Lack of Functions by galapagoscruiseonline.com, June 25, 2008
Another reservation system that lacks the basic functions!


A good base product - customisation made it perfect. by kazmiah, March 2, 2008
This is the first review I've written for a joomla component - but felt this one was well due. Though there may be some initial glitches (what component doesn't have them) overall I am very happy with the product and the provider.

When I first purchased Room Booker i was a little disappointed as it did have some minor bugs. The client I used it for then wanted some fairly extensive customisations...and so I searched for someone local to customise it for me - without success (given the budget). I then contacted the developer for customisations and have been very happy and impressed with the product and service since.

I think a component is not going to suit every user's requirements 100%. But it is great when a developer offers the ability for customisations - and even better when that service and end result is efficient and effective. After all the changes the client requested, I know they have got exactly what they wanted at a very reasonable price - much better than if I had a local developer build it for me from scratch.

My lesson, if the component looks like it does most of the job you need (but not quite all of it) then don't hesitate on using the developer's customisation service.


Very Disappointing by adouglas, February 5, 2008
Very disappointed in this product. Purchased it for reserving rooms in a mental health clinic, and found it to be useless for that setting. Both the back and front end were poorly designed and difficult to use for both admins and users, and certain feature made the program too rigid (such as the inability to make changes the day of a booking). My experience with support was awful, and requests for help on making minor changes so the product might be useful were dismissed. Eventually ended up designing my own component to do what this one is supposed to.


Know what your getting by jayflood, September 9, 2007

You should know that unless you plan on having to open and edit files ... then this component is ONLY good for classroom type bookings. I bought it for use as a hotel room booker and it doesn't cut it. Within 1 hour of purchase i emailed the owner expressing my disillusionment ... they were less than helpful to me.

If this product had a demo !! I wouldn't have wasted $NZ130 !!


Do not buy yet - unless you want early beta by klp29, January 21, 2007
2 of 3 people find this review helpful:
I'm really dissapointet with this product.

It absolutely does not have the functionality that you would normally have:

1. Users cannot book - only admins can. Therefor you cannot use it as an online reservations calendar on your site. The programmer has told us that this will be available in "a future version".

2. You cannot send email confirmations to clients.

3. The system cannot handle different lenths of bookings properly. If you have two things you can book, like a one hour class and a two and a half hour seminar, you'll have to break down the lenth into 30 minutes. This then has to be booked seperate for 5 times, if you want to book the 2.5 hour seminar.

Support:
I - and others - have written several times to the support forum at RoomBooker and even some of questions, that could easily be answered, is left unattended by admin/support.

I'm REALLY against companies that puts out what is obviously an early beta version that has NOT been thought through regarding the normal user needs. I mean, WHO want's an online reservation calendar that ONLY admins of the given site can use????


Owner's reply:
1. Users can book already.

2. You can send e-mail confirmations and edit the text of e-mails in the language file.

3. You can create different timeframes for your bookings with a minimum difference of 5 minutes.



And 4 major updates since this date of yours.....



Thanks.

Very Impressed - Extensive Features by tomcat8118, January 11, 2007
2 of 4 people find this review helpful:
After looking for a component like this for quite a while, i finally found the perfect solution. this component allows someone to reserve rooms online! really the perfect solution for a small college or private institution.

it has many features like email notification, the ability to select the time frame, room number, how important it is, and even to select different buildings! for easy to use and very intuitive.

as always, great support from elearningforce.
