Viel versprochen, wenig gehalten
Wir wurden bei Beginn der Zusammenarbeit mit SiteMinder darauf hingewiesen, dass eine Umsatzsteigerung von 20-30% normal sei. Leider blieb dieses Versprechen unerfüllt. Auch durch die Anbindung an andere Buchungsplattformen war über einen Zeitraum von fünf Monaten keine Veränderung zu spüren. Hinzu kamen zahlreiche Fehler bei der Übermittlung ins Buchungssystem, wie z.B. Fehlbuchungen, nicht durchgegangene Stornierungen und fehlerhafte Übertragungen von Namen, die keine Seltenheit waren.
Nachdem wir beschlossen hatten, unseren Vertrag zu kündigen, wurden wir über zwei Monate lang hingehalten und es wurde uns sogar noch einmal zu viel Geld abgezogen. Man vertröstete uns mit der Begründung, dass Sie viel zu tun hätten und eine Kündigung momentan nicht möglich sei, bzw. ungern bearbeitet werde, da dafür keine Kapazitäten seien. Uns wurden drei Freimonate angeboten, um uns zum Bleiben zu bewegen. Trotz unserer Ablehnung dieses Angebots wurde weiter Zeit geschunden. Nach erneuter Nachfrage nach 1,5 Monaten wurde unser Wunsch endlich ernst genommen, jedoch folgte daraufhin ein wettbewerbsschädigendes Verhalten. Gegen 18 Uhr, als das Büro nicht mehr erreichbar war, wurde die Kündigung bestätigt und alle Schnittstellen sofort getrennt. Dies geschah ohne Vorwarnung oder Mitteilung, sodass wir keine Zeit hatten, uns auf die Trennung der Schnittstelle vorzubereiten oder einen neuen Anbieter zu suchen.
Dieses Verhalten finde ich höchst unprofessionell und inakzeptabel, insbesondere angesichts der Beträge, die wir an diesen Anbieter gezahlt haben. Es steht in keiner Relation zu den Leistungen, die SiteMinder erbracht hat.
Vorteile
-viele Schnittstellen zu Portalen
-freundliches Personal bei der Kundengewinnung
-eigene Website möglich
Nachteile
-Support Team nicht wirklich kompetent
-auf Antworten müssen Sie min. 2-3 Tage warten was bei einem Standartpreis von 175EUR nicht sein sollte
-nach Integration kein Deutscher Support mehr
-langes Delay bis Buchungen im Buchungssystem ist

Ich war nicht zufrieden
Im Verkaufsgespräch wurde alles versprochen und danach wurde man nur so durch den Integrationsprozess gehetzt und man wurde gefühlt alleine gelassen. Es wurden hohes IT Verständnis Voraus gesetzt. Für einfache Eigentümer geführte Hotels meines Erachtens nicht zu empfehlen.
Vorteile
Das Verkaufsgespräch . Mehr Erfahrungen konnte ich nicht sammeln, weil es nicht funktionierte.
Nachteile
Die Integration und als die Website nicht mehr funktioniert hat, sollte man sich selber darum kümmern.

