### "It's a life saver!"

December 14, 2017

5.0

Pros

I love the option that walkers will have their own section to sign in and see any jobs they have coming up.

Cons

The reports section is a little much to figure out in the beginning but after a while you get used to it.

### "Best in the game!"

September 5, 2023

5.0

I started my little cleaning company with zero prior experience and had a ton of questions. BK's support staff is as good as it gets, quick responses and if I called and left a VM they would call me back the same day and often straight away including weekends and evenings.

Pros

The platform took a little while to get comfortable around but the support team is fantastic and held my hand throughout the process.

Cons

Nada.. love these guys! Would highly recommend.

Pros

Great product and great customer service. They're always looking for improvements that need to be made which is a plus!

Cons

Sending data to Quickbooks isn't the best. Would love if price was split between service and sales tax.

### "Best moving service software hands down"

May 18, 2018

5.0

I benefitted from reducing office staff and saving more money. Also I save personal time from doing extra work on the side.

Pros

I was used to doing everything the old school way of handing out flyers with my phone number and having customers call to book their moves, I dreaded this every time because of the people who would shop around for quotes and waste my time. Then I hired office staff to do this but it still wasted time and now money. I looked for alternatives that would solve this problems and no software really had it ALL for me until I found BookingKoala. From packages to provider and customer logins and to the reports section I have everything I need and more in one system. My customers can pay online and I can pay the movers all from within the same system. No more large amounts of cash or checks that I need to go directly to the bank to deposit.

Cons

I have been lucky enough to be in the Beta testing group and got to experience the software before the general public. Although there were some minor glitches those were to be expected. So I cannot say there are things I like least about this. Although the pricing could be cheaper.

### "BookingKoala gave my cleaning service the JOLT it needed"

August 7, 2018

5.0

I love BookingKoala on so many levels it's kind of scary. My business was not doing great at all before I used them, when I first started out things were great but then they kind of flat lined and then it just went down. I started looking for a software to help with scheduling and I also got a bonus because of the reports section. I could track everything I need in there.

Pros

The first and foremost thing that I have to mention is that the customer support is extremely nice, helpful, and prompt. There has been no customer service that I have experienced like this before! Now to the software itself, the scheduling is a DREAM and I literally don't have to worry about overlapping bookings or any missed bookings. The customer and provider logins are so so so nice and all my customers compliment us because of it.

Cons

I find it hard to find things that I don't like about it because there is just so much I am in love with. For me not being a coder or even a super tech savvy person the embedding process was hard for me but they assisted me with it, (actually they did it for me). There are times I find it hard to find a function to disable or enable but after some time I find it.

### "The cleaning industry really needed this"

April 21, 2018

5.0

I benefitted from the reports section most! I could see detailed reports on pretty much anything.

Pros

Reports, Unassigned folder, Smart Scheduling, Marketing, and pretty much everything else. I am not sure if I can stick to just a few.

Cons

Seeing other peoples reviews I would have to agree with two things, #1 not having it sooner, and #2 setting up all my clients (but the support team helped with this).

I like most about this software is that I can use it all over my business. I can have my workers sign in and I can see how they are doing. Also I like how I can see reports of everything whenever I need to. This makes working on business very simple and easy. Great product.

### "BookingKoala wins on customization and EASY booking!"

December 2, 2025

4.0

My overall experience with BookingKoala is that I do think it is a valuable tool in the marketplace.

Pros

I liked the ability for customers to book cleanings based on an overall grand scheme of the work needed and custom capabilities.

Cons

I did not like how difficult it was to set up on the back end. It is very time consuming and difficult for the average person to figure out how to do.

### "Quick support, dev team, and good community."

May 21, 2022

5.0

Have been using them for a few months in my cleaning company and they have been fantastic. Quick support, quick dev team pushing new features, and a solid community.

Pros

How versatile it is at different company sizes. It is a software you can really grow with.

Cons

The initial setup was tough and took a long time. There are so many features and settings that at first it is a little overwhelming.

Degradation in quality of the product, forcing users to use their own payment processor, and lack of continued quality support.

### "Outstanding software "

October 29, 2017

5.0

Pros

I am not sure if I can pick just one thing. I would have to say the reports or the rating system are some of the best options! Everything is simply great. BookingKoala is simply a great software and I will continue using it for as long as possible.

### "BookingKoala saved my business"

September 16, 2018

5.0

Since the moment I signed up the team over at BookingKoala has helped me through every step of the way and I cant be more grateful.

Pros

I love how everything is all in one place. I have my website and software all under one login where I can control everything. No more needing to go to other website builders like wordpress or wix. This makes it completely convenient to work. I would also like to say that the free courses to grow my business helped me get out of a dark place. I was about to shut the doors for good until I started learning from the courses and using the software to the fullest of its capabilities, from scheduling to marketing with coupons and gift cards.

Cons

Theres nothing that I can think of that I don't like about it. It's priced super fair the product is unbelievable and the support helps me through everything.

November 12, 2017

Pros

I love the fact that people are able to view different packages online before choosing which one they want to purchase.

Cons

The forms are something that you need to get used to putting together but after that everything is a breeze!

### "I will never switch from BK to any other software. "

July 23, 2018

5.0

Pros

This software is so loaded with features and functions that I have been dreaming about for my cleaning business. The amounts of things I can do all within one place is amazing. For instance if one of my providers is going on vacation for 2 weeks I can deactivate their account and they will not be allowed to be booked for jobs but all their information and job history will still be there. Then when they come back all I do is click one button and they are reactivated!

Cons

There are a few little things here and there that bug me like little bugs but those usually get fixed within 48 hours so I cant really complain about that. I would also love it if the Themes were already out but those are coming soon so again I cant really complain there either.

### "I never thought I needed something like this but I do and its awesome"

March 13, 2018

5.0

Pros

Being someone who is not that computer savvy I didn't know what I wanted or better yet needed but when I received an email from BookingKoala I checked them out and tested it out. All of their features were great even for my nail salon. I seriously love the reports section and being able to break things down by week. This made everything a breeze.

Cons

Now again being someone who is not computer savvy this made it a little hard for me just because I didn't know what to do but the customer service people helped me out and it was great. Installing the code on my site was only the real issue I had but after that there is nothing I can say bad about this company.
