Reviews

Look no further

As a non profit, we have to look for the biggest bang for the buck. After looking at MANY non premium plugins, it was clear that none of them could provide the feature set and options that Booking Calendar could. Communication was quick, answers were great, support top notch, and the plugin was EXACTLY what we needed and fills our needs perfectly. Highly recommend this plugin to those needing more than a place for Admins to store booking requests. This IS the plugin you’re looking for to allow painless management and scheduling of just about anything.

Easy to use and very customiseable

We use this to handle bookings for our 2 holiday cottages.
Simple to set up and tweak accordingly. The support is brilliant, The system was setup by somone else amd I continue to update certain things to make usage more friendly.
The support guys are brilliant, they seem to operate 24 hrs a day and on call to answer my tech queries (some of which are down to my lack of ability..sorry)

Great plugin and INCREDIBLE support!

The plugin works exactly as it should and is easy to use. But the real star is the customer support. It’s so good! Really fast response times, extremely considerate and overall just very helpful.

If all developers were as friendly and supportive as this, site issues would be solved faster than you can blink.

Great plugin and fantastic support

I’m bought this plugin 1bout a month ago and I have never seen such an excellent support. After a lot of disappointing booking plugins, I finally found one that fulfills the promises. Thanks!

No Support Even for Paid Customers

I paid for this plugin, never got it to work. My client spent hours filling out time slots that are full, only to have an update and lose ALL time slots! So now the database is blank, like day one.

So now they have a new, large update…so the ONLY way to get it is to fill out a form on their website. I have done that, 3 times, and nobody responds back! I even contacted their support and the contact form on their website…nothing.

I can’t believe I paid for a product I cannot use, and with ZERO support.