Zuverlässiger Channel Manager, der jedoch noch Verbesserungspotential hat
Funktionell aber deutlich verbesserbar und sehr kostenspielig.Kundenservice ist leider nicht so gut und lässt sich ewig Zeit für Anfragen und Support....schade für dieses Geld
Vorteile
Die Synchronisation der Verfügbarkeiten in Zusammenspiel mit unserer Hotelsoftware 3RPMS läuft seit einem Jahr vollkommen reibungslos und ohne Fehler. Das macht der Channel Manager wirklich absolut top!SiteMinder bietet eine riesen Anzahl an Schnittstellen und Apps, das ist natürlich ihr großer Pluspunkt.
Nachteile
Die Software und die Bedienung hat schön öfters kleinere Bugs gehabt, für die sich der Entwickler aber nicht weiter interessiert. Das fängt bei Rechtschreibfehler der deutschen Benutzeroberfläche an und hört bei Einstellungs-Bugs auf. Fehler, die man vom selbsternannten größten Channel Manager Anbieter der Welt, nicht haben dürfte.Es gab auch schon schwerwiegendere Fehler, wie die plötzlich falsche Übermittlung der Stornofrist zu dem OTA....also auch SiteMinder ist bei weitem nicht perfekt und lässt einige Features vermissen, die sogar kleinere Anbieter anbieten.Auch müssen Sie sich als Hotelier über den hohen Preis im klaren sein. Über die Sinnhaftigkeit von über 400 OTA Anbindungen kann man definitiv streiten, bei einer derartigen Monopolstellung von Booking.com, Expedia etc.Die Benutzeroberfläche ist relativ übersichtlich, aber die Software an sich sogar mit einer 1000Mbit Leitung ziemlich träge und langsam....das geht besser.Umlaute werden immer falsch ins PMS übertragen....Gäste stehen vor der Tür als Muller heißen aber in Wahrheit Müller. Wie peinlich das als Hotelier ist, kann sich wohl jeder denken. Dieses Problem wurde von mir im August 2022 angemerkt und seitdem hat sich absolut nichts geändert. Immer wieder wird man vertröstet, das Problem wäre auf der Warteliste aber in der Prioritätenliste gäbe es andere Entwicklungen, die Vorrang hätten. Peinlich, dass ein derartiger Bug es berhaupt in die fertige Software geschafft hat.

Macht was es soll - ohne viel „Schnick-Snack“
gut in der Praxisalltag integrierbar - lässt sich auch auf mobilen Endgeräten noch gut bedienen
Vorteile
- ansprechende/intuitive Benutzeroberfläche
- sehr guter (schnell + kompetenter) Support
- Support-Antworten auch per E-Mail
- faires Preis-Leistungsverhältnis
- läuft sehr stabil / zuverlässig
Nachteile
- z.T. würden wir uns schnellere Synchronisationszeiten wünschen da es vereinzelt zu Überbuchungen kommt
- nicht alle Restriktionen können für alle Reisemittler und Portale übertragen werden (liegt teils jedoch an den OTA's selbst)
- FAQ-Artikel sind leider nicht durchgehend ins Deutsche lokalisiert
Antwort von SiteMinder
Hi Ralph
Thank you for taking time out of your busy day to lease us a review. We are happy to learn that you find SiteMinder easy to use because everything is under one operation, customer support has been attentive, and the interface is user-friendly. Most importantly, you feel secure using the SiteMinder product for its high level of security. As for the faster synchronization that has led to occasional overbookings, restrictions can be transferred to all travel agents and portals, and FAQ articles are not consistently localized into German. We will check internally and see if that has been resolved for you, but if you haven't already, please write to us, and we'd be happy to help!
If you find something is not working how it should or how you would like, please don't hesitate to reach out to us via our 24/7 chat, and one of our team will be able to help you.
Thanks

It could be way better
There are some incompatibilities to the Brazilian market, which limited our possibilities to the Siteminder partners, but it is a selfserviced channel manager with a good structure and amazing support.
Vorteile
The easy way of different types of settings for pricing, variations and additional rates.
Nachteile
The limited options of restrictions and the need of creating the properties anywhere and then connect, it is not so practical at all.
Antwort von SiteMinder
Hi Caroline, thank you for taking the time to leave us a review! We are happy to hear that you find it easy to set different pricing and rates with SiteMinder. However, we will take your feedback on limited options due to restrictions on our respective teams to look into.
Again, thank you so much for leaving us a review. we read every single response and appreciate your time!

