Cloudbeds
After a great initial experience
After a great initial experience, throughout sales and (almost) all the onboarding, it is clear that customer support and the technical team do not share the same interest in our success. Near the end of onboarding, an issue appeared that they "had not seen before": In short, Google would only show our marked up OTA pricing on maps, rather than our direct booking price. If you filtered on price (as many users would), ours would simply disappear from search. Not good! Without getting into the details, their technical team either repeated causes/solutions which were already proved false (over a video call with Cloudbeds), and does not review previous messages. They won't get on a call. Their keen to make it anyone else's fault. It has cost us thousands of dollars in bookings, and we cannot currently use their OTA functionality as Google. If you're looking at Cloudbeds, you're likely looking at it because of a) their direct integration with Google and b) their ability to drive more direct bookings and more revenue. This issue affects both of those promises directly, and they do not seem interested in solving it. Cloudbeds has been a great experience until this point. Their product is otherwise awesome, their sales and onboarding team is awesome, and the promise of more direct bookings is worth the price (and frankly, it was working fine up until a week or two ago!). This experience with their technical team has our team considering alternatives. I would advise you do the same.

I run a small Hostel with 24 Beds. Cloudbeds overexceeded my expectations a couple of times. Working with it is fun. They try very hard to make complicated things look easy. I used the support a couple of times and always received a useful answer. Thank you
