"Helps different businesses in doing bookings and manage customer appointments"
4.5/5
What do you like best about Smoobu?

Smoobu is a completely web based platform that can easily be installed in android, windows and ios devices the software helps in sending the reminders and confirmed booking messages to our customers also it helps in listing our services to different platforms and websites. The main benefit of using it is that it helps is collecting all the due amount from our previous customers by sending automated messages. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Smoobu?

Most of the features of this platform are designed for property rentals and it might be possible that small businesses or businesses from unique domains don't get much benefit after installing it, also if all the features are not utilized properly of this platform then the subscription amount is really high and doesn't give good ROI. So, the users need to understand their needs properly before installing it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"A hub aligned with software for all rental operations"
4/5
What do you like best about Smoobu?

Smoobu is a centrally aligned tool which helps in completing all the operations that are required for multiple property renting. It also shows all the real-time data of current bookings on their dashboard. It also saves us a lot of time for visiting our website again and again and change the prices of the properties according to market demand. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Smoobu?

When they have server issues the booking constantly fails which sometimes leads to multiple booking by a single customer and it really creates chaos in the peak tourist seasons when booking rates are higher and all properties are already pre booked. Rest everything is good with this platform according to my user experience. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Giving properties on rent is now easier with the help of smoobu"
4/5
What do you like best about Smoobu?

I have lots of properties in different locations of the country and mostly it is a challenge for me to find right renters and manage the regular tasks associated with them like schedules, bookings, guest experience etc but after installing smoobu I am able to manage this challenges quite well and within minutes. Now I am able to connect with the guests much easily and brief them the property details. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Smoobu?

According to me smoobu is mainly designed for short term bookings and if someone is looking for proper long-term renters then this tool might not be that helpful as it does not provide any feature to know brief information about the guests book through it. Adding some personal info related questions on this platform might help users like us to give our property on rent for a longer duration and to reliable tenants.

"SMOOBU, good support, simple and effective"
5/5
What do you like best about Smoobu?

Excellent technical support, easy migration from Airbnb, complete help desk, access security, and acceptable price. Integrations, the website it generates, and the most notable is the Guest Guide and scheduled messages. Usability: really the interface is clean and improving little by little. Implementation: Very easy, easily imports from AIRBNB for example. Links with the main platforms. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Smoobu?

The billing section needs improvements, especially in the management of additional items. Furthermore, the web edition does not allow for complete adaptation to the desired aesthetics, pre-programmed mixes need to be able to create more triggers on different days for the same mix.

"Might be fine for someone who lives in Europe but not the U.S."
0/5
What do you like best about Smoobu?

Less expensive than some other programs (you get what you pay for). The one good thing about this program was the guest app it provided which was nice. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Smoobu?

The customer service for this product is terrible. It is difficult to speak to anyone by phone and if you are able to finally get through it has to be during European hours so if you can't talk first thing in the morning you are out of luck. Many features on the included booking website are geared towards Europeans and cannot be fixed. For example, Sq meters instead of sq ft, the format for the date is day/month/year, the website has the word domicile as a tab which should say home but they have yet to fix, I never could get the website to work properly for direct bookings (whenever I tried certain dates it said that those dates weren't open even though they were). I also could not get PayPal to work with the booking website and when I asked customer service for help with they asked me to send them a screenshot of the problem (that's usually what they wanted for everything). Lastly, the most frustrating thing about this program is that after the free trial I decided to pay for a year upfront and now that I have discovered how much I don't like the program and want to cancel they won't give me a prorated refund.

Response from Maria Roldan of Smoobu

Hi Heidi, Thank-you for your review. It is disappointing to see you reviewed us negatively due to your expectations not matching our level of service. We offered our trial for free before deciding, but you chose to purchase a year. Of course, you also could have chosen the monthly plan to avoid this. We have many happy USA based customers who understand support is not 24/7, nor does it need to be.

It’s unfortunate about your experience, but in the past 12 months we made many releases for USA standards, it just took a little time.

We wish you all the best!

Kind regards,

The Team from Smoobu

"Great app with lots of features"
4/5
What do you like best about Smoobu?

It is easy to use and setup once you know how.

There is plenty of help although sometimes difficult to find what you are looking for.

Support is great and friendly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Smoobu?

Support is great but can be too slow at times

When you have a problem with a booking or a sync issue. You need help immediately. And this is not available. The live chat was great but has been removed Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Many functions, but many issues which make this software impossible to use"
0/5
What do you like best about Smoobu?

Many functions - channel manager, website builder, affordable price for this package Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Smoobu?

There is a major issue with their customer service. I have a ticket opened for 7 months with follow-ups from my side each month and promises from Smoobu side. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Maria Roldan of Smoobu

Hi, Thank-you for your comments.

However it is sad to see this review here rated so badly. The ticket in question related to a Latvian language release, which is not a technical issue but a request. It took us some months, and we did make the release! However this review remained.

If you wish to review us fairly, we certainly would appreciate it! Rating 1 star just for this matter is sad to see after all the work we do. Wishing you all the best.

Kind regards,

The Team from Smoobu.