Just plain terrible
We will be moving to something else as soon as we can. It's a disagrace from the company, their support and product teams
Vorteile
Nothing, it used to be a great channel manager and i'm wondering when it went so wrong
Nachteile
Siteminder used to be a top channel manager. Now we have 12 hotels on it and CONSTANT overbookings from every channel - their support is just terrible, each single instance they copy paste their response (basically blaming each single individual channel) and completely washing their hands of any fault. Channel maanger that can't manage channels and blames them - go figure. Also, they flat out refuse to provide ANY logs. Whether it's to do with connectivity, user changes etc. It's quite simply a disaster, what happened with this once great product. We will be changing as soon as we can

SiteMinder Proper is Good, GDS...not so much
SiteMinder proper is a positive experience.
Vorteile
The flat fee makes it easy to budget and not have to analyze/verify/reconcile every month.
Nachteile
The SiteMinder program works well. My praises for GDS by SiteMinder are less, as its major functionality flaw for me is that travel agent information does not load into my reservations, creating a nightmare to keep staff trained and abreast of how to work-around this major deficiency.

Do not waste your time (and money)
If you want a very basic system, easy to setup, and budget does not matter, you may be happy with Siteminder.
If you want value for your money, functionalities for your pms, customization for your booking engine, integrations for your pms, accounting system... and a reliable support ... look somewhere else.
Vorteile
Easy to setup, functional, good channel manager.
Nachteile
Lack of PMS functionalities: no way to handle groups, agents, segments. Little hotelier is more like a functioning beta, lacking most important options..
Lack of updates: no significant improvements (BE/CM) since we started in 2016. It's no surprise that their booking engine is behind their competitors at this point, it lacks customizations and functionalities
Bad support: do not expect much from them, clear miscommunications between their services. We have been clients since 2016 and the way they treat us...

Hotel Needs Customer Support
When my co-workers would panic, this software's customer service could talk them off the cliff, solving whatever problem they called with. They promptly answered and got to work solving the issue at hand, in a timely manner. No yelling. Very respectful, [sensitive content hidden], expertly handled the crisis and saved the clients vacation woes.
Vorteile
That it has a number I can call anytime I need to.

Flaky product, never make any improvements, terrible customer service
I would never recommend this to anyone. The support is awful, they have little idea about the product. Honestly, it is easier to muck about with it yourself and find the solution on your own than call a useless support team who rarely know what they are doing. I don't think I've ever called and found them to be useful.
There is no one in charge, you cannot speak to anyone in authority to get anything done and they refuse point blank to deal with any suggestions, let alone complaints.
They do not give two hoots about their customers' experience. Every time the money comes out of my bank each month I feel sick. I literally hate paying them. I can't wait to find an alternative. Till then better the devil you know.
Vorteile
The chanel manager works and makes it easy to manage mutiple selling platfroms.
Nachteile
I have been using this for 2 years and in that time they have made not one single improvement to anything. I buy a suite of products. Little Hotelier (back office) Siteminder (Channel Manager) and The Booking Button (online reservation booking engine)
Little hotelier is a terrible product. I was guaranteed when I signed up that there would be a major update to this software, but there has been nothing. not one single thing to improve it. This platform looks and functions like it was built to run on windows 95. It is terrible.
The booking button lacks functionality. It works in part, but they never make any improvements. One major thing is that you cant translate promotions, so you are stuck with the one language that you use to set up the majority. You can translate most screens, but not promotions. I reported this issue in 2018 and was guaranteed that it would be looked into, but a year later and it is exactly the same.
The iPhone app is one of the worst apps I've ever used. I've tried to give feedback on it, but it falls on deaf ears. They literally do not care about their customers.

By the way I just sent about 15-20 minutes going through your website, OTA setups, Google Places, social media channels, room descriptions / rates/ photos. You have an awesome pråçoperty and absolutely nailed how to use the products...very impressive.
Kindly let me know what morning this week works for you so I can better understand your needs and address them.

No overbookings
Vorteile
When introduced to the software, the hassle of over bookings were eliminated. With it's seamless integration to the PMS, it automates availability of rooms and increases revenue by making the most expensive rooms available.

