Property Manager Real Estate ### "Barefoot Support Team Rocks!" 5.0 Overall Rating 5.0 5.0 Ease of Use 5.0 5.0 Features 5.0 5.0 Customer Service 5.0 5.0 Likelihood to Recommend 10/10 March 26, 2025 What an incredible group of people to work with from training, implementation and solutions, the entire support staff have been fabulous. The system has made my job easier. I especially love the various reports which are helpful in daily assessment of income and expenses. Pros I have found the support team to be very responsive, professional, diligent in finding a solution (our model is a bit different) and knowledgeable. They are a pleasure to work with. Cons I learn in a linear fashion, so when training I prefer a straight forward approach, with bells and whistles shown after I have a handle on the basics. However, the short videos in Basecamp have been very helpful. I would love access to these in a quick list instead of lost in the vast library. Switched from [RDPWin](https://www.capterra.com/p/2443/RDPWin/) We needed an updated system that offered incredible support (check), ease of use (check), customized data reporting (check) and payment cross-referencing (check) Review source Incentivized review: software users are invited to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive for their time and effort.

Owner, CFO Hospitality ### "Its not just the product but the people behind it." 5.0 Overall Rating 5.0 5.0 Ease of Use 5.0 5.0 Features 4.0 4.0 Customer Service 5.0 5.0 Likelihood to Recommend 10/10 March 24, 2025 We made our decision to move to Barefoot in the Spring of 2020 at a time we thought business would be stagnant for a reasonable period of time – the best time to implement a new PMS. All of us in the vacation rental business know what happened next: vacation rentals exploded and it turned out to be the worst time to change PMS. Kudos to the Barefoot team for getting us implemented during that time! Pros Your PMS system is the “source of truth” for your property management business – the source from which most everything feeds. So, changing PMS systems is not an easy decision. The system itself is just part of the equation. The team behind it is even more important. The Barefoot team has been there from the beginning to support us. They understand the vacation rental business, they understand their product, they get to know their clients, and they make sure that even the smallest client never feels like a small fish in a big pond. Cons Integration with other vendor partners (i.e. channel managers, operational software) is a challenge. Would love to be able to pick any vendor partner and have them integrate with Barefoot but understand that it is a two way street. The first question we ask any potential vendor partner is: Do you integrate with Barefoot. Switched from [RMS](https://www.capterra.com/p/208354/RMS-Cloud/) We outgrew the system's capabilities. Very few integrations existed. Alternatives considered [Escapia](https://www.capterra.com/p/134081/Escapia/) [Streamline](https://www.capterra.com/p/89552/Streamline/) Reasons for choosing Barefoot The team behind the product - the attention they paid during the demo process and price value.

Barefoot has integrations with many systems and direct integrations with VRBO and AirBnB which is very helpful! Pros Barefoot employees listen and help make system better with our input. Cons Integration with other systems could be better.

Manager Hospitality ### "You will wish you changed sooner!" 5.0 Overall Rating 5.0 5.0 Ease of Use 5.0 5.0 Features 5.0 5.0 Customer Service 5.0 5.0 Likelihood to Recommend 10/10 March 24, 2025 Overall it's been excellent. From answering questions, customizing to what we need, they always have us as their priority and main interest. Pros Their customer service and willingness to listen to help with what you need. Cons If I had to say something it would be their housekeeping manager.

