The Joomla! Extensions Directory ™

Out of the box, this component does what it says and a lot more. The support is about the best there is and seems to be available almost 24 hours a day. And you need little or no technical experience to get it running on your site without any customization. If that is you, buy it!
There is a BUT however.
I found problems going beyond the out of the box implementation. The documentation is comprehensive but not well presented in that answers, whilst almost always there, are often hard to find simply because you don't know exactly what you are looking for or where to look. For an experienced programmer that may not be a problem but for a person with little technical skill it's hard and frustrating. Often I am looking for a simple, how do I do answer but instead find a comprehensive, in depth technical thesis from which more reasearch and learning is required to understand the answer I'm looking for.
And....
There are many tantalizing and great sounding add ons available but you really need to know what is going on to make some of them work. Well beyond my ability.
However.......
Because Vince seems willing to answer and deal with even the most simple of questions, none of the above is a real problem unless you feel guilty, as I do, about always bugging him.
I'd recommend, without reservation (!), Jomres to anyone who needs booking on their web site but if want to configure it further and you don't know patTemplates, some PHP and a whole lot of HTML you will either be submitting daily tickets or spending hours looking for answers.

In the begin it was a lot of searching.
but with the great support and tutorials it works excellent!
it maybe costs a litle but you get a lot!!!+

The test of a really good product for me comes at the time when you need support.

I can happily report that having required support for this product today I found Vince to be extremely helpful.

The problem was sorted quickly and efficiently and Vince was friendly and helpful.

Highly recommend.

Vince is always there to help and he does this very fast. I'm using it for a boat rental company and it was really a matter of language changes. And Vince was there for the rest. Highly recommended!

I searched high and low for a system to rent out holiday villas, after a long, unsuccesful search I finally found Jomres, now I'll never use anything else. This system does everything I wanted it to do and even gave me the ability to do more than I expected.
Packed full of features yet still smooth running and easy to learn. It's a snap to modify the source to suit your needs and to tweek the design to suit your own site and if you ever have any problems Vince (developer) is always there to help. The support you get from him is amazing, you can tell he really cares about his creation, which is great for the user as improvements are constantly being made. Every support ticket I have submitted has been answered within a couple of hours and Vince has never let me down yet.
If your looking for a professional reservation/booking system then you've found it, your wasting your time looking further.

The payment gateways provided doesn´t work on a important tourism destination as Brazil

I have not found a component as well supported as this before. This system is full of features, more than most users will need, but at the same time is simple to use. Should you have any problems all you need to do is submit a ticket, you will then receive a very fast response from the developer, with the solution.
Jomres is constantly evolving with new suggestions from users being incorporated all the time, it is unreal how much time the developer spends on this. The attention to detail is amazing. This is a system that can be simply altered in looks to fit any site, and with just a few settings changes can be used to either support sites from: A small simple campsite all the way to multiple large resorts. Invoicing; detailed availability calendars; e-mail confirmation, multi tiered management........ I dont know where to stop.
If you are interested in trying it give the free trial an audition. I would be very surprised if you dont like it, and even more surprised if it can't cover all your needs.

This is a great component. You can run your reservations easily with joomres. The support is unbelievable. updates and improvements on a regular basis. The developer is working hard on this component and supporting it fully.

I've had some problems with the licence system but they have always been resolved with a simple support ticket. If you need a reservations system. jomres is the answer.

So my host won't allow me to have IonCube Loaders installed so I can only run jomres on my local WAMP (works so good)...
But what a nice guy Vince is... Pretty much instant support through his ticketing system. The time limited trial proposed by Vince is also the fairest way to try out quality components and in turn to support commercial products by buying them when 100% (it surely avoids dissapointed customers).

Jomres does what it says and the developer offers an excelent support and takes customer requests for the development of mini-components, for their specific needs, very seriously.

It's definitely worth its price.

Congratulations, Vince!

After looking at many potential solutions - I chose Jomres. It has all the features I need (and a LOT more) but the decider for me was the degree of support. Vince seems to work all hours and support for this product is second to none.

If you are looking for supported software for serious revenue generating applications, use Jomres.

I have a pretty simple need for keeping track of users at a shared vacation home. I had been using a hosted service, which had a number of pretty serious flaws, and looked at a number of other options to do this. This is a great solution at a realistic price. And Vince (as has been noted on other reviews) does a great job of responding to questions and issues quickly and accurately.

I struggled a bit getting it installed but not because of bugs or flaws.

This is one great component.
i recommend it to anyone who wants the ability to book a room, hotel or place. We have adapted it to booking of campgrounds & it is perfect.

It's templating system makes it configurable for any website out there, or simply use it "Straight out the box".

Vince (the creator), is also a top bloke who does what it takes to help you out.

2 Thumbs up for this one!

At first, it was a bit difficult to get going, but thanks mainly to the extremely quick and helpful support, we soon got everything working, and it did everything I wanted, needed and even a bit more!
I would highly recommend this script to anyone looking for a good script for reservations.
Thanks for making a great script!

I found this component easy to understand for users and administrators, and they quick answer all enquiries.

This is just what I needed. I have been through several booking systems, with all sorts of problems. Jomres is easy to use for clients who wish to book on line, and very easy to set up and implement.