Easy to use software and very helpful and friendly customer service!
We have been working with SiteMinder for more than 6 years and it has been a wonderful journey. We started with channel manager + bookingbutton and expanded the business with SiteMinder to GDS and PMS integration area over the years. As an independent hotel, the services SiteMinder provides are essential to us and we are very thankful for their support!
Vorteile
The software overall is very easy to use and if I ever have questions, their customer support is always very friendly and helpful!
Nachteile
I wish there were more kinds of reports available on the channel manager module. It would also be great if the BookingButton has more features and as developed as major OTA extranets.

Very user friendly.
Vorteile
We were looking for one product with which to manage our inventory for several different OTAs. This is what SiteMinder does beautifully. We are also able to offer unique specials on our own site by using Channel Manager as our booking engine.
Nachteile
The only criticism is minor. When using the calendar feature in the RESERVATIONS menu to jump to a specific date, after entering the start date, you must also go back to the last calender and page forward to the required finish date. For example, if it is Feb and you want to look at arrivals in August, after selecting the "From Date" of 08/01, the "To Date" does not automatically change to August, but remains in Feb until manually moved to August.

Worst Customer Support!
Worst customer service.
Vorteile
Easy for basic use, no installation cost, reasonably priced. This is where the pros stop.
Nachteile
The customer support!! The worst I have experienced. In fact it is non existent. Since years I have been trying to get a rate loaded, and I was not getting anywhere. I follow the steps and it says its loaded, but when client tries to use the rate code, they cannot. So they tell us they don't see the rate code. Anyways I gave up, since it was taking up too much of my time and getting nowhere. A few months ago, I ran into the same contractual issue with client, who insisted I load the rate code. This time, (due to my previous experience), I delegated the job to another colleague of mine and was hoping she would have a different experience. But no, she was given the same run around and got nowhere. She has given up too. We are still without that rate loaded, and don't think it ever will be. Not with siteminder at least.
Antwort von SiteMinder
Hi Sally,
Thank you for your honest feedback, Sally. I am so sorry that you felt that you didn't receive the level of support needed to resolve the issue on rate codes to your satisfaction.
I have personally escalated this to our highest levels of support to get back to you within the next two hours to make sure we truly listen to how we can help an important customer like yourself. We want to ensure you receive the support you deserve and meet the standards we normally provide to our customers.

Channel manager (Little Hotelier) and Booking Button
Nachteile
The sign in process, only telephone code option, I would like to receive the code also by email. If something happens to my phone like low battery or traveling with no roaming it's impossible to log in. There is an app but I don't really want to download more apps, it's too much.
Also I suggest to add another option when enable deposit in the booking button: NUMBER OF NIGHTS, at the moment only percentage, full amount, fixed amount, first night.

My favourite channel manager
Overall I like SiteMinder's channel manager and always recommend it to my clients (large 4 & 5 star hotels).

Best Channel Manager for our needs
Really good. It's easy to use, fast and with a great customer support.
Vorteile
The ease of use versus its competitors. Maybe the setup at the begining is more tedious than other channel managers, but it makes things easier for your daily work.
Nachteile
The only option that maybe we miss from SiteMinder is the chance to apply offers directly in the channel manager instead of changing its price manually day by day.

Not a great start with SiteMinder
We have Tech issues from the get-go, and now a month on still do not have a fully working channel manager. I have repeatedly asked my account manager to call me and she hids behind her email.I called them this morning with a different issue and was on hold for 68 mins when i was number #1 in the help queue. Thus far not a great start for SiteMinder i am sad to say and a month on i still don't have a fully working channel manager.
Vorteile
Really prompt in Sales, and the product training was great
Nachteile
The staff - sales/account manager from the Australia office won't call to discuss issues leading to huge frustrations.You can't talk with the same support person, and some staff don't appear to comprehend what is being asked of them. Many staff has promised to call me back and I haven't heard from them.

