v6.6 changes :
Added a new feature to the property list where people perusing properties can add chosen properties to a "shortlist". This is a temporary list, but unlike the "favourites" list users do not need to be logged in to add properties to that list. When their session has ended, the shortlist is lost.
Also added a cookie warning feature, for those who want to abide by new EU cookie legislation. The legislation is badly written, and I personally wouldn't use this feature but the option is there for you. If you enable the feature and somebody doesn't agree to Jomres using cookies to make the system work, then those users are limited to the property list and property details pages.
Modified the property list template, broken the buttons out into their own template so that buttons don't have to be duplicated through different property list layout templates.
Added an option in Tariffs and Currencies where the deposit can be set to the cost of the first night's stay. Tariffs and Currencies tab has been reorganised slightly, moved tax setting further up, verbose tariffs input into the property details page tab and removed some old code.
A variety of performance enhancements designed to reduce the number of queries performed when viewing the property list page.
Modified property list script so that it takes into account if the ajax search feature has been used and the headers will still show
Over 100 plugins available through the Jomres Plugin manager, including the Jintour and Auction house plugins, which greatly extend the functionality of the system. 12 more plugins are available from Jomres-extras.com and 30+ gateways from OSDCS.com.

I have, like everyone else, tried products, kept some, binned some and paid for some. As a non-coder I have found support a key aspect in my product selection. My views have also evolved regarding people that produce components for Joomla. They give up a lot of time.
I have seen some negative comments from people who have not tried to learn for themselves and consequently written unfair comments regarding components, modules and plugins on here and in the forums.
The other side of that, we all know, is searching for a component that does what it claims to can take time and at times be very frustrating. That's just the way it is.
My view regarding Jomres is that it is simply the only product that delivers in terms of functionality. It is the best...fact!
Yes, it takes time to understand and you will need to embrace a "learning attitude" to get the most from Jomres.....If you moan that it doesn't work instantly then you should really be doing something else.
However, If you have any issues, present them to Vince or Aladar (Piranha)in a constructive fashion and these guys will go out of their way to help you...beyond and above any support I have experienced...My site has gone down so well with my client because I could tailor it to her needs and next time I use Jomres it will seem so much easier....
Thanks to the team at Jomres for your support - an example for others to follow

I have had to register just to give this product a review, and if you knew how lazy I am you would understand just how impressed I am to come on here and leave a review,
the product itself is very good and far superior to the competition i looked at (from my layman's view)
the level of service I received was a very refreshing surprise, the team live and breath this product, and it is reflected in the service you receive

I am a newbie to Joomla and Jomres....the team at Jomres has worked with me in getting my site up and running. I highly recommend purchasing the full support. The response time is excellent given I am located in the U.S. Congratulations Vince on a well thoughtout product and even better support staff !!
I never write reviews but the customer service is so incredible that I had to give them props. The product is great and the crew has answered questions lightening fast and solved all customizing issues in a flash. Couldn't ask for more.
It's just gone 12 months since I purchased my licence for this brilliant piece of software.
The Developer states that this is not a fly-by-night operation and that he's in it for the long haul - and he has certainly proved that to me during the past year.
I have never been involved in the hospitality industry before finally opening our Bed and Breakfast last Christmas, but I knew that I would need a system that could accept bookings and take deposits while I was asleep.
Jomres is an incredibly complex piece of software and I am still finding out new things about it - but it does what it's supposed to do.
I have raised many, many Bug reports and they have all been addressed and resolved very quickly.
On many occasions Vince has incorporated new suggestions or has explained why Jomres needs to work the way it does.
I haven't seen any better application available for this purpose and the Bug handling is recently even faster, thanks to Aladar.

I use jomres some weeks.
I am admired by functions. It on the realy professional work.
I am happy.
However I have two remarks:
1. Slowly works under joomla
2. Very bad localisation on Russian (translate through software) is necessary for retranslating 95 % of the text. I will do translate independently. If jomres team want I can give translate to them.

Thank you for your kind words. Regarding the speed, try disabling the html purifier functionality (it can slow your site down). As for the translated language file, please raise a support ticket so that we can see about adding the file to the core system.
Good component! Rich of features! Only one negative consideration, that is little slow while it run under joomla. For the rest it's ok!
I have installed joomres lite and after one month I purchased joomres developer 4.5.1 version. I must say I am very happy with it. Installation was easy and straightforward. I also sent several questions to support. And the response is fast! good extension and price good.
We set up a hotel reservation website 9 months ago by Joomla CMS with Jomres reservation system.
After 8 months, we cover the investment to this business thank to Joomla and Jomres. Their combination is excellent, especially the performance of Jomres.
I am sure that we can not find any booking extension better than Jomres.

A number of booking and reservation softwares out there promise a lot and deliver very little. expecting your site to link out to an external booking system which takes the user away from you site and onto theirs and then back again making for a very mismatched user experience.
JOMRES keeps the user on your site and fits in to most Joomla or Standalone templates with ease.
One thing that comes to mind is do not take JOMRES for a basic system, it has a lot of features to make it a One Stop piece of software. I strongly recommend reading the manual and keep it close (desktop shortcut or hard copy) as there are a lot of little things that you might get stuck on which a very well explained in the manual. Swallow your pride gentlemen, Read the manual.
Thanks to the JOMRES team for helping the Raceweek team get a running start.

This is by far the best booking script I found.
First of all great support, previous version had some small bugs, but when I told Vince about that, not only he fixed those, but he also implemented about 5 of my ideas into the new version " just like that" without asking me extra, he just used my ideas and I was pleased to find them there.
The script kicks off lot of other booking scripts.
It just works.
Some design flaws here and there but hey what you expect from programmers :) .
The price you pay for the commercial version is not much, it is a fair price, I searched about a day for other similar scripts - they were either very expensive starting from 600 euro/site, or they weren't good.

Have developed my first site with Jomres (with numerous other ones to come, now that the inspiration has kicked in..) and I am very happy both with the comprehensiveness of the system as well as with its flexibility to modify and customize. A great job by the developer. Service is excellent too. Highly recommended if you are looking for a room and property booking platform. Keep up the awesome work mate. BTW, why haven't you got a "buy as a coffee or lunch" button on your page? I am sure heaps of users would love to send you across the road for a nice bite as a sign of appreciation :-)
I am proud to the choose. The community is very big and you can do all with forum. The graphic is a little raw because the programmers work is around the core that is mathematically perfect! There are a lot of plugin that come manifest when you buy the system. Of course consider that the cost is VERY low! What you get is very more that you pay! The plugins in the package are free and they resolve everything. The integration with JoomFish is really perfect! Consider it. Some languages must be retouched and there is a system to retranslate some sentences. I am sorry for my english but consider that I spent a year to choose and I am proud of this choosing. So I decided to write this review.
