Booking Management software for B&B - what's the best?

Post by centime »

Hi everyone, I have been asked to help a young couple, the daughter of my husband's lawyer and friend, to market and take the bookings for their B&B. What booking software would you suggest, works best and not too complicated, I use rentalbot for my cottage and villa rentals but B&B is quite different with 5 to 8 rooms to book. All help and suggestions appreciated, ask the experts that's my motto! :)

Hi Centime,

I've been using rentalbot too but for the past two or three weeks I've had serious problems opening the site. This is also affecting the calendar embedded in my own website. Have you had any problems lately?

Hi, we use webervations and have had no problems at all with it, and would recommend it. I had 3 months free (not sure if that offer is still on) so you can try it out and if you don't like it - no problem

Thanks Bruce looks good - been off line for a while with computer problems so hence the no show on the forum.

eRichard, who is a frequent contributor here, has a management system at http://holidayguestmanagement.com/ for £99 per year.

We have similar online management system at http://www.RentalReply.com that is priced also at about £99 - but our system is free for the first few months.