Terrible system and support
Terrible
Vorteile
The initial pitch was that the current system we use and siteminder were compatible. I asked on a number of occasions if any other customers worked with the 2 systems and never received a response. The bottom line is It does not integrate with our hotel management system . After numerous attempts to contact support they were unable to provide solutions and response time was terrible. Was told I could not speak with a supervisor.
Nachteile
The system does not work and the support team terrible

Pesima atencion y programa de facturacion pesimo.
Ha sido un verdadero chasco , te lo venden como lo mejor con mucha experiencia y ha sido un fracaso total. Empezando por el soporte y terminando por el tema de las facturas. Ha sido un retraso a los años 40, donde no existía los informes y toda la contabilidad se hacia a mano. En soporte me dijeron que como no existia un informe con los datos necesarios pues que sacara varios informes, los pasara a excell y pusiera a mano los datos que me faltaran para cerrar el trimestre.Me parecio la atencion y la solución tercer mundista.
Vorteile
Nada en general,la atencion pesima, el programa incompleto.

El tema de facturas pesimo, el de informe para la contabilidad pesimo, el que hizo la parte de faturacion no tiene ni idea en el tema contable ni de hacienda. Un desastre.

Siteminder, sinónimo de problemas.
Un infierno.
Vorteile
Mi experiencia con Siteminder es tan mala que las posibles buenas funciones a describir de su software se ven eclipsadas por todos los problemas que me ha causado. Lo primero de todo, tiene un servicio de soporte lamentable, no por el trato de las personas, sino por la eficacia inexistente de las mismas. Personal sin formación y cero resolutivas, da igual el problema que tengas, no lo van a saber resolver de forma ágil, sino va a suponer días de llamadas, esperas y estrés (ahora mismo estoy esperando a que resuelvan un reembolso a un tarjeta y soy yo la que le estoy indicando cómo hacerlo. Llevo ya 40 minutos a la espera y aún nada)
Nachteile
¡Es la primera vez que escribo una reseña en mi vida! Son tantos los problemas que me ha ocasionado Siteminder que no habría espacio para describirlas todas. Una vez estuve sin motor reservas 2 días, porque lo actualizaron (que por cierto es PENOSO) pero resulta que este motor de reservas mejorado no se podía integrar con mi web. Me parece fatal que actualicen un producto sin terminar. Después, volviendo a motor de reservas, todos los huéspedes se quejan de lo confuso que es y puedo decir que 1 de cada 3 reservas que me escriben a través de mi web reservan por booking.com porque no entienden cómo hacer la reserva. Así podría seguir semanas, contando problemas y problemas con Siteminder. Si estas pensando contratarles, te recomiendo que recules, ¡te arrepentirás !
Antwort von SiteMinder
Querida Maria,
Lamento sinceramente los problemas que has enfrentado recientemente. Nos enorgullecemos de priorizar el apoyo a nuestros clientes, pero en esta situacion inusual, nos disculpamos por los inconvenientes causados.

Hace poco actualizamos el motor de reservas y el problema que tuviste fue solucionado apenas aparecio. El equipo de producto valora tus comentarios y los ha registrado como parte del proceso de mejora.
Nuestro objetivo es seguir trabajando con clientes como tu para ofrecer un producto que se ajuste a las necesidades de nuestros clientes.
Nuestro equipo seguira en contacto para asegurarse de que lleguemos al fondo de tus inquietudes y que las abordemos como una prioridad. Esperamos que nos permitas darte un mejor servicio.

