Highly Recommend

Freetobook is a user-friendly and efficient booking system that stands out for its ease of use and seamless navigation. The platform makes managing bookings, adjusting availability, and updating information straightforward, even for individuals like me, with limited technical experience. There are ample training resources—videos, guides, and tutorials—available to help users make the most of the platform. What truly sets Freetobook apart, however, is its exceptional support team. Always on hand and quick to respond, the team provides personalised, reliable assistance. This level of service creates a real sense of partnership, where users feel supported and valued.

Market Leading Platform - Worth Using

I have used a number of other similar sector products, some said to be market leading but FreetoBook offers a much better, comprehensive, scalable platform. What I like is the structure, the commone sense approach, the excellent bite-sized tutorials. The company appears to be in touch with client needs and adjusts. If you are tired of your current application / platform, recommend, Sign up and have a play. It takes a little adjustment, I found, more because of the cumbersome previous applications I had to accommodate. But, once you get your head around this, it just works. The more you use the more built-in features you will discover. I sense it is more tailored towards hotel/guest house, but you can get it to work well for SC. As I said, I really like that as your business needs/confidence grow, you can scale other services. Lastly, not only is the product good, but I get a sense that the company culture is one of developing products that work for END USERS rather than the usual approach IT/IS professional approach of we know best. I am not easily pleased, but having been using a while, I am impressed.

Excellent from the start

FreetoBook has been excellent from the start. It was easy to set up, even for a non-techy like me. We have a small bed & breakfast and are trying to move away from costly OTAs. FreetoBook was easy to embed into our website. I did have a few questions/issues, and their customer service has been top-notch: responsive and helpful. Got our first website booking yesterday and the info they send on the guest is amazing. RECOMMEND without reservation (pun intended)

Easy to use as a business owner, professional and helpful. Constantly finding innovative ways to help ordinary mortals to improve our day-to-day business profile without masses of 'potential' analyses and reports that we never use. Guestappy is absolutely brilliant and so simple for owners and guests to use - groundbreaking and deserves an award!
