### "fairly easy"

April 2, 2018

5.0

Pros

I like that I can easily see my trip offerings and make real time adjustments to the bookings. I also like that I can set up different campaigns for promotions and discounts.

Cons

I am trying to find a better way to book combo trips that offer two different activities. I did have difficulty viewing the training videos because my internet was too slow.

October 30, 2018

5.0

Pros

It is a great software for my scheduling as a tour boat Captain. Great to use as the app on my phone & also even better on my computer.

### "Xola is most useful app of my business"

June 11, 2014

5.0

Xola has helped me out hugely in these two departments: (1) Collecting $$ from multiple guests and (2) Managing all of the dates, details, and reservations of all of those guests. I have nothing bad to say about Xola...it has completely replaced my wall sized calendar and folders upon folders of excel sheets. Also, they always got back to me right quick when I was setting up my account. Super easy. Keep it up!

Pros

Can check my company's reservations, schedule, guest details/notes, from anywhere any time. No more wall sized-calendar. Super easy to receive money from many many redundant, but unique, guest bookings.

Cons

None

### "Great staff!"

July 28, 2017

5.0

Pros

I like the on-boarding team that set things up for us and customer support. I also like how review of the time customers choose and payment info is on the same screen. I like the look of the software that customers see.

Cons

I cannot comment on value for money at the moment because we are part of a match-price deal. I don't like that how a customer paid is not listed on the dashboard. It only says "paid" or "collect balance". I would prefer to see if a Groupon code was used on the dashboard screen so I could redeem the code straight from there.

### "Overall, my experience using Xola has been great. It's an easy system to use. "

March 31, 2018

5.0

Pros

What I like most about this software is that it is easy to use. I can easily look at reservations and the notes option makes it easy for me to view information about the reservation.

Cons

What I like least about this software is that sometimes the loading takes long. I have also had issues with the software not saving changes I previously made to a reservation.

### "Xola Booking software is great"

January 4, 2019

5.0

Without a great online booking platform you loose a huge portion of business! Xola helps create an online business infrastructure! They are great at handling the customer payment and provide quick money transfers as well!

Pros

The software is very easy to use, and has fantastic customer engagement emails; reminders, and followup etc

Cons

It does have some customization limitations, but if you are patient you can find acceptable workarounds!

### "Xola on line booking"

November 11, 2016

4.0

Xola has provided us a valuable asset with their booking system. They immediately notify us and upon a booking. the captains once assigned a tour are notified of the tour time and type of tour.The customer is sent a receipt along with directions and faq's. We are also sent an alert hours ahead of the day the tours are scheduled. We find that the support team extremely accommodating and quick to reply. The funds are transferred into our bank account on a daily biases. There could be some improvements in the software system. It does not automatically update changes. We find find some things somewhat confusing to make changes. However, support always comes through to help us. Most likely my problems with the system is because I am not a millennium baby and not the greatest with software.

June 23, 2017

Pros

Using XOLA for multiple clients in the Tourism & Recreation field. Not only do I like working with XOLA myself, but all our clients seem pretty happy. As I started my job at my marketing firm about a month ago there was some things I didn't quite understand about XOLA. Got on the live support chat and was immediately helped!

### "Revolutionizing The Booking Experience "

June 10, 2015

5.0

Xola is a fantastic platform for providing booking solutions for our company. My experience thus far has been absolutely wonderful with the entire team from the CEO on down. Even though this is a fairly new company, they are setting a new standard in the front end experience for our customers and essentially making the booking process as simple as can be. As the software continues to be developed, I am certain the the features and dashboard will continue to improve so the functionality on the back end will be even better for the experience providers like us. This will help our company run more efficiently too. We are absolutely thrilled to be working with such an innovative, customer centric, and trailblazing software company! I am certain that anyone who gives this software a try will be beyond pleasantly surprised. I highly recommend them.

