I have used other booking component on another project of mine and I can say that this one is considerably better when you get into using it.

I have now used it for couple of months and it is going well now.
There are minor things that you need to get used to as is typical with "pre tailored" components, but now me and my colleugues have worked out our working proceedure to fit the component, maybe not the best way but it works for us.
It took me quite some time to set the component up, which I was not suspecting from all the statements made in previous reviews. But once that is done things run more or less as expected.

The support is decent as stated in other reviews.

Unless you are willing to spend tens (or even hundreds) of thousands of dollars on a fully customised system, your business will always have to adapt to the way the software works. However, we are always interested to hear feedback about people's needs and wishes. We can't always oblige but we do carefully consider every suggestion. It is unfair to give such a poor rating without giving us the feedback we need to understand your issues. I see that you have given similar treatment to other extensions in this category and I do have to question your motives. I hope that future reviewers will be more considerate.

Not only does this extension work well from a practical viewpoint, it is also well thought out from a business viewpoint.

There are plenty of regular releases to add new features and fix the occasional bug.

The support is first class - the couple of minor issues I have had have been dealt with quickly, efficiently and in a friendly way.

This extension is highly recommended.

Rentalot Plus is the most important component on my website and it is the reason why we can accept online bookings. It has a very well organized back-end, easy to customize emails that you can send to clients automatically after they book.
And best of all (something that no other joomla extension of this type offers) when a client searches for certain dates, it gives back an already calculated price, so the client can see it immediately.
The support just couldn't be better - whenever you write, they reply in 5 minutes. Just great!!

I had struggled for over two weeks trying to get other apparently more reputable extensions to work with no avail. Rentalot Plus is Excellent in every regard. The component just works, is easy to configure and setup and I had no problems, in fact it only took one mornings work to have a working site up and running. The support from the developer is top class also. Go for the full support you won't be disappointed.

If you are searching for an extension to help you with online bookings of apartments, look no further.

The extension has anything you will ever need plus the support is terrific.

I even had some pre sales questions that where answered in 30 minutes.

For the price you can get this it’s really a steal

Thank you for making my life easier :)

A very useful extension with excellent documentation and helpful support.

I had an issue that I contacted support about and they figured out the problem and responded to me quickly. The problem was occurring due to another script, not Rentalot Plus, and the fix was easy - just removing a reference to a a js file which it turned out I didn't need.

Well worth the price.

I have been making Joomla sites for a few years now and my best customer runs holiday home rental sites in 3 countries. He recently asked for a good search engine to make the user experience better so I said try Rentalot. SO having downloaded and set up a trail site there were a few issues, but with the excellent support usually same or next day replies we have got it working the way we want it. I even noticed a problem with the pagination not working properly which resulted in a version update 2 days later so full marks for a fully customisable component with lots of user control. Thanks Rentalot

I wanted availability charts for more than one unit and found it in Rentalot Plus. Needed a little support ensuring the product would meet my needs but after that really good documentation and an intuitive build, made it an easy extension to use and adapt for my website.

Thanks a lot....

I bought Rentalot Plus based upon the reviews I had read here. I had looked at other extensions but decided to go for Rentalot Plus. For me it has been an excellent choice.

I had a couple of minor problems that turned out to be issues with my own website and not Rentalot Plus.

I contacted Les Arbes who came back to me within a very short time. They pinpointed the problem with my website. I had read the comments about their support and my experience was the same...the support is excellent!!

The user guide for Rentalot Plus is comprehensive. The extension is very flexible and you can customise it to suit your requirements. It is fast and looks very professional. I have asked for comments from prospective clients and friends and their response was the same... It was easy to use on the front end.

If you are debating which booking module to use for your site I can thoroughly recommend Rentalot Plus... it is worth far more than the 50 Euros I paid for it.

Thank you Les Arbes Design!!

I've been looking for a good product in order to manage the activities I'm running in a big touristic place in France and I had 5 important points I was taking a lot of care about...
I needed :
1 - a product with a wide range of configurable options which I could use for different kind of activities (accomodations, seminar rooms, sport activities...)
2 - a product with a very good UserGuide in order to be able to work with it fast and easy
3 - a product with a reasonnable price
4 - a product with full language support in order to build multi language websites
5 - a product developped by a team which offers a full support in case there would be any problem.

I looked around for a long time and tried different extensions, and I really thought I would never find something to suit all my requirements... until I found RENTALOT PLUS. I read all the nice reviews for this extension and I decided to trust everyone and tried it myself...

I can tell you I'm just really amazed ! The product forfill absolutely all my requirements and kept even more possibilities open ! It is super flexible, userfriendly, with a super good userguide and an amazing quick, honest, helpfull and friendly support !

Once again, thank you to LesArbresDesign for this GREAT JOB and keep up developping !

If you still hesitate to try it, please stop thinking and just TRY IT, you'll be satisfied right away !

My webmaster informed me Rentalot Plus was the booking service I required for my tour company. It turns out I was misinformed, which I realised the moment I read the FIRST paragraph of description on their site.
I emailed them to enquire if there was any way the hurdles could be overcome, same day received a very courteous, professional and also friendly reply; after VISITING our site & evaluating our product range I was correct, it wasn't the service for our business at all...and offered a more than satisfactory solution at the same time.

Marvellous service, even though they had nothing to gain out of the deal, I wouldn't hesitate recommending LesArbres to anybody.

Thanks again!

Recently downloaded Rentalot for a B&B site I'm working on. Was torn between IceBooking and Rentalot, but plumped for Rentalot and am very glad I did. Was very easy to install, very customisable, and upon raising a support request (which transpired to be my mistake, rather than a bug with rentalot), the issue was resolved within a couple of hours thanks to a speedy and friendly support team. Would highly recommend!

I've reviewed many tools and RentALot gets my business because of the documentation and quick support.

My client needs a simple easy to manage solution. I need an easy to install solution with good documentation and good support. I had a question about configuration and it was answered quickly and politely.

I'm happy to submit an excellent review for an excellent product.

I needed a reservation system for a B&B client and, after testing demos for a half a dozen components, settled on Rentalot Plus. I'm happy that I did - I had the entire reservation section of the site complete in no time. I only wish they had a forum since I wanted to run a few ideas past other users. Apparently the developers took it down due to spam, but perhaps they'll consider opening it up again to members-only.

I found this extension and after reading positive reviews, decided to buy the Plus version, as I wanted to have an online booking system.
It works great and the PDF instructions are very concise and clear.
The support is top level: I had a question and they answered right away (although I bought the basic version). For now, I don't have any problems and it's all working perfectly.

I am using the extension on a website for a language school, i.e. for clients to book courses.

I installed and configured Rentalot Plus today and am very impressed with the clear and concise documentation and ease of set up. One question I had was answered very promptly by the developer and overall I am very happy with my purchase.

If you're not sure if this product is right for you, I suggest you check the quality and content of the User's Guide which is a free download.

Specifying different pricing for each day of the week can be tedious but I was able to create daily prices to the end of the year, export the pricing table using phpMyAdmin, quickly make the required changes and then import the data back into the table without too much fuss. Ideally, a pricing CSV import feature would be ideal but not a show stopper for me.
Owner's reply

CSV import/export of prices was added in version 5.0 and certainly does make life easier for people with daily prices or multiple units.
