May 18, 2021

5.0

Have used this for a number of years and am happy with the ease of use. I like the keep it simple approach.

Pros

Very easy to update and review calendar.

Cons

I am not really a tech person so my capabilities are limited. It might offer this option but I have not had the time or ability to see if it synchs with other software calendars that I have.

### "Great Option"

May 11, 2021

5.0

Online reservations are easy for customers to find available dates and that saves me time on the phone. :) I'm also able to check the calendar when I'm not in the office.

Pros

Once everything was initially set up, it's very easy to keep everything updated. Customers using the product haven't had any issues.

Cons

When I need to update something (mainly comments or policy changes), I have a hard time finding where to go to make those changes.

Reason for choosing Availability Online

Don't remember. Did a lot of research at the time, but once I chose Availability Online, I didn't keep the research.

### "AOl gets the job done!"

May 12, 2021

5.0

See the block above. I think that my comments for the most part belong here instead.

Pros

I don’t use many of the features, however the ones I do use, receiving requests for reservations and managing fill dates are simple to use and get the job done. I’m not one for fancy technology, just need the basics. The folks at AOL, have always been available to answer my questions or to fix problems. I like being able to contact a real person.

Cons

It would be nice to be able to link Paypal to the site so that it would be offered as another method of payment. Also, perhaps having some how to online tutorials showing the different features if the program would be helpful as well.

Review Source

May 24, 2021

Thank you for the great review Debra. Agreed. In addition to the PDF user guide we offer, online tutorials / videos highlighting the different features would probably help many users. We'll look into that.

The service we have with Availability Online is a good one because their product can be accessed from our website which in turn gives our people an easy way to fill out a reservation form on a secured site.

I really don't have any complaints on the service.

### "Basic system"

May 17, 2021

5.0

Pros

Easy to make updates as we need to. We need to be able to manually make changes and this was one of the few that allowed us to do that. The price keeps us here vs creating our our table online.

Cons

The url if the calendar doesn't match our website so I think it's confusing to some users

May 11, 2021

Good

Pros

Online bookings that come from my website.

Cons

The only negative is not always easy to contact for help. You do not list the property on the email we receive so we have to go a step further to find it. Time factor

May 20, 2021

3.0

Customer service is great. They are very responsive and easy to work with.

Pros

The link with my website and reservation format.

Cons

1\. That I have to manually enter other reservations made via Airbnb and VRBO on the calendar. The link from Availability Online only goes in one direction. 2. I am not able to alter or update an existing reservation such as change the dates. 3. The program does not process credit cards. I believe that this would probably be too complicated to do....??