### "XOLA Rocks!"

March 13, 2017

5.0

I have used numerous online event registration software platforms and XOLA is by far the best. It is easy to set up and adapt to the multiple kinds of events we offer. Its streamlined registration process makes it easy for customers to choose an event, register and pay. There is also an abandoned cart feature. Both you and your customers are notified via an email when a registration is not complete. I was amazed at the lost sales captured using this feature. The Smart Waiver integration allows us to see who has completed their form on the event roster. Check in is a snap on a Smart Phone or tablet. The workflow is automated with reminder, follow-up and survey emails. There is also Facebook Integration. Most of our customers now register form our Facebook page! I cant imagine stepping back to other platforms. You wont be disappointed if you choose XOLA!

### "Xola's 5-Star Booking & Customer Info Management System"

February 9, 2014

5.0

A couple years ago, we realized that we needed an improved booking and customer information management system to improve the efficiency of our guest's booking experience and to save us time managing our sea kayak tour & expedition business. We looked at every system available before settling on Xola. These guys are absolutely top-notch and we are so glad to have found them. The Xola system is very easy to learn and use, and it provides an outstanding, positive experience for our customers. In fact, since adopting the Xola system our business has grown considerably. Pricing for the booking system is quite reasonable, and scaled to the size of our business. We highly recommend any adventure travel business owner who is looking for an improved system to be sure to give Xola a look-over. It will be time very well spent and you'll be glad you did it.

October 27, 2017

5.0

It saves tons of time during the booking process!

Pros

Xola staff were able to customize the software to specifically fit our programs. I like the fact that once one program is booked, any conflicting appointments are immediately marked unavailable.

Cons

So far the only issue I'm having is that due to company policy, I haven't been able to sync the calendar to my work calendar, but that is an issue with my company that they're trying to find a way to work around.

### "Xola - a great solution for online reservations and customer management"

January 17, 2014

5.0

My company started using Xola for online reservations and customer management a little over a year and a half ago. At the time I was apprehensive to switch to a new system because I wasn't sure how quickly or easily my staff and I would be able to adapt to a new reservation platform. I soon discovered that the system is very intuitive and easy to figure out. When I did run into questions, the team at Xola was fast to respond with answers and solutions. I have been especially impressed with their eagerness to seek out suggestions for improvement and, secondly, implement them to perfection. In our business, there seems to always be customizations and bizarre situations that require a lot of flexibility within a system. In each of these occurrences, the team at Xola has met the challenge. I'm very happy to be using this system and encourage anyone shopping around to look into Xola.

### "Nifty and smooth but it could be improved to be more user-friendly"

August 11, 2017

4.0

It's fairly easy to use. My boss uses it to organize times and payment for our escape room bookings.

Pros

The overall layout looks very clean like a polished outline. The organization of details (which parts matter the most like costs, names, and times) is very well-thought out. The features are easy to find.

Cons

It's difficult to make adjustments or last minute changes that do NOT get saved. If you want to update something, it's response time is slow or it does not acknowledge the change at all. Also, it's annoying how clicking on one booking appointment suddenly changes the whole format without an option of going back. I have to refresh the whole web page to go back to the general layout of bookings for the week.

### "Xola is the best decision that I have made for my escape room business."

September 12, 2017

5.0

Pros

I like the software because it does nearly everything I need it too on its own and gives me the time I need to work on my business. I like the company because they not only stand behind their product, but their customer support more than pays for the monthly costs

Cons

Honestly, I have yet to find a fault in the software. The only complaints I may have is at my own inability to correctly use all of the features that Xola has and not watching the training videos sooner.

Representatives made the onboarding process super easy! They transferred all of my customers, promos, bookings etc.

### "Simple but lacking"

March 28, 2015

3.0

By and large, the system functions effectively but has issues. I only gave three stars for "Overall" because the system lacks necessary features for my operation and has limitations of use. Three stars for "Ease of Use" for the same reasons as above. Plus we experience glitches within the system. Four stars for Customer Service rather than five stars is not a reflection of inadequate service. We all have the "fifth" star to constantly strive for. I and my staff spoke with Ms Kelsey Gan yesterday and we feel she will address all of the above referenced issues, questions or comments we had for her regarding the system. I thank you for the opportunity to express our concerns. Adios, Doyle