General Manager Hospitality ### "Conversion from Hotel based to Property Management based systems" 5.0 Overall Rating 5.0 5.0 Ease of Use 5.0 5.0 Features 5.0 5.0 Customer Service 5.0 5.0 Likelihood to Recommend 10/10 December 30, 2021 This is the 2nd time I've been in charge of converting from hotel to property management software in a business like ours(3rd time involved). This was one of the simplest to train my team on. A couple hours of basics and they were off and running. I can't say enough about the trainers and support at Barefoot. We have some quirky nuances about our business that the Barefoot team found easy to handle. In addition, the contacts I've made by purchasing Barefoot are priceless. Our website has a who new look and a seamless interface with our PMS. We have also partnered with RealTech marketing and Beyond pricing. Pros \*We're not functioning truly legally. We no longer worry that our Real Estate licenses may be in jeopardy \*There are soooo many bells and whistles to help our business that we've only scratched the surface Cons I'd like a meaty report writer. Our ownership likes analyses. Reasons for choosing Barefoot It allowed us to be more than we were when we were shopping. Review source Non-incentivized review: any software user can leave a review for any product listed on our site. All submitted reviews are subject to our verification process prior to publication. Response from Vendor January 7, 2022 Thanks Ken! Looking forward to many productive years of our partnership! CW Chris W. President Leisure, Travel & Tourism ### "Barefoot Stomps the Competition" 5.0 Overall Rating 5.0 5.0 Ease of Use 5.0 5.0 Features 5.0 5.0 Customer Service 5.0 5.0 Likelihood to Recommend 10/10 December 28, 2021 Exceptional - truly a wonderful experience. Pros The extremely user friendly interface that allows you to manipulate any information with ease. Cons There are some minor challenges like setting up letters to guest which could be more robust. The owner portal is a bit "flat" but works for owners. And the texting platform needs to be expanded. Reasons for choosing Barefoot Great team, excellent product Review source Non-incentivized review: any software user can leave a review for any product listed on our site. All submitted reviews are subject to our verification process prior to publication. Response from Vendor December 29, 2021 Thanks for your review Chris. We are excited about our partnership with you.

They are tremendously helpful and always have a solution. Pros Their team is well structured and made sure our team was heard when questions came up. They provide many resources to figure things out on your own. They are quick to resolve issues that arise. Cons Some of the reports I needed take a little while to export. Over time, that adds up. Reasons for choosing Barefoot Easy connectivity to third-party API Great support Onboarding commitment to ensure our team was trained Review source Incentivized review: software users are invited to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive for their time and effort.

AA April A. manager Hospitality ### "Fabulous" 5.0 Overall Rating 5.0 5.0 Ease of Use 4.0 4.0 Features 5.0 5.0 Customer Service 5.0 5.0 Likelihood to Recommend 10/10 August 20, 2020 I have enjoyed using this software. I am still learning new things all the time! A messenger of some type would be a great addition to those who are logged in. Pros The ease of use on the reservation side is fabulous. It is easy to make a reservation. Training is a breeze even for someone who has never taken one before. Cons There are many options with this software I just can't seem to figure them all out. I have referred this software to many others! Review source Incentivized review: software users are invited to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive for their time and effort. All incentivized reviews are subject to our verification process prior to publication. Response from Vendor August 26, 2020 Thanks for this review April. Your suggestion for a message capability is already in the works! BL Benjamin L. Director of Operations Real Estate ### "Tricky roll out, very good support, so far so good" 4.0 Overall Rating 4.0 4.0 Ease of Use 2.0 2.0 Features 4.0 4.0 Customer Service 4.0 4.0 Likelihood to Recommend 8/10 August 23, 2019 I feel like through the implementation process I got to know the folks at barefoot pretty well. Seems to be a relatively small company and I feel like I get personalized service and folks there are aware of my customizations. Overall, I'm pretty happy with the product. Pros It can be customized to meet most of my business needs. It's very robust- meaning there are tons of features to use and some very clever functions. The auto email module called "letters" works great once it's fully set up. Managing pics and rental calendar from inside barefoot is so much better than managing inside of each separate channel partner. Some very clever features and reports are hidden inside Barefoot Agent- you have to find them though. Thankfully support is pretty good and often very fast with answers. So far the software has no bugs or glitches either- seems very stable. The Vrbo integration is good. Cons Barefoot and many other platforms assume that the vacation rental properties are owned and managed by separate parties and so it uses a Trust Accounting system. It was a bit of extra work on our end to set this up and to make it work for us. Some of the pricing tools that are available in Barefoot are not supported by its partners. The integration with airbnb is not great. On vrbo/ airbnb aka channel partners, some features that were available to us pre-integration are not available after integration which makes setting rates a challenge. Customized reports can take a long time. Due to the number of features and reports it's tough to learn them all during implementation. It's not the easiest software to interface with or the prettiest to look at. Reasons for choosing Barefoot Barefoot had a connection with my local market that I thought would be important. I also didn't want a software that was owned by Homeaway/ VRBO like Escapia/ v12.
