“Full-service solution for complex rentals”

Pros

Handling 16 properties, the full-service package was absolutely the right choice for us. It supported us all the way through, from the initial design to getting the functionality where it needed to be. We also brought in someone to help write the website copy. Out of all the web design options we looked at, this was the only team that really understood how to connect with our PMS and keep up with the constant stream of new technology in our industry. We're very happy we didn't choose an independent freelance web designer instead.

Cons

Getting everything right was definitely a process and it took about four months before the site was where we wanted it. After launch, we still ran into a few other issues that needed to be addressed. Their help system can also be slow, with resolutions sometimes taking a week or longer. That said, they do seem to be making improvements and we're looking forward to the new 3.0 site they're developing.

“Complete direct booking support”

Pros

“Hospitality support that delivers”

Pros

Running a hospitality business feels much more manageable with this team because they've built in pretty much everything you could need. It's clear the founder really understands the industry from firsthand hosting experience and that comes through in the way the service is set up. The support team is fantastic too, always available when you need advice or help. Our IT website is fast and brings in plenty of traffic for direct enquiries which has been a big plus. The IT training also covers everything needed for social media and growing the business in a big way. The challenges are especially well done since the team guide you step by step, with ambassadors there to support you throughout. Best of all, they're fun and simple to follow even if tech isn't really your thing. I'm genuinely proud to be an IT member.

Getting my first direct booking for $14,000 felt amazing and the best part was not having to wait months to actually receive the money.

Only downside was that I needed to come up with my own copywriting.

“perfect relevant solution”

“Highly customizable professional templates”

Pros

Right away, the template gives off a very polished, professional look. It also lets me customize just about everything I want which has been a huge plus.

Cons

With that much flexibility, the setup can feel a bit challenging at times but the support they offer is there and really helps you work through it.

“Personal guidance with fresh insights”

It feels personal because you're talking to a real person, not a robot and the information is always up to date with the latest trends. The explanations are broken down step by step so anyone can keep up easily and the group members as well as the IT ambassadors are genuinely very helpful.

Cons

Can't think of any downsides. Everything has been really good.

With this, we were able to put together a professional-looking, fully functional website without needing much effort. It cut our web development time down dramatically which was especially important for our two-person business.

They also keep rolling out new features and added functionality which helps them stay ahead of competitors while giving existing customers even more value.

Cons

Nothing to mention here.

“Direct booking success”

Pros

The direct booking features have been really helpful and the fun challenges make the DB Marketing side feel engaging and enjoyable.

Cons

Don't have any real complaints. If anything, the course could use a bit more structure but it's not any less organized than other courses I've taken.

“Affordable support for travel websites”

Pros

Creating an online presence for vacation travelers is a lot more easy with this software. It's affordable, simple to work with and the support team has been excellent.

Cons

My only regret is not signing up for it much earlier.

“Strong community”

Pros

Being part of the wider community has been a huge plus, with everyone willing to help one another and the knowledge shared by team is truly unmatched.

Cons

At this point, I can't see any downsides to it.

Pros

It gives hospitality owners everything they need to succeed at marketing any type of accommodation business. The platform includes detailed training, ready-to-use templates, full guides and websites that are simple to build.

Cons

No complaints at all, there isn't a single thing about it that I dislike.

“Friendly training with support”