Very basic platform, stay away
have spent plenty of time on it to set all the channels up so I haven't been able to move elsewhere but will be looking up other systems soon. Need to see what works better in this big market, They never ask themselves WHY Siteminder?
Vorteile
good software for a start off but then it stops there, updates they make are all useless
technical support is good and prompt on very small issues but helpless if you ask for more,
easy to use Channel Manager & BookingButton after the initial setup,
monthly price is same as many other providers but what you get is far from good
Nachteile
- Cons
- Siteminder & BookingButton are basic but you pay top price for nothing
- the reservation templates that are sent over by email come in 2 pages long,
- need to spend 20 mins to get card details for every booking
-date picker widget is useless, just a square box with no options at all, customization not possible
-reservation dates (check in/out) are delivered not in UK format
-All OTA's can put a cut off time for same day bookings but Siteminder can't do it, you lock up at 10.30pm but at 11.59pm someone can still make a booking & turn up God knows about 3am
-developing team in Australia makes 1 update in 2 years & never gets the messages from the helpless Technical Support team in UK, even then you know 100% it'll be a negative reply.
- have been asking them for 5 years to add a simple *PROMOTIONS" tick-box to apply discounts to any day you want but they keep ignoring it, waste of time
-tech support team in UK gives you their own versions of solving issues instead of passing feedback to HQs and following up the problems
-they have a terrible Knowledge Base & expect you to pay professional web designers to integrate Booking & Availability widgets on website or keep with their ugly looking widgets,
- Guests can cancel a booking but not modify it, not possible
-keep sending them feedback for 5 years & they never cared to fix any of them, not good at all
-been very busy & haven't been able to switch to another company but will do it very soon

Great product, less than average support service
Vorteile
Great software for hoteliers who wants to reach a global audience. Will save a lot of time, especially if you want to offer many different rates and length of stay. Not expensive at all.
Give you ability to connect to so many different booking sites around the world in no time.
Another great thing is - they have their own PMS (LittleHotelier).
Nachteile
The support service. No words... Having problem during a weekend? Oh, sorry we have no one in the office you can speak about, leave a message... What?
Response time for created cases is slow. Accounting: if you have several hotels: your bills could be mixed up easily.
After being with them for 7 years quit only because of support service. Still do feel sad about that as I loved the software. Now we are using other software and each time I receive an answer from new software support in less then one hour I remember how I was waiting for SiteMinder answers for days!

Terrible support and a very basic system
We have been using Little Hotelier with Siteminder (same company) for almost a year. For a company of it's size, the lack of support is astounding. I am constantly chasing them up for answers for the most simple issues. Even after going to the head of the department, issues are still just left or put in the too hard basket.
Aside from the lack of support, the biggest frustration has been how amateurish the system is. A simple thing like putting your own image as an invoice header has been ignored by them. To me, this is simple programming that could be done in a day at the most. Also, there is no guest profile or blacklist facility. To find previous guests you have to look at reservations, each reservation listed separately, not collating information. They brought in a function to add multiple guest names on a booking, not important. They really need to focus on what customers want, not what they want to do.
The latest issue for us is the lack of reports. They provide a few but none of them match each other. Some include payments when others don't, some include extra items when others don't, none include credit card fees. Their response to this was trying to get us to sign up to their payment system. If you can't get the basic system right, why would we do that? We are looking at other systems to replace this one as even though we are only a small hotel, we expect much more than this basic system for the money we pay each month. Do your research before signing up to this software. The basic bones are there but the support is terrible and the functionality is very basic.
Vorteile
It puts bookings into the system via channel manager as it should, well most of the information but not all.
Nachteile
The lack of support and it not being able to do basic things like reports.
Antwort von SiteMinder
Thanks for your feedback. As you know, we have been escalating your suggestions directly to our team and we worked through your requests and gave you answers (and where possible timeframes) for each one. This is something we don¿t do very often, however we felt it was important as you were passionate about the suggestions. We have also put you in contact with our customer success team who have always been there to support you and your property. I believe they have reached out to you again this week to follow up. We are working on invoices. However, due to varying global regulations, it¿s a big project. We do understand how important this is, but we want to develop this feature properly ensuring it complies with international requirements. Guest profiles are also in active development and again we know this is important to hoteliers. With this in mind, it's especially disappointing to hear your thoughts on our support and I hope our team can continue to help you.
Thanks - Clare @ SM.

