective tool and great customer success team

Opmerkingen: We do regularly events in our muesli shops, where we sell individually designed organic mueslis and porridge and let our customers try new products. Before we used the tool Bookingkit, we had a lot of organizational effort: people called to ask if there are still vacancies, we had to send confirmation mails, manage our calendar of events, control the payments and so on and so on. With Bookingkit everything runs smoothly and saves us plenty of time we can effectively use for actually preparing and realizing our tasting events.

Pluspunten:

- saves us lots of time - relatively easy to handle after getting the introduction from the very helpful custmer service team - a lot of helpful features like voucher integration - almost real-time payment

Minpunten:

- quite complex: when we started we did not oversee all funtions and were a bit lost. but their customer service is super-helpful!

Not an easy or client friendly booking system

Pluspunten:

The customer support tried very hard to fix all bugs, problems and incompatibilities with MAC and general issues but in the end the negative outweighed the positive and issues were simply never solved.

Minpunten:

For an expensive system that does not allow you to personalise your pdf invoices easily, vouchers were not very nice and the look of the booking kit system that is sold to you in the beginning is simply not client friendly (too many bugs). If you want it to look decent you need to pay for someone to do an API integration if you dont have in-house programmers.

Our experience with bookingkit

Opmerkingen: In collaboration with our partner bookingkit, we can offer an efficient software to our cooking schools. With bookingkit and its easy-to-handle administration, we can save a lot of time for our clients. That way, they can focus on their core business cooking.

Pluspunten:

Offers all functions we need. Very helpful insights in marketing & sales and finding new customers by reaching out to relevant platforms

Minpunten:

Sometimes we could not find important functions as they were "hidden". Bookingkit could give us more regularly updates when they change or improve something in their software.

Great software, some improvements for easy use

Opmerkingen: cool

Pluspunten:

Easy to use and set up, mind relieving regarding the booking and follow up of those. Great functionnalities

Minpunten:

The help page is not available have to contact the support very often Few uneasy things on the use of the interface (calendar comes back to today all the time), booking details hard to read regarding number of pax Unable yet to set a minimum number of person for an event to take place (if one person on the event I have to cancel myself)

Review about bookingkit

Pluspunten:

bookingkit is easy to use and have the most Functions for the money

Minpunten:

bookingkit has no function to block dates with no costs

Positive experience

Pluspunten:

Price is reasonable. Statistics are good. Easy interface.

Minpunten:

Hard to reach tech assistance, long attendance for the reply

Great support!

Opmerkingen: I save a lot of time and money, my customers enjoy a great comfort.

Pluspunten:

It's a powerful tool and the support is unbelievable good!

Minpunten:

A multiple selection when processing appointments of one day could be helpful. But this is very specific and would be only a good addon.

Good software to sell our cooking lessons

Opmerkingen: Not being connected to a CRM

Pluspunten:

Easiness to use, very good customer care

Minpunten:

It is a little costly as "cost per resevation" if the value of the lesson you are selling is moderate

easy and efficent program and staff

Pluspunten:

Really nice how it's involved in my website. Really easy and in accordance with my website style. Also, communication with other tourist OTA is important for me to manage only one agenda. The Staff, CSRs were really kind to me! Thanks, guys!

Minpunten:

I think it misses a title when I manage my products, but they give the possibility to tell them. Even if they don't change the view, I like the possibility to communicate the problem on the software in a clear way. Maybe they will adjust it in the future

Pros and cons

Opmerkingen: Experience is greate,
price is not
i would give 5 out of 10

Pluspunten:

1) easy to use 2) a lot of statistical data 3) a big range of different functions 4) good support 5) user-friendly dashboard

Minpunten:

the price is unreasonably high, monthly payment + booking fee + online payment fee.....seriously, why. For another website I am using bookun which has a lot of functions and features as well, and they charge 0.02 cents per client that's it. I will use bookingkit for some month more because i like the software (dashboard), but i am pretty sure i will switch for bookun or other chipper platforms.
