Very good and convenient booking system
By 
The booking system is easy to integrate into the website and offers a wide range of options for customization. The integration into WordPress worked flawlessly for me.
The system as such, which offers a very large scope and further integration, is also highly recommended. I spent a long time comparing which system I would work with, but none offers me such a wide range of services with such easy administration as this one
Plugin logs out with no reason, re-login didn't work
By 
I use simplybook for two month now and I also installed the wordpress plugin for our website. During that time, it happend 3 times, that I got - for whatever reason - logged out of the plugin. I only noticed it, because some of our customers couldn't book any more on our website. The last time, I had also problems to login again, because the confirmation code didn't arrive via email. The simplybook support tends to claim that there is a problem on my side which isn't the case. In the end, I don't use this plugin any more, because I want to avoid bad surprises, when customers can't book any more. For a premium account I would expect a more reliable solution and a better support from the provider.
The best for photographers

A business essential!

Integrating our booking system with the website was something we were dreading, but using the plugin was so easy, and very simple to setup. Already we have found our sales increasing due to our customers being able to book for themselves!

Fanstastic Booking Software

I haven't been using SimplyBook for long as I am a new business - however, I tried several competitors and ended up going back to SimpleBook due to the features and ease of use.
I am actually the husband of Julia, who runs Lashes at Eleven, and I handle all of the tech stuff for her - such as setting up the website, online booking system and card processors etc and let me tell you, it is a minefield out there!
The software is easy to use and integrate into the website - and our customers find it easy to navigate and book appointments. I have used their support services and couple of times, and each time I had my live chat answered within a couple of minutes!
I highly recommend SimplyBook if you run any form of beauty salon business.
The best booking app & excellent booking features
By 
We're using simplybook for our company for almost 2 years now and all of us are super happy with it. Our customers also love the booking app. We really love the fact that it has all these awesome custom features and that the Simplybook team is trying to improve & update the app every month. I'm super glad I've found it!
We 💜 the WP widget and we've expected it for so long...It's finally here and we've updated our site the moment it was aired 😎
Possibly the best booking system
By 
Highly recommended
Exactly what it says
By 
Weve been using Simplybook for around two years now as it's easily customisable to our needs. We were thrilled when we heard of the new widget which books people in straight from our website with no redirects. It's quick, it's fast and it's efficient. What more do you need? It's a carbon copy of what we created directly on our website. If you use Simplybook, this is a mystery have.