DO NOT USE FOR HOLIDAY LETS : COWBOYS WITH CONTRACTS
Sales person who tells you what you want to hear. This product doesnt work for holiday lets. And absolutely not as it states for 'Little' companies at all.
Constantly told
'I will refer that to product development' - which has no answer or time scale to the problem and apparently zero guarantee of it being changed.
4 weeks of effort, I decide to cancel (within my 30 day trial) buy another product (which took 24 hours to install and set up) then I get a bill for £600 and a development person contacts me so I can help him understand the issues, wanting explanations screen shots etc (I have already sent this ).
Vorteile
The front desk is impressive if you had a small hotel. I was sold the product for a holiday let company, given a free trial and invoiced a full £600 because I made it live to test (the only way to test is to make it live).
Nachteile
This software is for a fledgling company, I run another company that turns over £20mill, I am not a stranger to software.
The invoicing just doesn't work. The only option if you take a deposit is 'pay at property' . Also if you take payments yourself and not with their products - the invoice will not update the amounts correctly.
All invoices were wrong in amount and direction to the customer how to pay.
My communication emails to guests says 'Pay at property' - Support told me just write somewhere else on the email that they should ignore that and what they should really do.
Antwort von SiteMinder
Hi Leanne,
Thank you for sharing your honest feedback. We sincerely regret your experience and know our team has already been in touch with you to resolve your issues.
We apologise for the misunderstanding around your free period. The offer of a free period (not a trial period) was made to you for signing an annual contract. When you cancelled your subscription, you cancelled within your contract term and hence received a bill for set-up and cancellation fees, both of which we have refunded to you. Customers always have a choice to pay month to month. The offer was understandably more attractive for the annual contract. Nonetheless, we will do our utmost to ensure that all options are reinforced for every future customer.
Our product team researches new enhancements and prioritises the features that have the greatest impact for our customers. We have taken into consideration all your feedback about the invoices.
Thanks again for your valuable feedback.
Warmest,
Mei

Siteminder, impossible to dislike
Vorteile
I have worked with different channel managers, however Siteminder has been the most intuitive to work with and the support of the team has been amazing since day one.
The connection with our PMS was and is perfect.
Overall the benefits are more than enough for us to keep Siteminder as our channel manager for a long long time.
Nachteile
I believe that what can be improved are the yield rules. To close availability upon percentage of total sold rooms. This is an action we, specifically, would love to have.

The best product with the worst service
It is amazing until there is an issue!
Vorteile
User friendly channel manager that links to the main partners. Efficient and fast communication. Very good tool to keep parity across the channels. Refresh restriction and rates as fast as our direct website. Functionalities are great!
Nachteile
Support service! The tool is great until there is an issue. Then it become a nightmare to have things done. Even the smallest request seems to difficult to execute.
Also, it would be amazing if Siteminder would be able to apply seasons to the rate plans.
Antwort von SiteMinder
Hi Ines,
First of all, thank you so much for taking the time to leave us a review. We really appreciate your insightful feedback and always take your suggestions to heart. I'm sorry to hear that your experience with us didn't live up to our usual standards. Many of our 30,000 customers enjoy contacting us so to learn that this wasn't the case for you was disappointing.
I wanted to let you know that seasonal rate plans are a possibility for you listed under your "inventory" tab. Using the "bulk update" tool, you can apply a seasonal rate plan to a specific room according a predetermined date range of your choice. Once this is activated, the rate plan will automatically switch on/off according to the dates you have set.
Hopefully this helps you apply seasonal rate plans to The Set Hotels but please don't hesitate to reach out if you're still having trouble!
All the best,

Great channel manager & user-friendly
The property I manage online is displaying live availability 24/7 across many channels, including Airbnb which is becoming a popular OTA. Room rates can easily be adjusted for specific periods. Overall this is one of best systems ever and very user friendly, which is very important.
Vorteile
It is so easy to setup; from adding a new channel to the mapping process. Rates can easily be configured for specific room types and channels, unlike others which are not so flexible.
Nachteile
Does not have HBSi connectivity. Some channels such as Flight Centre, Apple Leisure Group/Mark Travel Corporation connect via HBSi and I am using Synxis for this.
